1 . For most people in the West, Valentine’s Day (情人节) is celebrated on February 14, but here in Japan it’s on March 14—exactly one month after Valentine’s Day—called White Day.
To really understand what White Day is all about, you have to understand what Valentine’s Day in Japan is like. Japanese Valentine’s Day is all about men getting presents. Japanese women are usually too shy to show their love, though it might not be true today. Valentine’s Day is a great chance to let women show their feelings. Does it sound good to you? Don’t get too excited when you get chocolate from Japanese girls! They give chocolate not only to their loved ones, but also to men such as bosses (老板) and male (男性的) friends. Men should return gifts to women on White Day.
On both days, chocolate is the gift of choice. More often, the colour of the chocolate is white because of the name of the day. You can also buy flowers, candies, or cookies.
The Japanese first celebrated White Day in 1978. Now it is also celebrated in South Korea and Taiwan, China.

5 . A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic (适当的话题). “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it..” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say you don’t say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
