In the past, your 21st birthday was the most<br /> important because it symbolised becoming an adult. People traditionally received a silver<br /> key on that day to symbolise opening the door to the adult world. Today, people in Britain<br /> legally become adults at the age of eighteen, so they often have the biggest celebration on<br /> that birthday.<br /> The custom of giving gifts on 25 December only dates back to Victorian times.<br /> Before that it was more common in Britain to exchange presents on New Years Eve (31<br /> December) or Twelfth Night (5/6 January). These days, on Christmas Eve parents put<br /> presents for young children in ‘stockings' and leave them in their bedrooms while they are<br /> asleep. When the children wake up in the morning, many of them believe that Santa Claus<br /> has visited them in the night and brought them their presents. Gifts for older children and<br /> grown-ups are put around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Then, on Christmas<br /> morning, everyone sits around the tree and opens their presents.<br /> Easter and Mother’s Day are also important days. Young children usually receive<br /> chocolate eggs at Faster, and people often give presents (usually chocolates or flowers) to<br /> their mothers on Mother’s Day: People also receive gifts on important occasions in their<br /> lives. For example, all the guests at a wedding traditionally bring a gift for the bride and<br /> groom. And these days, students sometimes get presents from their parents if they do well in<br /> their exams.<br /> (Solutions Pre-intermediate - student’s book, Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)<br /> <br /> Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?<br /> A.
