Viatge a Irlanda

We're happy to say that our trip to Kilfinnane in Ireland is on the track.
We're going to spend a week full of great experiences. Not only are we going to improve our English level but we will also meet some new people from a different culture, which is an important point to keep in mind because we need as much understanding of different cultures as we can get so we can have a more positive attitude about others and life in general.


Ens sentim molt satisfets de poder dir que el nostre viatge a Irlanda està en camí.
Passarem una setmana plena de bones experiències on no només millorarem el nostre nivell d'anglès, sinó que també tindrem l'oportunitat de conèixer persones d'una cultura diferent. Aquest fet és important a tenir en compte ja que com més coneixement adquirim de les diferents maneres de pensar i fer, més positiva serà la nostra actitud davant els altres i la vida en general.

Bonfire Night

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night,  is an annual celebration  on the evening of the 5th of November . It celebrates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, in which a group of conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London on the evening of 5 November 1605, against the Protestant King James I.

The celebrations,  involve fireworks displays and the building of bonfires, traditionally on which "guys",  representing Guy Fawkes, the most famous of the conspirators are burnt.
 In the United Kingdom, there are several other regional traditions that accompany Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night: the eating of bonfire toffee, toffee apples, the traditional 'apple lollipop', and baked potatoes.

Cultural References

The Gunpowder Plot inspired Shakespeare's Macbeth.

The film V for Vendetta recreate de Gunpowder Plot.

Welcoming September and the new school

GALL BLOG_September 1 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This post first appeared in September 2013 on  English with a Twist site.
 
September has arrived.
For many people this signals the end of the summer holidays and the return to the daily grind ( the everyday work/school routine).
What does this daily grind mean to people?

Children
September brings in a new academic year where children will be moving class, meeting new classmates and teachers.
  • In the UK, schoolchildren wear school uniforms with their school’s badge sewn on their blazer or jumper. Every year parents have to buy new uniforms . Most of these uniforms consist of a blazer (jacket), a pair of trousers or shorts (boys), skirts (girls),shirts, jumpers, cardigans, socks and shoes. Every school has a different uniform with specific colours.
  • Then there is the school stationery to buy, for example, exercise books, pencils, sharpeners, pens, rulers, erasers, scissors, highlighter pens, pencil sharpeners and pencil cases. Anything else I’ve forgotten?
  • The start of school sees an increase in traffic on the roads especially with parents doing the school run in their cars. Some children walk to school accompanied by their parents, normally mothers, when they are in junior school. As soon as they reach secondary school (13 years old), they do NOT want to be seen any where near a parent!
AdultsAs for us adults, September can be extremely welcome. If you ask my friends who are parents, the start of the new school year is a moment of great celebration. They can finally have a break from their children! No more having to find different ways of entertaining their bored offspring (children).

However, before the celebration really starts let’s take a look at what September really means for the grown-ups:
For those who work in an office, there’s the daily commute. If you are a commuter, you have a daily journey from your home to the office. This could be in a car, on a train, tube or bus.There could be traffic jams on the roads, train or tube delays, crowded train carriages with no place to sit. We have an idiomatic expression for this called the Rat Race.

Happy September, folks
