3. Now, let’s read the text about Notting Hill Carnival. I’ll give you 3 minutes.

NHC is a street carnival in the Notting Hill district of London. The carnival has been in existence since 1966 and takes place on the last weekend in August. It was the inspiration of black immigrants from the Caribbean, particularly from Trinidad, where a great pre-Lenten carnival has been held for many decades. From simple beginnings, it has developed into a huge multicultural arts festival attended by up to two million people. Following the tradition of the Trinidadian carnival, great emphasis is placed on fantastic costume displays and steel drum music. Calypso songs and soca are also essential elements in the festivities. In addition to the lively procession of costume, soca and steel bands which winds its way over a route of some 7.5km of the area, the festival also plays host to other musicians playing reggae and hip hop, as well as hundreds of street stalls selling exotic foods and crafts from all parts of the world.

Please, find the English equivalents for the Russian ones.
