Every year, we celebrate many special days─Mother's Day, Father's Day, and New Year's Day. In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool's Day, and is celebrated on April 1.
Many people believe that the French started April Fool's Day. Centuries ago, New Year's Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1.
Some people did not like this, and chose to keep April 1 as New Year's Day. Many called these people 'April fools' and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.
On April Fool's Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend's clock ahead one hour, or change the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fool's Day lasts for two days. The second day is called 'Taily Day'─for one's 'tail'. On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying 'kick me' on a person's back or behind. Other countries have their own 'Fool's Day'. In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31.
In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Jokes bring about a lot of laughter, and many shouts of 'April Fool'!

参考范文：
　 Good morning, everyone! Let me introduce myself first. My name’s Li Ming. I’m a student of Class One Grade Nine, Hongxing Middle School. Do you want to know something strange that I have experienced
Yesterday morning I received an-email. It said I won the prize of a new computer. I was so excited! I gave them a call as quickly as possible. And they told me that I had to pay them two hundred yuan. I did as they told me. But two weeks later, I still haven’t received the prize. I realized that I had been cheated. I felt really sad and angry.
As a student, what should we do if we receive the information like that I think we shouldn’t believe it first. We can tell our teachers or parents about it. We can also report it to the police. We are sure the cheats will be caught and punished one day.
That’s all. Thank you.
