“I just gave birth to 5 babies last weekend.” Isn’t that exciting? Oh, you don’t believe me? “Okay then, I stole some money from a bank on Saturday night.” Now do you believe me? Actually, I hope you don’t. April1st, or April Fool’s Day is the day when we play jokes on people. Do you have it in your country?
April Fool’s Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year’s Day was celebrated on April 1st. If they were teased, they were called fools.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his coffee “by accident”. Or someone might change the time on another person’s alarm clock so that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
After we play the trick, we say “April Fool”. Then the poor person realized he was fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn’t cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on anyone today? Try it out.

I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one class was the most important.
It happened last term after I had got a bad result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided to go to a class which can tell me how to be successful.
The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking like a teacher. Instead, he held up a 20 yuan note!
“Who wants this?” he asked. Unsurprisingly, everyone in the class held up their hands.
The speaker smiled. Then he stuck the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we all put up our hands. The teacher smiled again but did not say anything. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same question a third time.
I didn’t understand what the speaker was doing. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I wanted the note, so I put my hand up again. Suddenly, the speaker started to laugh. Then he picked up the note. “You have all just told me how to become successful,” he said.
“The note is worth 20 yuan. It is always worth 20 yuan, even if I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter what happens to you, you still have your worth. If you realize that, and believe in yourself, you will be successful!”
When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I realized I was worth a lot. I may have done badly in an exam, but it doesn’t mean I can’t do well in the future.

My Most Unlucky Day
Today is my most unlucky day. I kept on watching an interesting TV play last night and didn’t go to bed until 12 o’clock. And my alarm clock didn’t go off in the morning.
So I got up quite late. After I got up，I found my parents had gone to work，and they didn’t buy breakfast for me. When I hurried to the bus stop without breakfast，the bus had already gone. So I had to run to school. When I reached school，I heard our English teacher had begun his class. After I sat down on my chair, I realized that I had left my school bag at home. At noon when I got ready to have lunch, I found that I hadn’t taken any money with me. When I got home in the afternoon after school, I couldn’t find my key to the door, because I had left it in the desk.
What an unlucky day!
