21/01 Tuesday. Class 3

Hello!
From the results of the class - only Ana and Victor did the homework, partly Paco and Juan. I´m putting everything on the record and at the end of the month you´ll get the evaluations!

Today we did some speaking - you were talking about Spanish holidays: Easter, Carnival and San Fermin. All groups did their work very well!

Also we found out what countries celebrate something with fireworks:
Brazil - Carnival
China - New Year
France - Bastille Day (July 14th)
USA - Independence Day (July 4th)

British also celebrate one day with fireworks - Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night  (November 5th).
We´ve read about the origin of this holiday, who Guy Fawkes was and what he did. We´ve learnt some useful vocabulary: to let off fireworks, bonfire, dummy/effigy/ragdoll Guy Fawkes, torchlit processions, kick off the fireworks etc.
People usually recite this small poem this day:
Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I see of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

What is Carnival? Why do people celebrate it? Read it here.

Your homework is to prepare a project "Holidays/Festivals" about one holiday you like (Spanish or any other).
