En Japón, para muchos la Navidad es sinónimo de comer pollo frito en la cadena de comida rápida KFC. Fue hace casi 40 años cuando, en medio de una campaña de marketing, el Coronel Sanders invitó a los japoneses a comprar su pollo frito como cena para la Navidad

In this brief text about the War of the roses you can see some words of the vocabulary of this unit in contex.
This is also a background for the excersise on page 23.
You can have a look at the grammar of the unit in the web links or the videos below.
One of the most distinctive and unmistakable flowers in England is the
Tudor Rose. This specific type of rose is both red (around the outside)
and white (in the centre), and has been in use as the country’s plant
emblem since the Tudor Era. But there is more to the Tudor Rose than
meet the eye. The flower is not just a sight for sore eyes – it is a
representation of the merging of two warring houses, and the end of
years of conflict
It was under these circumstances that Richard, Duke of York, a descendant
of Edward III’s fourth son, Edmund of Langley, claimed the
throne. The Duke had a powerful ally in Richard Neville, the Earl of
Warwick, and together with their armies, the two of them marched into
London to overthrow the mad King Henry. This was the beginning of a
Civil war between the two greatest factions in England – the House of
Lancaster and the House of York.
The years of armed conflict, sometimes known as the Cousins’ War (owing
to the fact that both Richard, Duke of York, and King Henry VI were
directly descended from Edward III and therefore cousins), are most
commonly known as the Wars of the Roses.
