2. "You can/ought learn traditional songs and dances." - This is also a valid reason to celebrate traditional festivals. Learning traditional songs and dances is a way to actively participate in and appreciate the cultural aspects of a festival.

3. "You might/should respect the customs of a group of people or place." - Respecting the customs of a group of people or place is a fundamental aspect of celebrating traditional festivals, so this is a valid reason.

4. "You must/can try local food." - Trying local food is a common and enjoyable part of celebrating traditional festivals, so this is a valid reason.

5. "You will/need enjoy yourself." - While enjoyment is often a result of celebrating traditional festivals, it's not necessarily a reason to celebrate them. People celebrate primarily to connect with culture, tradition, and community.

6. "You might/shall see traditional costumes." - Seeing traditional costumes is a part of the cultural experience at many festivals, so this is a valid reason.

7. "You have to/can take part in competitions." - Taking part in competitions can be a fun and engaging way to celebrate some traditional festivals, so this is a valid reason in some cases.
