CRAZY BRITISH FESTIVALS

The British are eccentric. In summer they organize some very silly festivals.


GRAVY WRESTLING
In Britain, people have a great sense of humour.
So they organize crazy festivals and silly sports!
One of the most popular is gravy wrestling.
Participants wrestle for two minutes in a pool 
of sauce called "gravy". Around 2,000 litres of
the sauce are prepared for the championships
and people wear fancy dress.
They will probably never eat gravy again!


BOG SNORKELLING
The first World Championship was in 1985.
More than 200 people participate each year.
They complete two legths of a 55-metre bog in 
the shortest time possible.
They swim using their flippers.


WORM CHARMING
These people are looking for worms.
They make vibrations in the soil and use water 
to encourage worms to come to the surface.
They use music too. Worm charming began 
in 1980 in Cheshire, England.
Ten-year-old Sophie Smith "charmed" 567 
worms in 2009. That's a world record.


CHEESE ROLLING
It looks funny, but these people are running
after cheese.
The competition started in England 
200 years ago. A round cheese is rolled from 
the top of the hill and participants try to catcch 
it. The cheese travels at 110 km/hour, and it can 
be very dangerous!


SNAIL RACING
These people love snail racing. 
Snails start at the centre of a table and move
30 cm to the perimeter. Each snail has a number 
on it to make sure there's no cheating.
In 2010, a snail called Sidney won in three minutes 
and 41 seconds. Fans must be very patient.


TOE WRESTLING
Toe wrestling is like arm wrestling... with your 
feet! Players sit down and join toes. They try to
pin the other player's foot for three seconds.
The Toe Wrestling Championships started
in 1970s in Derbyshire, England.
The best player in the wora is Nash.

THE ROYAL WEDDING

MY HOLIDAY WEEK

During one week 4th ESO students were in Italy, 
I rested every day and did homework in peace.
I also leave a little partys for a different places.
Every day I get up late and did not care the time.
I spend the whole entire week at home in Melianta.
On Saturday I went to play footbal and work at night.
I also stayed with my neighbor, because he was party in the afternoon.
I was also at Eduard Camps house, my classmate and friend.
We also stayed with some friends playing poker. 
They were very funny and entretaining.
When this holiday week ended, I stick with Easter.
Another week of celebration followed.

INTRODUCE SCHOOL ON SATURDAY MORNINGS

Introduce this new law is an a serious mistake.
The students won't improve academic results.
In my view, this law would have some negative consequences.


As for as I'm concerned, I think that introduce school
on Saturday would get lower school results.
If there's school percerange students would go to school
without a desive to work.


Obviously a lot of students would be tired
and this students wouldn't be aware in the clasroom
and they wouldn't understand the class concepts.
Students would be more difficult to control.


In conclusion I think that this new law will not improve
school performance but the oposite the school level drops.
I think the best idea is that school hours continue
like now.
