I think the purpose of this festival is to display unusual works of art in the desert. I think people can see large works of art at this festival. Perhaps, visitors can watch art being made and even take part in creating works of art, too.
1 D (my frustration gave way … Ahead of us was … hundreds of cars dressed up to look like whales, rabbits, steamboats)
2 D (the desert landscape is transformed into a huge, dusty canvas for 50,000 participants … who assemble their own unique pieces of artwork)
3 A (motto ‘leave no trace’, leave the desert in its previously unspoilt condition)
4 C (not a consumer society … no money … giving something away to a stranger later)
5 D (were completely amazed by something different)
6 C (if I had shaken off my fears and truly embraced the freedom of the week, I would be a better person now)

2 If their mobile home hadn’t broken down, they would be here now.
3 I they had repaired the air-conditioning, they wouldn’t feel hot now.
4 If I spoke French, I would have understood what they were saying.
5 If we had hired a mobile home, we wouldn’t be sleeping in a tent.
If I were an adventurous person … I would have jumped at the chance
If I had shaken off my fears … I would be a different person now

I was impressed by the fact that the people create huge works of art in the desert. I was also impressed that when they leave, they leave the place exactly as they found it. I also thought it was impressive that the people at the festival don’t use money and they give away free food and ‘pay it forward’.
