ENGLISH. HOW TO MAKE PANCAKES.
What is Shrove Tuesday?
Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday. The name Shrove comes from the old middle English word 'Shriven' meaning to go to confession to say sorry for the wrong things you've done.
Lent always starts on a Wednesday, so people went to confessions on the day before. This became known as Shriven Tuesday and then Shrove Tuesday.
The other name for this day, Pancake Day, comes from the old English custom of using up all the fattening ingredients in the house before Lent so that people were ready to fast during Lent. The fattening ingredients that most people had in their houses in those days were eggs and milk. A very simple recipe to use up these ingredients was to combine them with some flour and make pancakes.
The custom of making pancakes still continues today, and in many U.K. towns and villages pancake races (where people race with a frying pan while tossing a pancake in it!) and pancake tossing competitions are held on Shrove Tuesday.
In other countries, Shrove Tuesday is known as 'Mardi Gras'. This means 'Fat Tuesday' in French and also comes from the idea of using up food before Lent.
Many countries around the world have Mardi Gras celebrations and carnivals. Some of the most famous are Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, New Orleans in the U.S.A., Venice in Italy and Sydney in Australia
When is Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday?
Pancake Day takes place 47 days before Easter Sunday. Because the date of Easter Sunday is dictated by the cycles of the moon, Pancake Day can occur anytime between February 3 and March 9. This year's batter action takes place on Tuesday, February 28th 2022.

ENGLISH. SONG: WALKING IN THE JUNGLE.
ENGLISH. IN THE RAINFOREST : A POEM.
Living in the jungle is a wonderful thing
Hear the lions roar,
See chimpanzees swing,
Slithering boas coil around a tree,
Boy am I glad they don't follow me!
It's so hot in the jungle,
But morning time brings pouring rain.
I'm impatient, I just can't wait,
Until the sun comes shining again!
Jungle Fever!
I've got
Jungle Fever!
Living in the jungle is such a blast,
Feel the earth move when elephants pass.
Crocodiles and hippos bathe in the sun,
Don't they look like they're having fun?
Feel the heat of the jungle,
Clap your hands and sing this song.
It's a party, let's have some fun,
So jump right in and join along.
Jungle Fever!
I've got
Jungle Fever!
