Students work on idioms where fruit or vegetables are named. They try to find the same idiom in English, French and Spanish (if not they can translate it).

The Scientific Truth of Idioms, Sayings and Proverbs on Fruit and Vegetables

We're from a city called Zaragoza. It's in the north-east of Spain. It's between Madrid and Barcelona. It's close to the Pyrenees. We've just celebrated the Festival of our female Patron Saint (la Virgen del Pilar) on 12th October. We aslo celebrate the Day of Hispanity because Cistoforo Colombo arrived to America on that that. People usually enjoy having traditional Aragonese food that week.
