How do you feel when you are fooled by others? No doubt, feel bad. There is nothing worse than falling for a joke and being a fool except one day. Yes, that's April Fool's Day. Nobody will be angry to be an " April Fool".
The headmaster at my school decided to play an April Fools' joke on the students when I was in high school. On March 31, she announced that our school would hold a "Dress to Impress" day.
Girls were told to wear formal dresses and smart jackets, while a suit jacket and tie for each boy would be best. The teachers, we were told, would do the same.
On April Fool's Day, many of us students came to school dressed in our best clothes. In the morning, all of us got together on the playground, waiting for the headmaster. She would speak to the students. Instead, she wore jeans, running shoes and a T-shirt. The teachers also got dressed casually like her.
"April Fools!" she said, with a big smile on her face. "We just wanted to remind you that teachers have a sense of humor, too!"
Surely, all the teachers weren't April Fools.
A. Our hair was tidy and all our shoes were well cleaned. B. People say something nice to others on that day. C. All us students spent the rest of the day feeling very foolish indeed. D. This meant that the better you dressed at school, the higher your marks would be. E. But everyone knows to be careful on the first day of April. F. To our surprise, she wasn't dressed up at all. G. My parents laugh at each other's jokes. |

Mother's Day is celebrated in the USA. It is also a holiday in some other countries. It is on the second Sunday in May. It is a day to thank mothers. On that day mothers usually receive flowers or cards. On the cards, children will write “Thanks, Mom”,“To the best mother in the world”,“Best wishes for Mother's Day” and so on. We should make mothers happy on that day.
Where does the idea for the holiday come from? We should thank Miss Anna M.Jarvis. She brought up the idea of having such a day. She lived in West Virginia. Her mother died on May 9th, 1905.She had a deep love for her mother. She wrote letters to some important persons. In her letters she asked them to decide a day for all mothers. Then Mother's Day was made on the second Sunday in May by the USA in 1913.
In China, children give presents to their mothers on Mother's Day, or the whole family go out and try to do something nice for their mothers. Because mothers always think of others more than themselves. They love their children and families very much. Everybody should show his love to his mother and help her as much as possible.

Do foreigners find online shopping fun or painful? Some of my foreign friends have shared their online shopping stories with me.
Ari James(the US)
One of the first things I was told about China is Taobao. When I arrived in Nanjing, it didn't take me a long time to start buying things from Taobao. I bought bags, shoes and many other things.
Christine(Australia)
I've been shopping online for nearly three years. Now I'm completely in love with Taobao. I can find almost everything I want on it. It took me a long time to get used to online shopping, since most online shops serve Chinese people. But as soon as I got the knack(诀窍), online shopping became quite easy.
Barbara Gordon(the US)
I've only used Taobao a few times. Compared with website like Amazon, Taobao is worse. You have to be very careful about what you will buy in order to avoid scams(诈骗). If Taobao can try harder to fight against online scams, it'll be more successful.
Lindy(Canada)
I can't stop shopping on Taobao! I often search for what I want through Taobao of a whole day! I'm so crazy about traditional Chinese gifts. I won't miss this year's shopping day.
