Talent show

A talent show is an event where participants perform talents of singing, dancing, acrobatics, acting, drumming, martial arts, playing an instrument, or other activities to showcase skills, sometimes for a reward, trophy or prize. Many talent shows are performances rather than contests, but some are actual contests, awarding prizes to their participants.

In recent times, talent shows have become a notable genre of reality television, such as Idol, Got Talent and The X Factor, which were critical in catapulting some amateur artists to stardom, and commercially successful careers.

My last weekend

On Saturday morning I didn't go to school because it was raining and at night I came back home at 3:00 a.m. so I was tired and I got up at 11:00 a.m. Then I had a shower, I watched TV and when my parents came back home I ate and after that I washed the dishes.
In the afternoon I slept, again, then I woke up and I got dressed. At 7:00 p.m. my best friend came to my home and we went out with other friends. In the evening I went to St. Justin Irish Pub with Rosalba, my best friend, and Siria.
We ate and danced and at 1:00 a.m. we came back to my home for having a pyjama party. We went to bed at 5:00 a.m.
On Sunday morning we got up at 12:00 p.m. and after an hour and half we started cooking because we were alone, we washed the dishes and we studied.
At 5:00 p.m. we had a shower, we got dressed, we went out and in the evening I went again to the St. Justin with Rosalba because there was the "Serata Salsa".
At 2:00 a.m. we came back home and we went to sleep.

St. George's Day

St George's Day is on April 23rd. It's England's national day.

St. George is the patron saint of England. His emblem, a red cross on a white blackground, is the flag of England and a part of the British flag.
When you think about it, St. George it's a strange choice for an English patron saint. St. Patrick was a missionary in Ireland, but St. George never went to England. He was a Roman soldier who protested against the Romans' torture of Christians and he was tortured and martyred in Palestine. This was because he refused to renounce his Christianity.

One of the best-known stories about St. George is his fight with a dragon. This is hard to believe, but then so is the theory that there aren’t any snakes in Ireland because St. Patrick banished them.

English people tend to spend St. George’s Day at the local pub. "The George and Dragon" is not, however, the most common pub name in England. According to CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, it is "The Crown": according to the BBPA, the British Beer and Pub Association, it is "The Red Lion". By the tradition, 23 April is the day for a red rose in the button hole, the national flower. However, unlike other countries, Englad doesn't celebrate it like Americans celebrate 4 July with fireworks.
In fact, you are more likely to see big St. Patrick's parades in England celebrating Ireland's National Day, more than you would see any sign of St. George's Day being celebrated.
