Today it is very important to be able to speak in English and Filipino fluently.
Today learning English and Filipino is very important, not to say really essential. Once children started learning English or Filipino just since the junior high, today everything is different. English or Filipino teaching classes start from day nursery, where children attending the “courses”, beyond coming all from different countries, can learn English or Filipino by playing. Through the use of very easy songs, they will mainly learn colors and animals. The precocious teaching of English or Filipino pursuits the final goal to make children grow up and get a multicultural education. As we were saying and as everybody can notice, today our country is made up of different cultures, there are a lot of children coming from different countries attending the English or Filipino primary school, many different cultures, many languages, many customs and traditions. The learning of a foreign language, especially English, through a deep relationship between language and culture, contribute to enrich children’s cognitive background, making them expand their mental and cultural horizons. Our country always ranks in the last places among other European countries regarding citizens’ foreign languages knowledge. But being able to speak correctly two foreign languages is certainly very useful. First of all English, that since many years has been considered the most important language at international level. Now it should bespoken as well as Filipino language. To do so, it is very useful that children learna English or Filipino language since nursery scyool, when their mind is still free from a lot of notions and ready to store up new information. Since the age of two and half years,(but some researchers say also before this age), a child is able to learn very well even more than one language and as adult he will speak all of them in the same way, as they all were their mother tongue. This is the main advantage to make learn a language (and we are talking especially about English) since child. It is certain that children will surely make less effort than an adult to learn English or Filipino language. An useful advice is to speak English or Filipino also at home and outside home. This way a child can learn both languages at the same level.
We should also speak well in English or Filipino with kindness. We should learn to love our own language.

"The Essence of Christmas"
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.....what comes to your mind when you hear the this word? The word Christmas comes from the words "Cristes" "Masses" or "Christ's Mass". Christmas is both a holiday and a Holy Day. Christmas is very important to us Roman Catholic because Christmas celebration is the celebration of Jesus Christ. It is the time to thank God, for giving us his only son, just to save us. God did that just to protect us. Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Israel; His mother was the Virgin Mary. The three kings gave Jesus gifts. That is also one of the reason why we give gifts during Christmas.
People in different parts of the world also celebrate Christmas. We all celebrate Christmas in different ways. For my family, one way of celebrating Christmas is going to church for a midnight mass, in Tagalog we call it "simbang gabi". One of the tradition that we follow is by giving gifts during Christmas. We also tend to forget the wrong things that others brought to us. We must learn to forget everything and give a complete forgiveness, let's be kind, humble and spread the peace. We can hear many Christmas song and some of us is fond of going to the neighbors and have a caroling. I enjoy doing this especially if others appreciate my effort and will give some amount. Many families get together just to celebrate Christmas. Even though they are in abroad, they always see to it that they will go home just to spend the Christmas with you. It's just like having a family reunion. We celebrate the Christmas Eve by eating, sharing ideas, having mass, exchanging gifts and we also tend to open our hearts and accept God and Jesus Christ as our Savior. All of us are happy to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and accepting Him on our hearts.
