Have you ever heard of “Buy Nothing Day” Do you think you can't spend a coin on that day This holiday encourages people to stop buying things. It began in the 1990s in Vancouver, Canada. It was the idea of a man named Kalle Lasn. After making ads for many years, Lasn began to question the ways ads influenced people.
Lasn knows that people need to buy things. They have to buy things to eat, live and even enjoy life. But Lasn believes that many ads encourage people to buy far more than necessary. He thinks it hurts people and culture.
Lasn tries to help people understand some of the false values and ideas behind advertising. The main value he fights is the idea that “You must buy more to be happy”. Encouraging people to celebrate “Buy Nothing Day” is one idea he came up with.
“Buy Nothing Day” is celebrated on the fourth Friday of every November. Lasn chose this day for a very important reason. It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Advertisers call this day Black Friday.
The first “Buy Nothing Day” was celebrated in Canada in 1992. Many other countries also have growing problems with too much buying. Now, over sixty different countries, including the USA, the UK, Germany, France, and Japan, are celebrating “Buy Nothing Day”.
Some people don't believe “Buy Nothing Day” can really change culture. “It is only one day,” they say. Other people say that consumers should not just cut down their shopping quantity(数量), but also increase their shopping quality. These people encourage consumers to buy things made in environment - friendly ways.
But “Buy Nothing Day” does make people think about the bad influences of buying too much.

There are so many well - known and interesting festivals around the world. Let's learn something about them.
a
Teachers' Day is an important holiday in China, and it has been around for thousands of years in some ways! In ancient China, people celebrated a similar holiday on the birthday of Confucius. All teachers had a day off and received dried meat as gifts. Excellent teachers were also given silver coins. Modern Teachers' Day in China was set up by the government in 1985. One of the most popular Teachers' Day celebrations is visiting the school which the students graduated(毕业)from. This tradition allows students who have already graduated to express thanks to their teachers. b
September 1st is the perfect day for people to pick up a pen and paper, to write a letter to someone because it's World Letter Writing Day. The holiday is created to keep the art of letter writing alive in our digital age(数码时代). Handwriting is an important skill you shouldn't lose, because writing by hand excites your brain in a different way and improves your reading skills. How do we celebrate this day The best way is to write a letter to someone. It could be a friend or a relative who lives miles away, or someone you have lost touch with for a while. Whatever you do, please know that letter writing is still worthwhile.

The Haro Wine (葡萄酒) Festival in Spain is full of fun. It dates back to the 13th century. During the festival, the wine fight begins early in the morning. People bring buckets, water guns and anything that can be filled with red wine, and they throw the wine at their friends or strangers. Everyone should wear a white shirt during the “fight”, because it is easily stained(染色). The “fight” will last for several hours until everyone's shirt becomes bright purple.
