Well, what can I say about these hoaxes. I hate being conned and never do this to the others. Honestly It's very popular day in my country. They love all kind of jokes. At least they call it jokes. English you have a certain name for these kinds of ''jokes'' or tricks. '' Hoaxes. I can't understand why should we hoodwinck other people? And how can the people enjoy the otheres making them conned... |

Well In fact itīs a very nice essay and I have learnt a lot of new vocabulary which I thankyou. Let me tell you that in my country Colombia) that date is unknown, but we oftenly do these childish pranks on December 28, this day is called the innocent day nad it comes from the Bible, it reffers that on that date were killed many children, but now all around the country we use to do this pranks and the TV news show all the embarrassing situations all their staff have suffered during or previous the recording of those news.

Hello everybody, I like the story in the way you narrate, and also that you use a diversity of words, so the story could be seen as enriched in vocabulary as well as in caption the attention of students. Thanks again, I'm at least waiting for more other stories so keep it well! Mihaela |

Hi Mona,
Glad you liked the essay. 'Trooped out' means 'walked out in a large group'. 'Caught out' means 'tricked'.
