Fíjese que algunas prendas de ropa en inglés solo pueden ser usadas en plural,
normalmente las que se usan sobre las dos piernas (jeans, trousers, knickers,
pants...) y el calzado es plural si nos referimos a ambos pies (a boot, boots). En plural
nunca ponemos a/an.
Con la ropa y accesorios usamos el verbo wear (llevar puesto). Ej.: I usually wear
trousers.
Sin embargo, con complementos que llevemos con las manos, por ejemplo, bag,
usamos carry (llevar con la mano).

The 4th July is America’s birthday! It is Independence Day in the United States.
In the past, American colonies were part of England. But on the 4th July, 1776, the colonies
declared their independence from England. It is the day when the American government
signed the Declaration of Independence.
All around the country people fly the US flag from their windows or in their gardens to show
their patriotism. They celebrate the country’s independence and freedom. They celebrate the 4th July with
barbecues and picnics during the day. Independence Day is in summer, so people can eat outdoors. Americans
eat hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, potatoes, corn on the cob and coleslaw (carrots and cabbage in
mayonnaise). For dessert, they eat apple pie, flag cakes or watermelon.
After dinner, they watch the [Link] are also military parades in the streets and
free concerts. Bands play the American anthem: “The Star Spangled Banner”.
The tradition of celebrating America’s birthday with parades, picnics and fireworks
started in the late 1700s. The US government declared the 4th July a national holiday
in 1870. Today it is still one of the biggest celebrations in the USA.

The Notting Hill Carnival is London’s biggest street festival and one of the most famous
carnivals in the world. Its name comes from the area in West London where it takes
place. The carnival is an important cultural event for London’s Afro Caribbean community
and a celebration of multicultural British life. This event is celebrated every year on the
last weekend of August, it lasts two days (Sunday and Monday) and it attracts more than
two million people from all over the world.
The carnival tradition begins in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and it symbolises the emancipation of slaves.
But London has its first Notting Hill Carnival in 1964. The carnival starts as a local
Afro Caribbean festival organised by London’s West Indian community, but these
days many cultures take part in this festival.
There are about 40 sound stages at the carnival, with different kinds of music
(from soca and calypso to reggae and R&B) and many local organizations and
groups build floats and join in with the processions and parades.
The Notting Hill Carnival also features hundreds of food stalls with Caribbean food and drink (jerk chicken, rice, peas
and rum punch).
