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. |

What is DIY? Why do many people like it? Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax(放松) after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. "Why not make them myself?" Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. He was interested in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things by yourselves, with your own hands.
It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What's more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.
Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.
