Ramadan is the most important season for all [Mulslims / Christians] (1)________________ around the world. I was surprised to find out it lasted a whole [week / month] (2)________________. I was also surprised when I found out that Ramadan is at [a different time / the same time] (3)________________ each year. It usually starts 11 days [earlier than / later than] (4)________________ the previous celebration, so Ramadan [slowly / quickly] (5)________________ moves from Winter to Summer as the years go by. It starts in the [ninth / seventh] (6)________________ month of the Islamic calendar. This is when [the Koran / the Bible] (7)________________ was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The Muslims I know love Ramadan. They have to fast between sunrise and sunset. They [can't / can] (8)________________ even have water. Smokers [can't / must] (9)________________ smoke. But then after [sunset / sunrise] (10)________________, they have a party with their [family / friends] (11)________________ and eat a lot. They party every [morning / night] (12)________________ for a month. This sounds great.
