Countries around the world have national holidays. They are, of course, on

different days, but the ways people celebrate are sometimes the same.

The United States have three holidays that are the same in the rest of the

world: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The national

holiday is on July 4th. There are many parades with bands. People cook

and eat food outside their houses and after that they have a night of

concerts and fireworks.

Americans also have another national holiday, Thanksgiving Day, the fourth

Thursday in November. On this day, people usually eat some of the foods

that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc.

In France, the national holiday is on July 14th. There are big parades with

soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and many

events like concerts or operas are free on that day.

Mexican people celebrate their independence on September 16th. School

children march in parades and there are bands and mariachi music

everywhere. People eat traditional food called chiles en nogada on this day.

T he Guaraní were the aborigines that used to live in the Paraguayan forest before the Spanish people arrived. They were nomads

and they used to move around the territory looking for new lands to farm.

One day, when a tribe was about to move to a new location, one of the oldest men decided to stay because he felt tired and weak for the journey. His daughter Yari stayed with him because she didn’t want to leave him alone. Soon, they had very little food left. At that moment, the spirit Tupá descended to earth.He was dressed like a nomadic hunter, and asked Yari for food and shelter for the night. Verygenerously, Yari offered him hospitality and the last of their food. Her charity surprised the spirit and he offered her a reward. Yari asked

for something to make her father stronger and healthier.Tupá grew a green plant with white flowers with his magic powers. He taught Yari and her father to prepare tea using the plant’s leaves. When Yari’s father drank the tea, he felt much better.Tupá told them to share the plant with the rest of the tribe.Now, this beverage brings comfort, health, and endurance to the Guaraní.

IS ENGLISH AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE?IS ENGLISH ANINTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE?

Nowadays, more than 300,000,000 people speak English. People speak English as their first or native language, in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia or New Zealand. In other countries like Pakistan, India, Guyana or South Africa, English is not the mother tongue, but people speak it as a second language. In Canada, they have two official languages, English and French.

Since the beginning of the XX century, English has become the main language of international communication. Although Mandarin Chinese and Spanish both have more native speakers, English is certainly the world’s most popular language in the world.

English is today an ‘open’ language. It has incorporatedwords from Latin, Greek, and many modern languages.For example, many words derive from Hindi, such as pajamas and bungalow.

In Latin American and European countries, English is a very important foreign language and people usually learn it at school.

The importance of English has grown since the WorldWars of the last century. The cinema, music, and television have helped take American culture into many countries that listen to American music and watch American films, sit-coms, and cartoons.

There are, of course, various small differences between the English that people use in different parts of the world. There are also numerous different accents, none of which is ‘better’ than the others.

The most common differences in English are betweenAmerican and British English, but in Australia, Scotland,and Ireland there are also differences in vocabulary.

For a long time, people around the world have considered English as the world’s most important language.

Has this process finished? Only time will answer this question.

IV The Festival of the Pig

On the second Sunday of August, in the small village of Trie Sur Baïse, center of the largest pig area in France, people celebrate a very strange festival. There are piglet races, a pork sausage-eating contest, and a competition for the best pig outfit. There’s music and dancing, but the most important event of the day is the national pig imitation competition.

Adapted from: Dodson, P. (2002) Our Featured Bizarre festivals. Retrieved June 5th, 2012, from: http://www.2camels.com/festivals/bizarre-festivals.php

FESTIVALS AND EVENTSI La Tomatina - The World’s Biggest Food Fight

Each year, on the last Wednesday of August, about 10,000 people converge to the Spanish town of Buñol. Fireworks light the sky and people celebrate with parties on the streets with wine and traditional paella. Music plays and people dance, but they are there for one thing only - to throw about 7 million kilos of sticky, squishy tomatoes.At midday, a lot of trucks carry the red fruit into the main Town Square. A few hours later, the town square magically returns to normal.

III The Battle of Oranges

Ivrea’s carnival, in Italy, is one of the most famous in the world because of the Battle of Oranges. People throw oranges at each other and oranges fly everywhere. It takes place in early January and lasts for 5 days, from Thursday to Tuesday, with several parades andevents, a lot of parties, food events, and music in the streets every day.

II Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling

People celebrate this

festival on the last

weekend in May in

Gloucestershire, England.

The race begins when

the master of ceremonies

violently throws a piece of

cheese down a hill. All the competitors then throw themselves

down the hill after the cheese. The winner keeps the cheese.

Children can’t take part in the competition, but there are a few

uphill races, one for boys under 12 and one for girls. They are

slower, but entertaining as well!

THE AVOCADO FESTIVALThe California Avocado

Festival began in 1986.

Did you know that when the Aztec ruler

Moctezuma presented

a gift to Spanish explorer Cortez in 1519, he included avocados

along with gold, silver, and jewels? The inhabitants of Carpenteria,

California, in the USA, commemorate this fact every year with an

event completely centered on the avocado. In fact, if you mention

any other fruit or vegetable at this annual October event, the

people will throw you into the World’s Largest Bowl of Guacamole.

Why avocados? Well, Santa Barbara County is the third largest

avocado producer in North America. Why in October? Because

statistics show that October is one of the sunniest months of the

year, with the least amount of rainfall.

The Avocado Festival has become one of the largest festivals in

California with three days of fabulous food, terrific music, and great

safe family fun. The Avocado Festival is free for all to enter. Besides lots of chips and

dip, visitors can take part in some friendly “avo-tivities.”

Of course there’s a competition for the best guacamole and various

other recipes (ice cream and brownies), but the biggest event is the

Best Dressed Avocado. There’s also a photography contest and pop

art show, where anything avocado goes.

Holy guacamole! For more info call 805/684-0038 or visit “http://www.avofest.com”

READING

Florence Nightingale was born on May 12th, 1820 in Florence, Italy. Her family was rich and her father taught her at home.In 1844, she had the idea to work in hospitals. She wanted to be a nurse, but her parents did not want her to become one. She confronted them firmly and she worked as a nurse at Salisbury Royal Infirmary. She became an expert on hygiene quickly.In 1853, she found her first ‘paid’ job. She worked until October, 1854 and then went to help nurse the British soldiers of the war in Crimea. The soldiers thought that Florence Nightingale was a great lady, so when she returned to Britain, she was a heroine. People wrote songs about her and Queen Victoria and Prince Albert gave her an award.In 1859, Florence wrote a small book called ‘Notes on Nursing’, with a special section about taking

care of babies. The book sold millions of copies all over the world.

In 1860, she opened the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St Thomas Hospital in London, where Florence almost invented modern nursing as we know it today.In 1861, Florence became ill. She could not walk anymore and for the next 30 years she continued working

hard from her home at 35 South Street, in London.

By 1896, she was so frail that she couldn’t leave her bedroom.

On August 13, 1910, she fell asleep and died quietly.She was buried in the family grave at East Wellow. Six sergeants of the British Army carried her coffin.Her only memorial is a line on the family tombstone “F. N. Born 1820. Died 1910. She lived for ninety years and three months.”

I _____________________________________In ancient times, people invented new machines, materials, and ways of doing things, but no one knows what the first invention was.Prehistoric inventors found ways to make and keep fires burning. They invented ways to grow plants for food and learned how to tame animals. Other great prehistoric inventions were the wheel, pottery, and ways to build houses.

II _____________________________________One great invention was the printing press. A German named Johannes Gutenberg invented a press to print books in the 1400s. Books became much more common and helped other inventors make new things.After the invention of the steam engine around 1700, inventors made many new machines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all kinds of factory machines.Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the late 1800s. The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, the phonograph, and other things that use electricity, in the late 1800s.

III _____________________________________No one knows the names of prehistoric inventors. Until the 1900s, most inventors worked alone. Today, most inventions come from scientists and engineers who work in teams. Most of them work for universities, government agencies, or big companies.

A day in the life of a

we’re talking to Charlie, who has been a firefighter fornearly six years.

“I’m lucky because I really love my job. I enjoy workingin a team and I get along with my co-workers. I also likethe contact I have with the public; it’s great to know thatwhat I do makes a difference. I have to work onthe weekend a lot, because this is when themajority of incidents happen.”

“Occasionally the work can be frustrating because we get hoaxphone calls from people who say they have a problem, but whenwe arrive, there’s nothing there. We can’t ignore any emergencycalls and we have to go to investigate, but we discover that theyhave just made up a story for fun.”

“At other times the job can be very dangerous. Sometimes peopleare injured because they couldn’t get away from the fire quicklyenough. The hardest part of my job is when I see people who arehurt.”

“Our work is often very physical, so we have to keep ourselves in good shape. I lovemy job and I’ll carry on doing it for as long as I can.”

Notice this symbol. This signals that the stressfalls on the first syllable,so we say castle.

I t was about two o’clock in the morning when Count Cadaver opened his castle door. It was raining and very dark - the

perfect night for a walk! Count Cadaver walked in the direction of thetown. Two thin men were sitting on the cemetery wall, but CountCadaver didn’t stop and talk to them. Some rats were eating the

A tallwoman was standing near the door. She smiled at CountCadaver, but he didn’t speak to her. He pushed open the doorand went to his favorite place. Some old men were playingdominoes. A young man and his girlfriend were kissing in the corner.Three of the Count’s friends were playing cards. Count Cadaver didn’t say“Hello” to anyone.

The Invention of the

BicycleWritten by Rebecca Bond

A long time ago, nobody had a bicycle. Nobodyrode a bicycle to school or to work, or to the parkjust for fun. Nobody even thought about bicycles.There were no bicycles!

Then one day someone had an idea and the bicyclewas born! Leonardo da Vinci, a very famous artist,inventor and scientist, thought a bicycle seemedlike a good invention. He made the first drawing ofa bicycle. That was about 500 years ago.Unfortunately, he died before his idea became areal machine, but it was still a good idea, and otherpeople decided to work on it.

About 300 years ago (200 years after Leonardo didhis drawing), somebody finally made the firstbicycle. It wasn’t like the bicycles we have today. Ithad wooden wheels and it didn’t have any pedals.Instead of pedaling, the rider sat on the seat androlled along by pushing his feet on the ground. Itwasn’t perfect, but it was a good start.

Little by little, more inventors made the bicyclebetter. They added pedals. They made wheels outof metal and rubber. They discovered better ways tosteer and to brake.

About 100 years ago, they started making bicyclesthat looked very much like the bicycles we ridetoday. They were very good bicycles. Suddenly,everyone wanted a bicycle! Bicycles were a quickand easy way to get around and, most of all, theywere fun. All the bicycle-building stores were verybusy. They had a lot of business!

Today, people all around theworld ride bicycles. They ridethem on dirt roads in smalltowns and on crowded streets inbig cities. In some cities, thereare so many bicycle riders that itseems like everyone is riding abicycle! Well done, Leonardo!
