Project on A Christmas Carol by Francisco J. Prados (4º ESO A)
Football legends - Pelé, los Santasticos y la Copa Libertadores de 1962.
Pele has been one of the best players in the history of soccer. He was known by the nickname of O'rey because he did magnificent things with the ball.
ResponderEliminarHe has been one of the greatest scorers in history, and my grandfather told me that he had seen Maradona, Di Estefano, and Messi play, but none were like Pele. His most famous title was the World Cup that he won with a broken knee, and I won three World Cups with Brazil. Unfortunately, Pele recently died of cancer but he died being a soccer hero and his country.

The Groundhog Day is a holiday that has been celebrated for many years in the United States. In fact, people have been observing this holiday for over a century. The tradition involves a groundhog, which is a type of rodent, coming out of its burrow to predict the weather. If the groundhog sees its shadow, it is said to mean that there will be six more weeks of winter. However, if it does not see its shadow, it means that spring is just around the corner. I like this tradition because has become a fun way to celebrate the changing of the seasons.

Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2, a popular celebration that originated in Europe and would later move to USA and Canada, places where it's still celebrated.
ResponderEliminarAs the story goes, during Candlemas Day, Christians took candles to church to bless them and protect their homes during the winter. Over the years this religious day became associated with the weather. Later, in Germany, a hedgehog was introduced to the tradition, who by means of its shadow would tell how much winter or bad weather they would have.
German settlers would bring these traditions with them to USA and Canada, but lacking hedgehogs, they would choose a similar hibernating animal, the groundhog. Thus would give free rein to the festivity, Groundhog Day being celebrated every February 2.
