Interesting festivals in the world

Rolling cheese-England This festival is celebrated on the last Monday in May. It takes place on Cooper's Hill. A large wheel of cheese(奶酪)is rolled down Cooper's Hill. The festival is actually a race where people run down the hill after the rolling cheese. The first person to cross the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. |

Burning man-The United States The Burning Man Festival lasts a week, it is from the Monday before labor Day to Labor Day(which falls on the first Monday in September in America).

Pouring water-Thailand
The Songkran Festival is the celebration of the New Year in Thailand. Rather than a single day. Thailand celebrates the New Year from April 13th to April 15th.

I'm Patrick McCarthy, and you can call me Pat. This is the space where I can help you with your daily life problems. Go ahead and ask away!
Dear Patrick, Every time I look through my phone, I see someone having the time of their life. When I miss out on something fun or important that my friends are experiencing, I feel worried. How can I avoid this? Sarah |
Hi! Sarah, This is a big reason why so many people worry about social media's influence on teenagers. Feeling worried and lonely as a result of looking through your phone is quite normal, even if it is unhealthy. Quite a lot of people post their pictures or videos on social media. Most of them share the best parts of their lives. You must keep in mind that they do so to share good feelings with others. It's hard to find people sharing their bad moments, like feeling stressed about their home life or shame after failing a test. If seeing these videos and photos still causes bad feelings, stop connecting for a while. Do something that makes you pleased and relaxed. Try to read or spend some time with your family. You don't need to impress anyone else. Pat |
