Family life in Britain

I have just read an article in my english book. I thought you might be interested because it talks about family life in Britain. In Britain, there are more single people than married people. Basically what it says is that people aren't married when they get children. It is also mentioned that people generally get married at a later age now. What surprised me most was that most women are more concentrated on their jobs and put off having a baby until their late thirties. In Austria, I think that the most parents are married. I do not know a lot of people who are not married and they have children. But it is very different in every part of Austria.

Zodiac Sign

My zodiac sign is Taurus. It is almost true that I am stubborn, but not all the time. I have long, a bit curly hair. I am not small, but also not tall. I am not plump, but also not slim. If you want to know more about me, ask in comments.

Guy Fawkes Day and Halloween

In the last english lesson we talked about Halloween and Guy Fawkes Day. Now I will tell you something about it: Guy Fawkes Day is on the 5th of November. Guy Fawkes made an unsucessful blow up in Britain, in London, in the year 1605. Every year the people in Britain celebrate this day. They make fireworks and bonfires. There are a lots of accidents every year. The TV and radio ask people to take Special care of animals and children.   Halloween is on the 31st of October. All most children dress up as witches or ghosts. They go from house to house and ask for candies. when they don't get some, they sometimes play a trick on them.
