In some countries, World Book Day actually    7    (take) place on other days of the year, despite the fact that the intentional event was created by UNESCO. For example, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Ireland all celebrate    8    (they) own World Book Day events on     9    different day. However, the international day    10    (hold) on the same day each year since it began in 1995.
