The 23rd of April is a very important day in Catalonia because of St. George celebration. But, did you know that it is celebrated worldwide as the International Book Day?
It all started in 1995 when the UNESCO decided to dedicate a day a year to promote reading, a lifelong skill key in learning that also adds richness to our lives.
They chose this date to honour two of the most famous writers ever who died on a 23rd of April…
Both names were familiar but we realized that we didn’t know much. We watched a video about William Shakespeare life and we were amazed! Did you know that he helped build a theatre and that he wrote more than 35 plays?
The video was very interesting and the images helped us understand it better. We were even able to summarize the text by putting sentences in order!
Another curiosity about Shakespeare is that he invented a lot of expressions that we still use today, even in Spanish. Play the game and match the expressions. How many can you get right?
