The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling is an unusual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in England. It was traditionally held by and for the people who live in the local village of Brockworth, but now people from all over the world take part in it. The Guardian newspaper called it a "world-famous event", with winners from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
Nobody really knows the actual origins of the Cheese Rolling competition. It is thought to be part of an old fertility rite. Now it is a tradition that certainly attracts lots of spectators. The event takes its name from the steep hill on which it occurs.
From the top of the hill, a 7–9 pounds (3.2–4.1 kilograms) round of Double Gloucester cheese is sent rolling down the hill, and competitors then start racing down the hill after it. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. The competitors are aiming to catch the cheese; however, it has around a one-second head start and can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour (110 kilometres per hour).
Traditionally, there are 4 Cheeses rolled, which have been donated and one is specifically for the girls. The cheeses are, of course, Double Gloucester, as is befitting of the area.

(Drei Heiligen Königen)
Wenn wir in die Bibel schauen dann lesen wir im Evangelium eigentlich nichts von Königen und nichts von drei. Wir lesen dass Magier aus dem Morgenland kommen. Es steht keine Anzahl dabei. Später hat man gedeutet, dass es wahrscheinlich drei waren, weil sie ja laut Bibel Gold, Weihrauch und Myrre mitbringen. Und drei heute bring drei Geschenke. Das hat sich der Papst damals gedacht. Das müssen wohl drei gewesen sein. Auch die Könige hat man umgedeutet, weil an einer anderen Stelle im Alten Testament davon gesprochen wird, dass Könige zu Jesus kommen und vor ihm niederknien und ihm Geschenke und Gaben bringen und deswegen werden das Wohl dann die gewesen sein, hat man sich gedacht. Aus dieser Tradition, aus dieser Erzählung, hat man diese Tradition des Sternsingens gemacht. Schon im Mittelachter von Menschen, die sich verkleidet haben und rund um den Jahreswechsel gesungen und die Geschichte nachgespielt.
Sind die Sätze richtig oder falsch?

Cheese-rolling.
The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling is an unusual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill, near Gloucester in England. It was traditionally held by and for the people who live in the local village of Brockworth, but now people from all over the world take part in it. The Guardian newspaper called it a "world-famous event", with winners from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
Nobody really knows the actual origins of the Cheese Rolling competition. It is thought to be part of an old fertility rite. Now it is a tradition that certainly attracts lots of spectators. The event takes its name from the steep hill on which it occurs.
From the top of the hill, a 7–9 pounds (3.2–4.1 kilograms) round of Double Gloucester cheese is sent rolling down the hill, and competitors then start racing down the hill after it. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. The competitors are aiming to catch the cheese; however, it has around a one-second head start and can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour (110 kilometres per hour).
Traditionally, there are 4 Cheeses rolled, which have been donated and one is specifically for the girls. The cheeses are, of course, Double Gloucester, as is befitting of the area.
- Is it a sport or tradition?
- Do you think that British people like to cherish their customs and traditions?
You have read the text, watched the video about unusual customs in Britain and in Germany. Now tell in some words ”Is it necessary to keep such strange traditions in the country or not?”
