Different people have different dreams. Read the following to learn about these students’ dreams.

Susan I always want to be a Chinese teacher for English students. I can teach them Chinese so that they can enjoy Chinese stories and poems (诗歌). They can also become interested in visiting China and know our country better. Becoming a Chinese teacher for English students is not easy. It takes lots of time and hard work. I hope I will go to college (大学) and make my dream come true someday. Jack My dream is to become a great doctor, to help those sick people and save their lives. I hope everyone can get well without having to pay much. To be a doctor, I need to learn a lot of things. I am good at English and Maths. I will work harder and I think my dream will come true. Anna I love to become a fashion designer. Fashion designing is so much fun. With different colors and materials to choose from, I can design all kinds of clothes for people. But of course, as a designer, it is important to have my own special styles. I believe if I work hard enough, my design will be popular around the world. David My dream is to be a policeman. Some people think a policeman has to be tall and strong, but I think the most important thing is that a policeman wants to help those people who can’t protect (保护) themselves. I will learn all kinds of knowledge (知识) to become a great policeman.

Tomb Sweeping Day, or Qingming, is often at the beginning of April.

The traditional activity is ancestor worship（祭祖）. It is there for a long time from old times. People clean and sweep the graves（坟墓）of their ancestors. At the same time, they bring offerings（供品）of food, like fruits, sweets, wine and meat. They also bring other offerings, like “ghost money”（冥币）.

People fly kites during Tomb Sweeping Day too. In the past, people cut the kite line and let the kite fly away. People believed that it could take away bad luck.

During Tomb Sweeping Day, children love playing on the swings（秋千）best. Playing on the swings has a long history and started in the north of China. It is also an activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Tomb Sweeping Day is the Ghost Festival, so people put willow branches（杨柳枝）on the door to ward off evil spirits（辟邪）when willows sprout.

Then, Qingming is also a good time for people to plant trees and go for a walk in the country in spring. Both the sun and the spring rain make it wonderful to plant trees and go for a walk.
