Guy Fawkes


I'd like to tell you about the nursery rhymes. These words are used in Battle Bonfire Boys who carry on the tradition of bonfire at their annual event in Sussex. They have honour of the longest countinuous Guy Fawkes bonfire celebration in the world.
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder treason and plot
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

Guy Fawkes, guy t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow

By god's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burnig match
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king

And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!

This nursery rhyme, the Gunpowder Plot is introduced early into the young minds of children throughout the United Kingdom.

Spring Season


There are four distict sasons in Jpan. I'm going to introduce about spring season. When winter is over, it gets warmer little by little and spring comes together with cherry blossoms blooming out. Many people go out for a walk to see the cherry blossoms. Cherry blossom is a national flower in Japan. It is a custom for many Japanese people to sit under the cherry blossoms and eat lunch, snacks and just enjoy the view with friends, family and colleagues. In many places, cherry blossoms are illuminated so that you will also see many people under the trees even at night. Try and find your own favorite cherry blossom viewing spot.
