Saint Patrick's Day or St Paddy's Day

Hi, Guys!!!, 

As you well know, the seventeenth of March, St Patrick's Day is celebrated all over around the world, it is actually a worldwide phenomenon, because there are many different types of celebrations in a lot of countires. For instance, in New York city, the Empire State building is illuminated in green colour; the Chicago river is dyed green for this event; or in Dublin, there is a special parade since St Patrick is the patron of Ireland; but above all, it is a special day to meet friends at an Irish pub and to toast: Cheers!

What about the origins of St Patrick's Day? Who was St Patrick?

 
He was a Christian missionaire who died on 17th March in 465 AD. He was born in a rich family, when he was seven, he was kidnapped by some pirates who took him to some pagan lands. At that time, he became a slave and turned to God. After escaping, he studied in a monastery and he vowed to teach Christianity to Irish people. It was said that St Patrick used the SHAMROCK to explain the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all and one the same.

Here, you are two interesting videos.

How Can I ReaD and WriTe NumBerS in EnGLisH?

How many numbers can you guess form this painting?

Hi, Guys!!!,

Sometimes, you may forget how to read and write numbers in English. It's very simple when you learn it or just refresh your memory. 

To begin with, we should look at these pictures which clearly show how to read and write Cardinal as well as Ordinal Numbers. Then, let's focus on the following numbers and read them carefully, ok?

1) Now, let me give you more examples with bigger numbers:

289 = two hundred eighty nine (In English "HUNDRED" is written in singular).

4,732 = four thousand seven hundred thirty-two
 (In English "THOUSAND" is written in singular)

6,900,712 = six million nine thousand seven hundred twelve  (In English "MILLION" is written in singular)

** IMPORTANT** In English ONE BILLION means 1,000,000,000 (one thousand million) whereas in Spanish One Billion means "One million of million".


2) If someone asks you: When is your birthday? You may answer: 31st December 1998 = the thirty-first of December in nineteen ninety-eight.
So, when you read a date, you must use Ordinal numbers, and when you read a year in English, just divide the number into two cardinal numbers.

3) What about DECIMALS in English?
0.5 =  zero point five
1.03 = one point zero three

4) FRACTIONS?
1/2 = a half
3/4 =  three quarters
4/13 = four thirteens

5) Positive and Negative Numbers:
(+4) = plus four or positive four
(-8) = minus eight or negative eight

6) What about Phone Numbers?
723 499 100 = 
seven two three (pause) four double nine (pause) one double oh
