    Do you know how the kids in different countries spend their holidays in spring?

    In China, when spring comes, students have difficulty sitting quietly. They want to be outside. Teachers know this. In spring, schools usually organize a spring outing for kids. It might be a trip to a mountain. But typically, teachers take kids to a martyrs' park (烈士陵园).They can show their respect(敬意)for those who lost their lives in war. And also they can enjoy spring.

    In Japan, things are a little different. The school year begins in April. In some parts of the country, the first day of school is also the start of the cherry blossom (樱花)season.这是一年中孩子们旅行的最佳时间。People go to parks early in the morning with their family and friends.

    UK children have many great choices when it comes to school trips. They can visit the seaside, or a theme park. They can look around a castle or a stately home (庄园). One special place to go is a wetland and bird center. The kids spend time in a beautiful place and also learn about the natural world. The people at the center are scientists. This means they're able to teach kids about the knowledge of nature. They also find out how some animals today are in danger.

    I can still remember my first day at school. I was only 6 years old at that time. It was a very big room. I sat at the desk near the window, but I couldn't see anything because the window was too high. There was a big map of the world on the wall and an old blackboard. I don't think I was worried or afraid at that time. There was another little boy next to me. He sat there and kept silent at first. Then he began to cry, because he didn't want to stay there.

    More and more students came in, but the boy didn't stop crying. "Mom, I want to go home." He cried again and again. Later, the teacher came in. She went to the little boy, and said something to him. I couldn't hear what she said. Soon the boy stopped crying and began to smile. To this day, I still don't know what the teacher said to the little boy.
