The task is to read what teenagers from different nationalities have to say about how St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in their countries and then answer questions or summarize the information. However, since no specific question was asked by the student, I’ll provide a clear summary of each teenager’s description as if preparing for comprehension questions.
Let’s go step by step:
1.
Leo (Ireland)
- St. Patrick’s Day is religious — like Christmas and Easter.
- People go to mass and pray for saints and missionaries.
- Then they watch local parades — that’s when real fun starts.
- There are also feasts, charity events, concerts, and Guinness beer.
2.
Emma (Argentina)
- Celebrated especially in Buenos Aires.
- Streets are closed for parties because weather is warm.
- People wear green, dance, drink beer all night until 7–8 AM.
3.
Emily (Japan)
- Big parade in Tokyo with ~2,000 people marching down Omote Sando Avenue.
- Lined with Irish and Japanese flags.
- Japanese love parties and Irish things — including Guinness ($7/pint!).
4.
Joe (USA)
- Brought by Irish colonists; now everyone celebrates.
- Parades everywhere — NYC draws over 1 million spectators.
- Americans wear green; if you don’t, you might get pinched!
- Some cities paint traffic stripes green; Chicago dyes its river green.
- They also enjoy Irish beer.
5.
Katya (Canada)
- Longest-running parade is in Montreal, Québec — since 1759!
- Toronto’s parade started in 1988 and now includes:
• 100 organizations
• 32 Irish county associations
• 2,000 marchers
• 30 floats
• 14 bands
• Plus wolfhounds, leprechauns, talking shamrocks 😊
All these descriptions show that while St. Patrick’s Day began as an Irish religious holiday, it’s now celebrated around the world with parades, green clothing, music, food, and drinks — adapted to local cultures.
Final Answer:
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated differently around the world: In Ireland, it’s religious with masses and parades; in Argentina, people party outdoors in green; in Japan, there’s a big Tokyo parade with Guinness; in the USA, huge parades happen nationwide with green traditions like dyeing rivers; and in Canada, Montreal hosts the oldest parade since 1759, while Toronto’s has grown into a massive event with thousands of participants.
