5. Read the text and mark the statements as True (T), False (F) or Not Stated (NS). Every country has its own unique way of celebrating holidays, and some festivals are so unusual that they attract tourists from all over the world. One such event is La Tomatina, held in the small town of Buñol, Spain. During this festival, thousands of people gather in the streets to throw ripe tomatoes at each other. The tradition started in 1945 completely by accident. A group of young people wanted to take part in a street parade, but they were pushed out of the main procession. In their anger, they knocked over a vegetable stall and started throwing tomatoes at each other. The police had to break up the fight, but the following year, the young people brought their own tomatoes and repeated the battle. The authorities tried to ban the festival several times, but the locals loved it so much that it eventually became official. Today, the festival lasts for exactly one hour, and firefighters use water cannons to clean the streets afterwards. Interestingly, participants are strictly forbidden to throw bottles or any hard objects — only squashed tomatoes are allowed to avoid injuries. The festival is so popular that tickets sell out months in advance. The success of La Tomatina proves that sometimes the best traditions are born out of pure coincidence. 1. La Tomatina takes place in a big Spanish city. 2. The police tried to stop the festival from happening. 3. The festival lasts for more than two hours. 4. People are allowed to throw tomatoes and bottles. 5. It is quite easy to buy a ticket for the festival. 6. Tourists from all over the world come to La Tomatina. 7. The festival takes place in winter.
