Easter is a festival to celebrate the rebirth after the cold winter. We can see lots of symbols of new life on Easter, like eggs, chicks and rabbits.
Unlike Christmas, Easter isn't on the same date each year. It is on the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox(春分). People in the UK have a holiday which is almost as long as the Christmas holiday. It's a public holiday. Everyone looks forward to their Easter break because it's a moment to relax, have a short holiday or visit family and friends.
For most England children, Easter means chocolate eggs. Shops are full of chicks, rabbits and flowers. They sell a lot of chocolate eggs. Ninety million chocolate eggs are sold in the UK each year, and each child gets on average(平均) eight chocolate eggs that day. Most doctors advise people to eat Easter eggs in moderation(适度)．
On Easter Day, people paint on eggs to give others as presents. And they always hide eggs for children to find. Some places even hold competitions to see who can roll an egg down a hill without breaking it!

Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our life．
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past.Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane and we can take many other fast and comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines. Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending e-mails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online.
Thanks to the developing technology, especially the Internet, our life has become much easier and happier than before.
