You just did! :-)

Abril es uno de los meses en que mas se refleja la cristianeidad del mundo. Por el simple hecho de ser el mes en que se celebra...

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes, you can start writing about the holy week and also you can say about the vacations that are took for the people around of the world, I don't know what do you need to speak about this month but I believe that there are much open field about the history of this month like that December has much religions celebrations.

I don't know about that you wanna speak in this thread but I believe that is a good start it.

[Jessica]

we just started this chapter, so I will wait until spring break ends and see what else we're going to learn. For now, I want to write about parties and celebrations. Like this:

There are many kinds of parties; dances, school parties, birthday parties, surprise parties, costume parties, and New Year Eve’s parties.

Will your teacher allow words you haven't studied yet?

[Jessica]

Hay mucho tipos de fiestas; los bailes, las fiestas de escuela, las fiestas de cumpleaños, las fiestas de sorpresa, las fiestas de disfraces y las fiestas de fin de año.

You can write about kid's day, it's next to happen in this month, because in my country the next month with celebrations is at September.

I can recommend you about the kid's day.

Mis cumpleaños es en abril. Debe es una fiesta nacional.

[CrOtALiTo]

[Jessica]

I can recommend you about the kid's day.

¿Es verdad que en Mexico se celebre un día de niños? Pensaba que todos los días están dedicados a los niños.

[CrOtALiTo]

Yes there is a day special dedicate for the children in my country In U.S.A there isn't a day like this, I know that all the days should to be special for the children but, I didn't invent the kid's day then, at April 30 is kid's day it want to say that is will be soon.

Appreciate your interesting in the question about it.

I suggest that you write about a special party for example, if you wanna write about a Mexican party then I can recommending you the Mexican night.

September 15th.

[Jessica]

I have to use words that I learned in class, like those that are in present tense. any idea on how to use them?

[Jessica]

English: I received an invitation to a birthday party for Sarah, my friend. The party will be at Andre’s house. Sarah does not know about this party. It is a surprise birthday party.

Spanish: Recibo una invitación por una fiesta de cumpleañis para Sara, mi amiga. La fiesta está a casa de André. Sara no sabe sobre este fiesta. Es una fiesta de sorpresa cumpleaños.

I'm not sure about how to give you hints, but I hope you'll find them useful.


@Poli: The celebration on April 30th, is called "Día del Niño". Like most of those "días de ___", it was made for reminding people of their rights and dignified treatment for them. The usual celebrations include giving them toys and candy, and some special activities.

oh ok thanks for the help though!
