Valentine's Day(情人节) is on February 14th every year. On this day, people send valentines(情人卡)to their loved ones, Valentine's Day is a special time to tell how much you care about a person.
Many people send candy in hearted shaped("心"状的)boxes to people they love. Flowers are also presents that people send on Valentine's Day. Valentine cards with words are often used by many people.
Can you guess who gets the greatest number of Valentine cards in the United States each year? Is it mother or father, sister or brother? Is it uncle or aunt? Is it the special friend? No, it isn't!
Mothers get a lot of cards, but school teachers get the most each year. Do you know who sends the most? Children do. Children send five times as many on February 14th as adults do.

    There is one word you must learn before you visit the USA. That is “Freeze”. Remember it has a special meaning besides the usual one. It means “stand still and don't move”. Often policemen use it when they are ready to use their guns. If one doesn't obey the order and moves, he or she will be shot to death.
    One evening in Los Angeles, someone rang the bell of a house. It was a dangerous area at night, so the owner of the house took his gun with him when he answered the door. He opened the door and saw a strange man. But the man turned round and started walking away from the house. The owner cried: “Freeze”, but the young man went on walking without obeying the owner's order. The owner thought he was trying to run away, so he shot at the young man and he was killed.
    Later, police found that the dead man was a Japanese student who was studying in Los Angeles University. He went to visit a friend, but unluckily could not remember the number of the house. When he realized he went to the wrong house he turned round and left. He didn't know much English and so didn't understand the word “Freeze”. What a lesson we should get for this!

White Day(白色情人节) is a holiday celebrated on March 14th，one month after Valentine's Day(情人节). In Japan this day is widely celebrated，much like Valentine's Day. It is also celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan，China.

In Japan，the difference between Valentine's Day and White Day is about who gives the gifts. In these cultures，women present chocolates to men as gifts on Valentine's Day. One month later，men should buy two to three times more expensive gifts for the women on White Day. Candy，handmade cookies and white chocolate are popular gifts. Do you want to say "I love you. " to someone you care about? No worries if you have missed Valentine's Day. March 14th is White Day. It is also Japan's Valentine's Day—a day to show our loved ones just how much we care about them.

Yet it is not clear where White Day came from. Some local candy makers say that they invented the day to give candy，in response to(回应) Valentine's Day. As most candy is made of white sugar，the day is called White Day. People also think that the color white stands for purity(纯洁) and love.
