HANDOUT BUM TOPIC 25(B) THE FORGETFUL MAN
You know?, I love the distribution of holidays in the Chilean calendar. There are more than ten days for us to stay home and sleep late! The month I like the most is August, because we celebrate our Independence Day on the 15 th. However, the 16 th is also a holiday. It is Armed Forces Day. There is a beautiful parade in the National Stadium and everybody has Christmas cake and cola de mono. February is also interesting since Christmas falls on the 20 th . Remember that this celebration comes after February 1 st, New Years Day. March, April, and May are wonderful months. Most people take their vacation and enjoy the best of the summertime. They can take their children with them because school starts at the end of May. On the other hand, holidays in Chile are very much related to religious festivities. For instance, in July we celebrate Easter, October brings All Saints Day, which is on the 3rd. November brings St. Peter and St. Paul, and so on. As you can see, there is plenty of time to relax during the year. I particularly like this because my memory is not very good. I really need to get a break from work once in a while. Dont you agree?

BUM

A REMARKABLE PARTY
You are having the most remarkable party in history! By suspending time, you are able to invite any 12 people, dead or alive, to the party. Which 12 people would you choose? CONSIDER: 1. 2. It is not necessary that you invite important people. You can choose someone who is interesting for other reasons. Perhaps you would like to establish a theme for the evening. One group of guests would like to have fun, another group of guests would like to discuss interesting philosophical questions. Remember that the guests you invite may depend upon the theme. For example, you would not want to invite people who might hate each other to an evening of fun and relaxation. Choose at least two people who are not in the list. Here is a list of possible guests:
