April Fool´s Day

April Fool's Day is "observed" in most Anglo Saxon countries always on April 1st. 
It is not a holiday in any of those countries, however, there are ways to "celebrate" it.  The most usual way is by playing practical jokes on other people, or better said, on one another (the term practical joke indicates the joke is physical in nature and not written or verbal). After someone falls into that joke it is common that the one who created the joke shows up calling his or her victim: "April Fool!"
There is nothing certain on how the tradition originated but many believe it stems from some Roman festival (one of the many Romans had), a time when the common Roman, or plebeian, along with the high class, celebrated impersonating other people, or having fun according to their conception of what having fun was.
Spanish speaking countries have a similar tradition only on a different date: December 28th. It is called Día de Los Santos Inocentes. Though jokes are not so ellaborate as the April Fool's jokes still the custom of calling the victim something is the same. 
We say: "¡Pobre Inocente!"

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.
