April Fools' Day
If you like to play tricks on people, then you'll love April Fools' Day. It's a fun day for millions of people around the world.
On this day, people try to trick each other. For example, you could tell your friends that all classes have been canceled. Or you could put a plastic insect in somebody's drink!
Some people play bigger tricks, though. In 1957, a British TV show told a story about spaghetti trees. After this, hundreds of people thought that it was possible to grow spaghetti on trees!
April Fools' Day began in France five centuries ago. Back then, the New Year began on April 1st. The king moved the New YEar to January, but many people didn't know this.
Years later, some people still celebrated the New Year on April 1st. These people were called "April fools." People often played tricks on these "fools" to make them look sillier.
Today, April 1st is still a day for tricks. Some people won't believe any interesting news that's broadcast on April 1st. After all, nobody wants to be a fool!

Dear Julie:
I am Siou Fang. I want to post it 4/16 homework.
My favorite restaurant is "Sea Moon" at present. I like it because I like to eat Japanese food.
They have many kind of Japanese foods. You can order to any Japanese foods on the menu. Everyone wants to three hundred ninety-nine dollars in lunch time. It's cheap in that Japanese food.
I usually have sashimi, sush, etc. It's a good place for conversation because there are many drinks to select. But don't eat to long the meal time only two hours. You have to control meal time.
I did not remember that any music. In fact, I have only been there once. I seldom with my friends went to there because I don't like eating to much and the restaurant far away to me.
I think that Sea Moon restaurant will be a very good choice to the person who likes Japanese food.
Dear Siou Fang, you did a great job. There are only few mistakes. Check them out!!
