However, intermediate students need to know more animals than the twenty they learnt as children. Here you can practise what you learnt a long time ago and add some more new words.

Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday in Britain
Last Tuesday was Pancake Day also known as Shrove Tuesday in Britain. Pancake day is the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. 'Shrove' - as in Shrove Tuesday - stems from old English word 'shrive', meaning 'confess all sins'. It is called Pancake Day because it is the day traditionally for eating pancakes as pancake recipes were a way to use up any stocks of milk, butter and eggs which were forbidden during the abstinence of Lent.

Happy Valentine's Day
Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards,
candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine.” The day of
romance we call Valentine’s Day is named for a Christian martyr and
dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia.
