  1. 1-No, I did not know who it was.
    2-This day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918.
    3-Because it's the day when it's supposed to be a time of suffering and pain because of the war.

  2. 1.-I didn`t know anythig about te poppy day before seeing the video.
    2.-Because the World War 1 (or The Great War) ended that day, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
    3.-Because is a day when british people pay tribute to those who participated in the war, all the people who died or got hurt and also the people who came back due to their post-traumatic stress.

  3. 1. No, I didn’t know anything about Poppy Day before we talking about it in class.
    2. Poopy Day is celebrated on November 11th because the 11th November 1918 at 11 o’clock in the morning the First World War ended.
    3. I think that the Remembrance Day is an important day for the British because they remember all the people who died or also the people who participated in the First World War.
