WOMENS DAY READING COMPREHENSION

Hi girls.

Remember you have to answer the questions about the reading for next class.


READING COMPREHENSION - INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
Develop your reading skills. Read the following text and do the comprehension questions

WOMEN'S DAY
International Women's Day (IWD) is marked on March 8 every year. Countries around the world celebrate IWD to give credit to the economic, political and social achievements of women and to show respect to their contributions in the development of their countries. The IWD was first celebrated on 19 March 1911 in Germany following a declaration by the Socialist Party of America. It's only in the beginning of the 20th century that the day was officially and internationally recognized because of the rapid industrialization and the social protest that it accompanied.
On this day women are usually given flowers and small gifts. It is also celebrated as an equivalent of Mother's Day in some countries. Children also give small gifts to their mothers and grandmothers. In countries like Portugal, it is common, at the night of 8 March, for groups of women to celebrate the holiday with women-only dinners and parties.
Women are becoming more powerful in business, entertainment, politics and many more areas, but there are still a lot of inequalities around the world which call for the mobilization of everybody to grant women the proper status they merit.
