Last weekend, my class participated in a unforgettable picking event on a farm.
Surrounding by hills, the farm looked like a giant park, with sweet flowers, tasty fruits or singing birds. In arrival, we were warmly welcomed by some farmers. We quickly set out pick some peaches and oranges. Some fruits hung so high that we had to work together to pick it. It proved the power of teamworks. Then, an expert gives us a lecture on how to plant fruits properly. We learned a lot from the lecture.
How a significant and rewarding event it was! We couldn’t be more happier!

6 . Some people take their holiday decoration very seriously. And some take it to the next level. The Griffith family in Kenova, West Virginia, is in this camp. They put on a display that shows they’re just filled with Halloween spirit.
Each year, this family displays 3,000 pumpkins (南瓜) in front of their home for the Halloween season. Yes, you read that right. Ric Griffith puts out one jack-o’ -lantern (南瓜灯) for every person who lives in Kenova.
Of course, he doesn’t do it all on his own. He has a lot of help from his family, and also from members of the community who are super-proud of what has become quite the tourist attraction over the years. More than 30,000 people stop by to see the amazing display, which includes jack‑o’ ‑lanterns cut to look like the faces of famous people, animals, cartoon characters, and other creative designs. It’s certainly a must-see as part of the area’s Ceredo-Kenova Autumnfest.
To fit in all 3,000 pumpkins, Griffith and his helpers spread them across the home’s garden and front porch (门廊), as well as on the roof!
Griffith began the tradition back in 1978 with just five pumpkins and, many years later, it’s much bigger and better. People can’t help but come to the area, walking along the sidewalk outside the house to get that perfect Halloween experience.
“Locals take great pride in it, and then there are people from around the country who plan fall trips and include it in their trips so they can see it,” said Tyson Compton, president of the Cabell‑Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s really something.”
“It’s become a tradition for many people in our area, and it feels good to keep that going,” Griffith said.

With the Spring Festival approached, my classmates and I decided to do something special to give our motherland a precious gift. After a heating discussion, we agreed on carrying out a flash mob singing the song “My Motherland and Me” at a local railway station.
On the earlier morning of the day,we set out for the station. After setting up the equipments, I took deep breath and began to sing. Meanwhile, my classmates sing together with me, playing the musical instruments, what got the atmosphere warmed up. Many passers-by also joined in us, waving national flags. The flash mob lit everyone’s love for their country. It was really a meaningful but unforgettable gift.
