makes you feel like you are missing out. People do not like to miss out on popular things.

4. Create another world for your readers
The real fans of WOW see it as another world. A world in which they can perform
magic, make friends, conquer towns and change.

Have you ever heard the Edinburgh Festival? It is an international arts festival. Every
summer, visitors from all over the world travel to Edinburgh to enjoy the festival. It lasts for three
exciting weeks and is full of international performances of opera, theater and dance.
The creation and celebration of this festival dates back to 1947, just after the World War II.
It was born to encourage, enrich and to give new strength to cultural life in Europe. It was also
created to improve international relationships among countries by bringing together the best
European performers.
The Edinburgh Festival is not only one big festival as most people might think but a group
of “small” festivals happening at the same time in the capital of Scotland. They all have their own
programmes and you will need different tickets to their own events.
Last year, the best artists from China, India, Japan, Korea joined others from all parts of the
world in a celebration of the eastern culture. People enjoyed performances of the National Ballet
of China and Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and many more shows.
