Hello!
Are you familiar with the concept "False Friend"? Well, in fact, the word familiar is a false friend. In Spanish, you know what it means, but in English, to be familiar with something means to have knowledge about something, to understand how something works. I'm sure you can know understand the concept False Friend.
And here is today's false friend: DEMONSTRATION.
You know what it means in Spanish, but in English (click on the question mark):

Yes. You got my point. Last Saturday's demonstration. It was amazing, great, brilliant, perfect; huge, massive, titanic, humongous.
Dozens of thousands of people marching; throngs of teachers, students, parents; swarms of fed up citizens, voicing their anger against the cuts. Yes, angry, fed up, disappointed, desperate, really pissed off...
Where you there? It definitely is a day to remember. If you weren't there, don't worry, there's more to come!!
