1. Cities and Celebrations Around the World

   People live in different cities and countries around the world. Every country has special days and exciting holidays.

   • Japan: Children celebrate Children's Day in May by flying colourful carp fish flags in their cities.
   • Italy: Families gather together in beautiful historic cities to celebrate Republic Day in June with music and parades.
   • Mexico: People celebrate Independence Day in September with bright decorations and traditional songs in city squares.
   • Türkiye: Children from all over the world come together in Turkish cities to celebrate National Sovereignty and Children's Day on April 23rd.

   When we listen to or watch stories about life in these cities, we can look for clues such as city landmarks, flags, and festive clothes to understand where people are and what holiday they celebrate.

   Traditional Foods: Healthy and Unhealthy

   In different cities and countries, people eat special national dishes. Some foods keep our bodies strong and energetic, while others should only be eaten occasionally.

   Healthy Traditional Choices

   • Sushi from Japan: Fresh fish, steamed rice, and seaweed provide good protein and vitamins.
   • Mediterranean Salad from Italy: Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and olive oil keep our hearts healthy.
   • Lentil Soup and Kebab from Türkiye: Lentils and grilled meat give our muscles strength.

   Treats to Enjoy in Small Amounts

   • Fried churros and sugary desserts: These contain a lot of sugar and oil.
   • Salty snacks and sodas: Drinking fresh water or ayran is much healthier for our growing bodies than fizzy sodas.

   Remember: Eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and homemade meals helps us stay active at school and in our daily life!

   How to Derive Meaning from the Details

   We can make simple comparisons by looking closely at the details:

   • Akio, Chiara, and Elif choose dishes with vegetables, fresh fish, or grilled meat, which are healthy.
   • Mateo celebrates with a sweet pastry, which is a delicious holiday treat but an unhealthy choice if eaten every day.
   • Both Akio and Elif celebrate special holidays dedicated to children in their home countries.
