How do you say Naipes in English?

The word is CARDS, more specifically PLAYING CARDS. The term CARD is used in many different contexts so we have Debit Cards, Credit Cards, Business Cards, Library Cards and so on. In Spanish a CARD is in all those cases una TARJETA.
Apparently, the first playing cards appeared as early as in the ninth century in China. They were, of course, quite different from the designs we see today, which are by the way not universal. Through the centuries different versions of these cards have appeared and not always their purpose has been to entertain; in fact, Tarot cards are famous because they are used by fortune tellers to find the keys of a person's future, or fortune, by interpreting the "messages" contained in the endless number of combinations that can be made when a number of those cards are set on a table.
For purposes of this article  I will refer to the playing cards more commonly used which is the French Deck of Cards (there is a German deck and also a Swiss deck with different symbols and other variations). Here are the terms in English and their meanings in Spanish.

The Maps of Ship-Trap Island

Image
Once I had my high school students read The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell. Rainsford, the main character, is a professional hunter traveling by ship to his next hunting area, accidentally ends up in an island called Ship- Trap island. When he goes into the island he finds there are two men living in a palace in the island. One of them is a Cossack general and the other, his brutish servant.  The Cossack is called general Zaroff who is also  a game hunter but has become bored of hunting regular game and now uses the island's unique position to capture sailors from shipwrecks. He lets them go first and next after some time he hunts them down. Rainford's arrival who is worldwide famous presents Zaroff with a rare opportunity to find excitement in hunting again by hunting another hunter. Little does Zaroff know that Rainsford is The Most Dangerous Game in the World and hunting him will not be easy at all. My students enjoyed themselves at reading

How do you say EXAMEN SUPLETORIO in English?

Darn! I wonder if there's a Make Up exam for this Make up exam! I remember that long ago I asked my distinguished and knowledgeable colleagues of that time to enlighten me and tell me the right English word for what we know in Ecuador as EXAMEN SUPLETORIO or EXAMEN DE RECUPERACION.  After hearing Recovery exam or Supplemenary test and even Supletory exam, I was not convinced so I decided to go to a higher authority and looked up one of those encyclopedic dictionaries from Oxford or Cambridge university (these were the pre-browser times) and found the right expression is MAKE UP EXAM which is taken when an exam has been missed or when a student needs to change one score with a more favorable one. The British say RECUPERATION EXAM which is perhaps more practical since to some people the term Make Up is confusing. Make-up is the word for the wearing of cosmetics. There are Make-up tests which are oriented to future Make-up artists.
