7 . Halloween dog parades(游行), where dogs get around in fun costumes(服装), are a fairly common scene during this time of the year. However, the largest and most popular gathering of its kind is New York City’s Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade. The annual event attracts over 300 dogs and their proud owners, who often wear matched costumes to help their four-legged friends win the Best of Show title.
Now celebrating its 29th year, the 2019 parade took place at the East River Park Amphitheater on Sunday, October 20. Hundreds of New Yorkers braved the dark weather and light rain to admire the dogs acting as famous persons, fictional books and movie characters, popular foods, and even other animals. Among the most famous were two dogs dressed as Sesame Street’s Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. Their owners joined in the fun by dressing up as popular muppets(木偶), Bert and Ernie.
A four-legged “Snoop Dogg” also made an appearance, complete with a famous American singers gold chain and sunglasses. A kind-looking dog dressed as Little Red Riding Hood showed up together with a “Big Bad Wolf”.
The 2019 Best of Show title, which came with a $500 gift card, went to two Yorkshire Terriers dressed as the leading characters from Charles Schulz’s bestselling cartoon novel Snoopy and the Red Baron. The well-designed costumes included a doghouse and a model World War I plane, which took the owner over a month to build.
A Jack Russell Terrier dressed as a bowl of noodles and his “chef” owner were awarded second place, while a dog and its owners, acting as characters from the 2019 horror movie Midsommar, placed third. Regardless of whether or not they won, the dogs and their owners all had a great time showing off their costumes to the cheering crowds.

The winter holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we go to places of an interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many money, yet we can still learn a lot.

10 . The Torch Festival (火把节) is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China, such as the Yi, Bai, Hani, Lisu, and Lahu, etc. It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June, with three days of celebrations. The festival came from worship (崇拜) of fire by ancestors (祖先). For some ethnic groups, it’s a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.
During the festival, big torches are made to stand in all villages, with small torches placed in front of the door of each house. When night falls, the torches are lit and the villages are bright. At the same time, people walk around the fields and houses, holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners. Inside the villages, young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night. Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan, torches are used to form hurdles for riders to get through. The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally tie fruits to torches with strings. When the strings are broken after the torches are lit, people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan, the festival is an occasion for holding torch parades. Big torches are carried by teams of people, which is like a fire dragon. If different teams meet, it’s a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.
