Hi，I am Susan. I am from the USA. But now I'm studying in China. I'm going to do many things during(在……期间) the winter holiday. First，I'm going to finish my homework. Then I'm going to take a trip. I'm going to go to Beijing. It is the capital(首都) of China. It will be snowy in Beijing. There will be snow everywhere. So I'm going to make a snowman. My parents will come to China and go with me. We are going to fly to Beijing. We are going to have a nice trip.

    Father's Day is a very new festival in British compared with Mother's Day, which has been a very popular festival in the UK for a long time.

    Father's Day started in America. Once there was a man called William Smith, whose wife died and he had to raise six children by himself His daughter Sonaro, thought when she grew up what her lather had done for them. So she thought that there should be a Father's Day festival. Later, the tradition was born, falling on the third Sunday every June.

    Britain took the idea of Father's Day from the USA and it has been popular since then.

    What do British people do for Father's Day?

    Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. The card would have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well.

    Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if they don't want them.

    Some families might do things together to celebrate it. As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of rest--make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car to make him feel really relaxed.

    Last Sunday, my parents and I went to the countryside. My uncle lives there. There are many crops on the farm. I helped my uncle water them. And we picked some vegetables, too. We cooked lunch with them.

    They were fresh. The food was very delicious. In the afternoon, we planted some trees near the village. I felt very hot and tired, but I was very happy. I drank some fresh juice. We went home by bike in the evening. I had a great day in the countryside.

    My name is Tom. I am twelve years old. I come from London. I'm tall and strong. I like Chinese food very much. It is very delicious. I often have noodles and beef. I can't cook the meals, so I always have meals at school. My favourite food is beef and potatoes. They are delicious. I also like Beijing Roast Duck very much. I can have it in the restaurant. Li Ming is my best friend. He often invites me to his home to have dinner.

    Some students are not happy today. Amy is angry, because she can't go to the park and have a picnic on the weekend. What should she do? She should take a deep breath and count to ten. Tony wants to be strong, but he is thin now. So he should do more exercise. What's wrong with Mary? She is ill. She should see a doctor. And John thinks he gets a cold. He should wear warm clothes.
