Our school plans many activities to celebrate the World Earth Day. The date of our activities is on Saturday, April 24. We hope every student volunteers to take part in the activities. You can choose one thing or more to do on that day. Here is the information: ◆Save water and electricity. ◆Plant trees in the gardens or parks. ◆Clean up the parks with your classmates. ◆Go on foot instead of taking cars, buses, or taxis. ◆Hand out notices about environmental protection. ◆Go through a day without TV programs, computers, or mobile phones.

Do you miss the great snacks you had when you were a kid? Do they help you remember your happy childhood?
Sugar Figures | In the old days, there were always some people making sugar figures at the school gate. The maker would take a little maltose (麦芽糖) with a small spoon and draw a figure such as the Monkey King and the White Dragon. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for each. |
Bubble Gum | Almost every kid loves bubble gum and kids often gathered together to see who got the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke! Her face was covered with gum. It was cheap. I could get two for 1 yuan. |
Baby Face Ice Cream | It tastes delicious but a little expensive. I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece which was not easy for me to buy those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days. |
Malt Sugar Candy | Malt sugar candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival. It's delicious and cheap, and you could get five pieces for 1 yuan. My friends and I often shared Tangguar with each other in the past. |
