The grade-9 habit 🌟

Learn each word as a **package** - the Greek script, its transliteration, and the English meaning together - so you recognise it instantly: γιορτή (giorti) festival, μουσική (mousiki) music, παράδοση (paradosi) traditions. When you write in English about this theme, do not just list words - **explain** how shared events bring people together, with an example. Recognise the script, explain the idea - top band.
