    Yesterday is the Father's Day.The third Sunday of June is the Father's Day. You know, the second Sunday of May is the Monther's day. So it is not surprise to us that there is also a father's day. To my part, this will be equal to our parents. Both of them have their own festival. But from another aspect, except mother's day, mum have another festival--3.8 Wonmen's Day. So it is unequal.

    Today is the April Fools' Day. There may be very much fun. It is the traditional festival in western countries. But now it is more and more populary in China and other eastern countries. On this day, young people, especially small children and students, try their best to mislead theirs compeers and eldership.

    Today is December 22nd, Winter Solstice,one of the most important Chinese traditional festivals. Untill today, I know how to say the name of the festival in English. It is "winter solstice",the Chinese meaning is "dongzhi". During the festival, the family eat the traditional food---glutinous rice cake ("ci ba" in Chinese),which is made of Rice. A kind of rice, not the kind of rice we eat everyday, it's another kind----sticky rice("nuo mi"). On this day, we also eat dumpling ("tangyuan"). Maybe different places have different custom. I just tell something that happend in my hometown.

    In ten minutes, the mid-autumn day will be ended.The zhongqiujie in 2007. The moon is not only in the sky,but also in the water. She is my beautiful wife. I beckon(招手) her when I sat on the land in the pond(池塘). But she didn't pay attention to me. I was disappointed. zhongqiujie is a traditional festival in China, and the traditional food on that day is moon cakes which are as round as the moon. Although I don't like eating them, they will appear in every family.
