<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Americans of all religions celebrate
Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. Children do not go
to school,, and most businesses close for four days. People in Canada
also celebrate thanksgiving, but they celebrate it on the second
Monday in October.</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><b>WHY
IS THANKSGIVING AN IMPORTANT DAY?</b></span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">The
tradition started with the “Pilgrim Fathers”. They were the
founders of a colony in North America. These people were Puritans.
They were against the Church of England, and suffered persecution in
England. They wanted to start a new life in a new country.</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Eventually, on 6 September 1620, 102
men, women and children left Plymouth in south-west England on a ship
called <i>the Mayflower</i>. The voyage was difficult: two Pilgrims
died, but two were born. On 11 December 1620 they landed on the
north-east coast of North America. They called this area Plymouth. It
was almost winter and there wasn´t much food. They immediately built
small houses, but it was too late to grow crops. The winter was very
long and cold and half of the Pilgrims died.</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">In
the spring a native American called Squanto helped the Pilgrims. He
taught them how to grow corn and how to hunt and fish. Soon the
Pilgrims and the Wampanoag native Americans became friends. The
Pilgrims grew crops and the summer harvest was excellent. By November
1621 everyone had food and a home.</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">There
was hope for the future.</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">William Bradford was the governor of
the Pilgrim´s colony. He decided to celebrate with a dinner for the
Pilgrims and about ninety native Americans. He wanted to thank God.
This was the first Thanksgiving dinner, and it continued for three
days.</span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><b>A
TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING</b></span></div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Today
the traditional Thanksgiving meal is similar to the first. People eat
roast turkey with cranberry sauce, potatoes, corn and pumpkin pie.
Vegetarians don´t eat meat, but they still celebrate Thanksgiving
with other foods, such as soya products, rice, fruit, vegetables and
big salads. </span>
</div>
<div class="western" lang="es-ES" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">New
York City celebrates with Macy´s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Macy´s
department store organised its first parade in 1924. This parade is
very famous, and more than two million people go to see it every
year.</span></div>

<br />
On the second of October, we celebrated the traditional opening ceremony at the assembly hall. Here are the summaries some students wrote about it in 2nd of Bachillerato.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">SCHOOL YEAR OPENING SPEECH</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Monday, at Doctor Francisco Marín high school, it took place the school year opening speech, given by Irene Carrasco García.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She studied here nine years ago. Later, she graduated in Medicine at Seville University. Currently, she is working as an oncologist at Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In her speech, she explained the illness of cancer: What it is, how it reproduces and how to fight it. She also insisted on the importance of having healthy living habits in order to decrease the possibility of suffering from cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the end many students asked some interesting questions about the topic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Álvaro Zorrilla Carriquí. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my opinion, this lecture was really interesting, specially for me, since I want to be an oncologist in the future. It was worth watching it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alicia Jiménez Campos. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my opinion it was very practical because she showed us how to prevent the disease. Moreover, before the lecture finished, there was an intense debate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Juan Cano Jiménez. .</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She told us many interesting things, but I heard a sentence that caught my attention: "If you want to do or be something, you should chase it until you get it, this way you will never regret it".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carmen Quílez. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On February 22</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 6.6pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">nd</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Andalusia’s Day was celebrated at I.E.S. Doctor Francisco Marín in Siles with several activities related to Andalusia’s traditions.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

When that day I was told that we were going to lose three last classes, I thought: “Oh good! No classes!” Most students surely had the same thought. Nevertheless, that day I learned some facts that changed my point of view about the place where I live.</span></div>

Although the breakfast was very tasty, I have to say the size of bread wasn’t big enough for an average teenager. Then, my class went to an awards ceremony for students who had created a fictional enterprise for a contest. Winners received cool gifts such as laptops, clothes and so on.</span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Did you make any New Year’s
resolutions? To take up jogging? Stop smoking? It’s the beginning of February –
the traditional time for people to give up their new lifestyle and </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">return to their old one! Seven
out of ten adults in the UK do not do enough exercise to protect their heart,
according to statistics from the British Heart Foundation. So why not try jogging?
Experts say that jogging helps you keep fit, but should be balanced by another
form of exercise – such as pilates, yoga or swimming. This means all muscles
can be developed, and not just some. They recommend warm-up stretching
exercises first. Many sports shoes are actually not designed for running.
Leading brands such as Nike and Adidas do engineer special trainers for serious
joggers – at a price! </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">While Britain still continues
to debate a ban on smoking in public places, Spain introduced such a ban in the
workplace at the start of the year. Restaurants and bars over a certain size
must provide special ‘non-smoking areas’ within the next few months. It is
estimated that between 8 and 10 million people out of the population of 44 million
smoke. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">While smoking is popular, it
seems over 75% of Spaniards are in favour of the ban. Approximately 55,000
lives were lost to smoking last year in Spain. But will the culture of Spain’s famously
smoky bars and restaurants change forever? </span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Nowadays, the health industry
is worth millions of pounds a year. Can companies do more to help their
employees keep fit? One Dutch company keeps workers active with a 350 metre
‘internal street’,which links the office building’s ten towers. ‘Healthyhomes’
are becoming a growing trend – executives, of course, can install a home gym,
swimming pool, or even a squash court. While it costs a lot to join a fitness
club, it is quite easy toadopt a healthy lifestyle. Surely everyone can take
the stairs, or choose a healthy option in the staff canteen!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thanksgiving is a very important American festivity and it is celebrated
on <span style="color: red;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: red;">the last Thursday of November</span>. However, schools and many shops and </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">offices are closed for four days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Thanksgiving is a special day for families to be together and to thank
God </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">for all they have. Americans travel great distances to be with their
families </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">on this occasion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Why is Thanksgiving such an important day? The tradition started with
the </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Pilgrims, the founders</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "simsun"; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">of America. The
Pilgrims left Great Britain in </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">1620 because of religious persecution. They wanted to start a new life
in </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">America and practise their religion in freedom.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">One hundred men, women and children left Britain on a small ship called </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">the <b><i>Mayflower</i></b>. Their sea voyage was very difficult. Many Pilgrims died </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">during the voyage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">They arrived on the north-east coast of North America in December 1620 </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">and founded</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "simsun"; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Plymouth. The
area was a wilderness. It was almost winter </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">and they had no homes and little food.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">They immediately built small homes, But it was too late to cultivate</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "simsun"; font-size: 9.0pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">crops. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">The winter was very cold and harsh.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "simsun"; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Almost half of the Pilgrims died </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">because their living conditions were very bad.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">The friendly Wampanoag Indians helped them during the long winter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In the spring, the Pilgrims met an Indian called Squanto. He explained
how </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">to grow corn, hunt and live in the wilderness. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Soon the Pilgrims and the Indians became good friends. The Pilgrims </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">worked hard and cultivated crops. The summer harvest was excellent. By </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">November 1621 everyone had food and a home. There was hope for the </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">future.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Governor William Bradford, the Pilgrim leader, decided to celebrate with </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">a dinner for the Pilgrims and the Indians. He wanted to give thanks to
God.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This was the first Thanksgiving dinner and it lasted for three days. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Today the Traditional Thanksgiving meal is similar to the first. People
eat </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><b><span style="color: red;">roast turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie</span></b>.
Most </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">families start the meal with a prayer. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Last month, the third edition of <b><i>‘Music in Segura’</i></b> was
celebrated in our area. This is a music festival that takes place in the
picturesque small village Segura de la Sierra mixing the delicacy of the music
with an incomparable scenery. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eNffFaQu6vY/V16Kifq4qTI/AAAAAAAAA18/3qO39tNPVDY2cCNiMl35H0ZR-pXUtSLLQCLcB/s1600/musica2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eNffFaQu6vY/V16Kifq4qTI/AAAAAAAAA18/3qO39tNPVDY2cCNiMl35H0ZR-pXUtSLLQCLcB/s320/musica2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The festival was created three years ago by <b>Daniel
Broncano</b>, a clarinetist from Orcera who plays in international orchestras.
Currently, he continues organizing and improving this event but there is also
an important presence of volunteers that work for love to art. Additionally,
the project uses crowfunding in order to raise money. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This year, the activity program of <i><b>`Music in Segura’</b></i>
included classic music concerts, another types of concerts (such us flamenco,
tango or played in the countryside), singing lessons, a wine degustation, a
pedagogic performance for students. Moreover, one of the classic concerts was
the first celebrated in an olive oil factory.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bn9mZnJHdlM/V16L3c-jusI/AAAAAAAAA2U/QGRraIlp1HwgDT_HiRT69h6HZRJYp3hAwCLcB/s1600/musica4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bn9mZnJHdlM/V16L3c-jusI/AAAAAAAAA2U/QGRraIlp1HwgDT_HiRT69h6HZRJYp3hAwCLcB/s320/musica4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Around 300 people attended the concerts each day and,
with no doubt, they spent a really enjoyable experience. Many of them will surely
return to Segura de la Sierra for the fourth edition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">From my point of view, the project is a fantastic way
in order to take benefit of our touristic heritage because it combines nature
and culture perfectly. Nowadays, I think ‘Music in Segura’ is one of the most
important events in our region (many newspaper and television channels talked
about it). Furthermore, I think the project is going to continue increasing and
will be more famous and well known. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Last month it was celebrated in Segura de la Sierra one
of the most important musical, artistic and cultural events of the year, Music
in Segura.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During this week have been celebrated musical concerts
with all kinds of instruments; wind instrument, percussion, stringed...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">They performed many concerts, not just one instrument
concerts were played, but wonderful orchestras and bands also took part in the
festival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Attending events in my opinion is a form of recreating
in nature, enjoying a good atmosphere and a way of letting you move by the
beautiful of Music. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
