10 What's That?

What is an Easter bonnet? Well, a “bonnet” is an old word for a kind of hat. Women like to buy a new hat every spring; this is their “Easter bonnet”.

Some women make their own Easter bonnets. The seaside town of Morecambe ['mɔːkəm] in northwest England has an Easter Bonnet Parade ['pə'reid] every year. There are prizes ['praɪzɪz] for the biggest and prettiest hats! The hats are decorated with flowers and ribbons.

What is a shower? Well, if the sun is shining, then some small clouds come, and it rains for ten minutes, then it stops raining, and the sun shines again — that is a shower! So, when April comes, people usually carry an umbrella: a lot of showers can make you wet, and there are always showers in April!

What's hurling? It is a very old Irish game which is only played in Ireland.

There are fifteen players in each team. Each player has a stick, called a hurley, which he uses to hit or carry the ball. It is like the game which English schoolchildren play — hockey — but it is much more dangerous and much more exciting!

What is tulip time? It is May. Every year, in May, the town Spalding ['spɔ:ldɪŋ] in Lincolnshire1 hangs banners out in the streets. It is tulip time and Spalding is right in the middle of the tulip-growing part of England. Here the land is so flat that it is called “Holland”. The yellow, red, pink, purple and orange fields of flowering tulips stretch for miles.

What's the Derby?2 It is one of the most famous horse races in Britain. The first Derby took place in May 1780. The race is named after Lord Derby who started it in 1780 with another man, Sir Charles Bunbury. The race is a mile-and-a-half long and takes place in Surrey.2

So May is Derby month and, therefore, a very important month in the British calendar. Everyone who goes to watch the horse race wears their best clothes and looks very smart.

What is a job? Do you know what a job is? Look at the people in the pictures. They are doing different jobs. Why are they doing jobs? Well, because they all want to earn money! The Beefeater’s job, for example, is to look after the Tower of London. The carpenter’s job is to make tables and chairs. The bus driver’s job is to drive a bus. When students leave school, they will have a job. If they pass their exams, they will have a good job; if they don’t pass their exams, they will have a bad job.

People can do different jobs. Musicians play musical instruments, nurses look after you in hospitals, teachers teach you in school, ballet dancers dance to give you pleasure, policemen take people to prison if they break the law, builders build houses, firemen put out fires.
