III. READING. Read the following text about traditions.

NAME OF THE TRADITION: La Tomatina in Spain

Always dreamed of a real-life food fight? Well your dream might come true at this tradition in Spain. La Tomatine is the biggest tomato fight in the world, annually held in the Valencian town of Buñol in Spain on the last Wednesday of August. Everyone on the streets throws tomatoes to each other, just for fun. You need to buy a ticket in advance to join the tomato fight.

NAME OF THE TRADITION: Cheese-Rolling in England

This tradition is already held for 200 years in Gloucester. Each year on the last Monday in May, participants stand on top of the Coopers Hill waiting for an enourmous wheel to roll a Double Gloucester Cheese off the hill. When the cheese starts rolling, everyone tries to chase it while slipping, tripping and tumbling down the way. The first one who catches the cheese can keep it!

NAME OF THE TRADITION: Throwing cinnamon at single people in Denmark

When you turn 25 years old, are unmarried and celebrating it in Denmark we advice you not to wear your best cloths. In Denmark it is a tradition that your friends ambush you on your birthday with a cinnamon shower all day. If that isn’t already bad enough, you should see what happens 5 years later when you turn 30 and you still haven’t been married. The spice is upgrated to pepper!

NAME OF THE TRADITION: Sweet Coins in Bolivia

If you like pie and sweet desserts you should celebrate New Year’s Eve in Bolivia. All the pastry shops and bakeries prepare delicious cakes and desserts for this evening. However these cakes are not all normal cakes. In some of them you will find a coin. They believe that whoever finds a coin in their pastry will have endless good luck in the new year. So prepare yourself to taste many cakes this evening

NAME OF THE TRADITION: Monkey Buffet Festival in Thailand

In Thailand they have a ritual that would bring good luck when joining, namely the monkey buffet festival. This festival is held on the last Sunday of November and you do not need to be surprised when you see monkeys opening a can of coca cola. Chefs spend hours on preparing buffets and the locals offer snacks, sweets, drinks and fruits to macaque monkeys. During this festival there are also many activities related to the monkeys: dancing, dressing like monkeys, monkey masks and a lot more.

NAME OF THE TRADITION: Battle of the Oranges in Italy

During the ‘Carnevale di Ivrea’ the people of the city Ivrea recreate a historic fight between the people and a ruling tyrant. However the battle isn’t fought with guns and swords. Instead of that they use oranges. More than 500.000 grams of fresh oranges are bought for this ‘Battaglia delle Arance’ (Battle of the Oranges). It is a festival rich of

history and highlighting the fight for freedom. That is where it is all about during the Ivrea festival.

NAME OF THE TRADITION: Biscuit with aniseed balls in Holland

Biscuit with aniseed balls, biscuit with little mices… This all sounds really odd and unpleasant, but it is translated from Dutch and they happend to call this food in such a way that it sounds horrible when translating. Therefore it does not exist in other countries. This food is traditionally served to celebrate the birth of a baby. The biscuits are spread with butter and the ‘muisjes’ (aniseed balls/little mices) are sprinkled on top. For boys they have white and blue and for the girls white and pink.

NAME OF THE TRADITION: Krampus Night in Australia

Merry – or not so merry – Christmas, you decide when traveling to Austria or Hungary with Christmas. There you will meet Krampus, the Bad Santa. It is a half-goat, half-demon who scares children into being nice and not naughty. According to the folklore, Krampus shows up in towns the night before December 6 which is known as Krampusnacht. During this night people get dressed as Krampus, as scary as possible, and celebrate the festival at the streets. So maybe the Christmas Carol “Santa Claus is coming to town” was right… “You better watch out”.

GRAMMAR USE: SHOULD, OUGHT TO

Todas estas tradiciones son particulares, y se alejan de las practicadas, por ejemplo, en nuestro país. Sin embargo, el hecho de que sean distintas nos provoca algo. Ya sea, que queramos ir y vivirlas o que definitivamente no queramos presenciarlas. En tu caso, ¿qué tradiciones has vivido que tú aconsejes y promuevas hacer? ¿Cuáles quieres prevenir que experimenten?Cuando queremos aconsejar hacer algo, utilizamos SHOULD y OUGHT TO. Ambas se pueden usar indistintamente, y la única gran diferencia es que SHOULD es más común.La versión negativa de estas palabras, que utilizamos al desaconsejar, son: SHOULDN´T y OUGHT NOT.¿Cómo se utiliza? Simplemente agregamos SHOULD/SHOULDN´T u OUGHT TO/OUGHT NOT después del sujeto de la oración (I, you, my friend, etc.) y antes del verbo (drink, visit, go, etc.).

Ejemplo 1: Si sé que mi amigo/a ha reprobado en su examen, puedo decir: YOU SHOULD STUDY HARDER NEXT TIME.Ejemplo 2: Si veo que una persona, en tiempos de COVID-19, está afuera de su hogar, puedo decir: YOU SHOULDN´T be outside without a mask face.Ejemplo 3: Si salí de vacaciones y lo pasé excelente, y le cuento a alguien mi experiencia, probablemente quiera recomendar ese lugar: It was perfect! You OUGHT TO visit it whenever you can.

VII. USE of SHOULD/OUGHT TO. Advise a friend of yours what country they SHOULD/OUGHT TO visit and what country they SHOULD´NT/OUGHT NOT visit. EXPLAIN which of these traditions is worth to experience and which one is not worth it. (Utilicen las palabras vistas).

a) Country/Tradition you recommend and why:b) Country/Tradition you don´t recommend and why:

GENERAL FEEDBACK

1. Recuerden que cada vez escribimos “yo” en inglés, debe ser SIEMPRE con mayúscula (“I”), por ejemplo: “yo no veo las noticias” – “I don´t watch the news”.

2. Remember that in English we use SHORT SENTENCES, instead of LONG SENTENES. A maximum would be two lines in length. For this reason, is it more frequent to see in a text more full stops (.) than commas (,).

3. Tanto en español como en inglés, existen dos tipos de “SÍ”, y muchas veces las personas se confunden usándolos indistintivamente:

a) SÍ (YES): siempre lleva tilde, lo usamos cuando queremos responder de manera positiva o afirmativa a algo. Por ejemplo: sí, quiero viajar (yes, I want to travel).

b) SI (IF): nunca lleva tilde, lo usamos cuando lo que queremos decir es una condición, es decir, lo que queremos decir pudiese suceder, pero a falta de algo, o algo tendría que pasar para que suceda. Por ejemplo: quiero viajar si todo sale bien (I want to travel if everything goes well).
