¡Hola amigos!
Today I am going to talk about the Mexican revolution.
It’s celebrated on twentieth November. It’s a Mexican tradition to celebrate this day because Mexican people started a revolution against their President. His name was Don Porfirio Diaz. He governed for more than thirty years! When he was a soldier he said that it isn’t right to be reelected. But when he got the power, I mean that when he became the president, he reelected himself as President for many times. He told the poor people to elect him as president or he would make bad things to their family.
Some men stood against him were Don Francisco Ignacio Madero, Don Venustiano Carranza, Don Emiliano Zapata, Francisco o Pancho Villa and Alvaro Obregon. Francisco I. Madero and his companions formed an army to fight this revolutionary war on 20th of November, 1910. So that’s why the Mexican people celebrate this day as Día de la Revolución Mexicana.
In this day there are desfiles (parades) in the city and there are kermés (parties) in the school too. This year in my school we danced, sang songs, played cascarones (decorated eggs filled with confetti & breaking it over the heads of friends) & ate many kinds of food. But unfortunately it rained, so everybody went home early.
P.S. I have seen Harry Potter & Goblet of Fire movie on 17th midnight. It was a surprise. I liked it very much. I will write about that & the movie in my next blog.

S: The President must have been very bad for the people of the entire nation turned against him.. History is full of such examples. and Yes.. you are giving all of us here some new information.. and i like it too.
There is a book - a compilation of letters written by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India to his daughter, Indira. Indira was thirteen years old and Nehru was in prison during these pre-independance days. The book title is Glimpses of the world History.. ask your daddy more about it. It would make an intresting reading. I think your father has a copy of it.
We all are very eagerly awaiting your review of Harry potter.
