She's got everything; brains, beauty, money,... and oh, yes, a wonderful personality; she's a real catch.


Do you understand what a real catch means?


It's what we call in Catalan "un bon partit"

SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY





Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day,is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

DON'T GET ME WRONG!

Do you know what a ball is?

I'm sure you do. Do you know what on the ball stands for?


Can you guess it from this example?

- Make sure the kids are ready to leave by half-past seven.
- They will be. The alarms are set, the bags are packed, and they're going 
to bed especially early.
- Good to see you're on the ball

On the ball means "to be alert", did you guess it?
