BREAK A LEG

"Break A Leg"

Today you are going take an exam.  As you are heading to the classroom one of your friends texts you on your phone.  The text message says "break a leg!"  You may wonder "Why would my friend send me a message like that?  Why does he wants me to hurt myself?"  Of course your friend does not want you to break a leg bone in the classroom.  If someone tells you to "Break a leg" it really means good luck!

 "I hear you have a big interview for a job with Google today.  Break a leg!"

 "I know you are giving a speech in front of the whole class today.  I just wanted to tell you -  break a  leg!"

 "I heard that you are finally going to ask the girl you like out on a date today.  Break a leg!"

Harvest Festival

Harvest Festival

Every year in UK it is celebrated a Harvest Festival in schools and churches. Do you know why?

Harvest Festival is a celebration of the food grown on the land.

Thanksgiving ceremonies and celebrations for a successful harvest are both worldwide and very ancient. In Britain, people have given thanks for successful harvests since pagan times. They celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as 'Harvest Festival', usually during the month of September.

Harvest festivals are traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon. This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox (about September 23). In two years

BOXTOPS

"BOXTOPS"

A boxtop, is the upper portion of a product box, detached, and mailed as part of a claim for a radio premium or other advertising offer. During the 1930s through 1950s, cereal boxtops were usually the most common proofs of purchase used to claim such premiums. (UPCs, which debuted in the 1960s, later served this purpose.)
Popular cereal boxtops of the period were Wheaties, which sponsored Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy; Kellogg's Pep, which sponsored The Adventures of Superman; Ralston-Purina, which sponsored Tom Mix Ranston Straight Shooters; and various General Mills, particularly Cheerios and Kix, which sponsored The Lone Ranger.
General Mills (which now also owns the cereal assets of Ralston-Purina) currently markets its boxtop redemption program toward educational institutions; the program is currently known as Box Tops for Education.
