I think it is important to tell students some information about English speaking countries traditions and history. Thanks the American movies many people know about 4th July and Thanksgiving. Unfortunately in many cases they have no idea why are those days important.
Today I want to mention Remembrance Day. If you watched the news this week you must have seen David Cameron wearing a poppy on his suit. "It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918 (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice)" Wikipedia.
So if you are going to be in Commonwealth 11th November don't be surprised about two minutes silence at 11 am.
