A really popular summer festival in the UK

One of the most popular summer festivals in the UK is the Edinburgh Festival. It isn’t actually one festival; eight festivals are held in the city simultaneously, including the Art Festival, the Book Festival, the International Festival, the Fringe and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The Edinburgh Festival has happened in August every year since 1947, except for 2020. The idea for a festival came from Rudolf Bing, an Austrian who loved and sponsored the arts. Bing was the general manager of the famous Opera House at Glyndebourne in the South of England. He wanted to organise an international festival of music and opera to help fund the Opera House. Different cities were considered, including Oxford, but finally, Edinburgh, which already had a long history of festivals, was chosen.

Two important events took place during the first International Festival. Firstly, a week-long film festival was organised by the Edinburgh Film Guild. Secondly, eight theatre groups arrived uninvited. They were not allowed to perform in the International Festival, so they set up their shows in other venues in the city. That became the ‘Edinburgh Festival Fringe’.

The Fringe Festival is now the largest of the festivals. In 2018, it featured more than 55,000 performances of 3,548 different shows in 317 venues. There are circus, music, dance, comedy, theatre performances and much more. Comedy is the most common performance: over a third of the shows are comedy.

Attending the festival is a great experience, but planning ahead is a good idea. Hundreds of thousands of people attend each year, so you’ll need to book accommodation and tickets for popular shows in advance. But don’t plan too much! You’ll find out about great, little-known shows and performers while you are there, and you’ll be disappointed if you are too busy to attend.

What do you think about wants and needs?

The day after Thanksgiving has become America’s biggest shopping day. Closed all day on Thursday, shopping centres all across the nation open early on Friday. Some of them open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others open at 4 a.m. Some “sleepyhead“ shopping centres, like Target this year, don’t open their doors on Friday until 6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make nearly 25 per cent of what they earn in a year. This season puts many businesses “in the black”, that is, they make the money they need for the year.

Reporters from local TV stations interview people who sleep in tents in front of the shops a day or two before the doors open on Friday. These people patiently wait in queue to get products that are 50 per cent cheaper or more.

“Oh, we have fun,” said one of the persons queuing. “We sometimes bring games to play, we watch TV and order lots of pizza, and we often meet interesting people. And, most important of all, we save a lot!” The problem, of course, is that only a very small number of products have big reductions in their prices. Apart from a few big discounts, each shop has other things that are reduced from 10 to 50 per cent, saving shoppers from $10 to $400 per item, and so Americans want to go shopping.

Not all Americans enjoy shopping. Reverend William Graham wants to change Black Friday’s name. “We want to call it Remember Jesus Friday. People should start the season with the right attitude. Christmas has become a Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of Giving. And we don’t mean giving material things. We mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady clean up her house. Teach a kid how to read. Visit sick people in the hospital or in nursing homes. Give food to the Red Cross. Celebrate Christmas by remembering Jesus and forgetting Santa Claus.”

Estás aprendiendo inglés… pero a veces quieres tirar la toalla. Parece complicado, ¿verdad? Cometes errores y te preguntas “¿Cómo los voy a corregir?”.

Pero, ¿y si te dijera que muchos de los errores que cometes son el mismo error, solo que en diferentes contextos?

¡Es verdad! Cuando lo piensas así, todo parece mucho más manejable.

Hoy, en el episodio cinco de nuestra serie sobre los errores más comunes que cometen los hispanohablantes al aprender inglés, vamos a hablar de palabras muy usadas, pero muy traicioneras.

Son palabras que usamos para describir personas, cosas, emociones y lugares.

Sí, hablamos de los adjetivos — o, como diríamos en inglés, adjectives.

Y cuidado, porque los adjetivos en inglés no se comportan igual que en español. ¿Quieres saber más? Do you want to know more?

¡Vamos allá! Let’s go!

 There are many students in my language school. My classmates are from different places. For example,  Ahmed is from Syria. He´s 29 years old. Larisa is from Russia and she is 28. Linda is from Spain and Maria is from Italy. They are both 27. Finally, I am from Mexico. My name is Carmen and I was born in 1997 so I am 25 years old. We speak different languages but we want to learn English well to have a better communication.

¿Por qué decimos “I want TO learn” pero decimos “I can learn” y no “I can TO learn”?

Es curioso, ¿no? En inglés usamos "want to learn" —con ese “to” en el medio— pero decimos "can learn" —sin él. ¿Por qué pasa esto? ¿Se trata de una regla, de una excepción, o simplemente del caos del idioma?

La respuesta está en entender cómo funciona el infinitivo, esa forma básica del verbo que puede aparecer con “to” (to learn) o sin “to” (learn). Algunas estructuras lo requieren, otras lo prohíben. Y sí, hay una lógica detrás de todo esto.

En esta lección vamos a aprender qué es el infinitivo, cuándo usamos el infinitivo con “to”, cuándo lo usamos sin “to”, y por qué eso cambia según el verbo anterior. Todo con ejemplos claros y comparaciones útiles. ¡Empecemos!

Beauty queen of only eighteen

She had some trouble with herself

He was always there to help her

She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles

And wound up at your door

I've had you so many times

But somehow, I want more

I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay a while

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful

I know I tend to get so insecure

Doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies

It's compromise that moves us along, yeah

My heart is full, and my door's always open

You come anytime you want, yeah

I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved (three times)

I know where you hide alone in your car

Know all of the things that make you who you are

I know that goodbye means nothing at all

Comes back and makes me catch her every time she falls

Yeah

Tap on my window…

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
