  2. Hi teacher, I'm José (6th A)

    The answers to the following questions are:

    a) Does this tradition include masks?
    No, it doesn't include masks.

    b) Does it include a contest?
    Yes, it does. The highlight of the day is the traditional Pancake Race. During the race the runner must toss the pancake into the air and catch it in the frying-pan.

    c) Does it include aprons?
    Yes, it does. Each runner, usually wearing an apron, carries a pancake in a frying-pan.

    d) What kind of cake does it include?
    It does include pancakes, because they are a rich and fatty food. People need to eat before the period of fasting leading to Easter.

    Bye
