Example answer:
Lo pasé bomba durante el festival con mis amigos. Fuimos a una fiesta muy grande y vimos el desfile por la calle. Fue fascinante y me encantaron los disfraces. En mi opinión, los festivales en España son más tradicionales que los festivales ingleses y hay más fiestas en España que en Inglaterra. Creo que los festivales son importantes para la cultura y la historia de una región. Además, las costumbres son interesantes. El año que viene voy a ir a un festival de música con mi mejor amigo. Vamos a escuchar la música en vivo y será fantástico.
