A mexican tradition: The wise men's day

 The wise men's day



In Mexico, we have a beautiful tradition named "The wise men's day". This celebration is on January 5th night's eve and in the morning on January 6th.

The children write a letter to The wise men's in which they ask for toys, candies or gifts because they behave well during all the year. If the child was good, he will receive gifts but if the child behaved badly, he won't receive anything.

This tradition was originated by the Holy night on December 24th when The baby Jesus was born and the three Wise men visited to bring him gold, frankincese and myrrh.

Also, on this day Mexican families eat a delicios bread called "Rosca de reyes" which is a bread with "ATE" a popular fruit concentrate and dried fruits. This bread contains an unexpected surprise; baby Jesus made of plastic. If you get a slice of Rosca de reyes with a baby Jesus, you need to give tamales and atole on February 2nd, the day of the Candelaria, another Mexican tradition. The Rosca is also eaten with a yummy hot chocolate to drink.

This celebration is beautiful and includes a lot of happiness, hope and family.

 People on the move At the beginning of the semester: ... I was feeling excited and happy to start a new semester and learn new things about my subjects. At first, my teachers told us about the topics. I took English this semester and I met the teacher for the first time.  During the semester... Now, I study my classes every week, I feel more confident and I like my new subjects and teachers. Although some classes are difficult, they are interesting too.  I learn and practice during my classes. Even if sometimes they are difficult, I try to study. After I finish the semester... When I finish the semester I will put all the things I learned into practice the next year. I will probably take some extra courses on the internet to improve more my skills. I'm going to practice my English by reading some books and comics. I hope next year will be good!
