It was my best friends, Tina’s birthday last Saturday. Maria, Anna and I go to visit her. She lives in Rose Street not far away our school. In the morning we bought some presents and got here by bus. Tina, her parents and grandparents were very glad to see us. We gave the presents who we bought to Tina and she was very much happy. Then Maria and Anna helped Tina’s mother preparing lunch.

It is Mother’s Day today. Though it’s a western festival it’s popular in China now. Mom has a full - time job, so she has to do most of the houseworks. She is a great mother. Both Dad or I planned to do something on Mother’s Day. We got up earlier in the morning. Dad cleaned the house, and then went on shopping. When he comes back I found a bunch of flowers in her hand. I asked Mom to stay in the sitting room and I cooked in kitchen. The dishes what I cooked were Mom's favorite. At dinner we said to her “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mom was grateful and moving.
6 . Happy New Year
Celebrations in the Philippines
In the Philippines, celebrations are very loud in order to scare away evil beings. There is often a midnight feast featuring twelve different round fruits to symbolize good luck for the twelve months of the year. Other traditional foods include sticky rice and noodles, but not chicken or fish, which can be seen as bad luck for the next year’s food supply.
Celebrations in Japan
Japan uses the Gregorian calendar and celebrates New Years on January 1. Families eat soba noodles, and sushi for dinner, and ring bells 108 times at midnight to clear away the previous year. Adult relatives give money to the children in their families, and many people send postcards to their friends and families, making sure that they arrive on January 1.
Celebrations in Italy
Like U.S. southerners, Italians eat vegetable and pork on the New Year, which means “head of the year.” After big family dinners on New Year’s Day, Italians go to their local square for huge firework displays and public concerts. Italians are also known to wear red underwear on New Year’s Day to bring luck for the year to come.
Celebrations in Russia
Russia’s New Year celebrations have been greatly affected by the country’s history. As religion and Christmas celebrations were banned in the Soviet Union, New Year’s celebrations often had Christmas traditions such as decorated trees, which were relabeled(确认) as New Year Fir Trees. As the ban left, these traditions stayed part of the New Year’s Day celebration.

Guide to Film Festivals |
| Cannes Film Festival Cannes, France in May Top prize: Palme d`Or History: The first Cannes Film Festival was scheduled to take place in September 1939, but the outbreak of World War II forced its cancellation. It didn’t open for the first time until after the war. The Palme d`Or prize was introduced in 1955. The festival became established during the 1960s and is now known as the world’s most important film festival. Did you know? About 20 feature films compete each year for the Palme d`Or. Previous winners include Michael Moore and Quentin Tarantino. Unlike the Oscars, the top prize is frequently shared between two films. Famous films that have won the Palme d`Or include Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver: La Dolce Vita and The Third Man. The festival attracts more than 40,000 people every year. |
| Venice Film Festival Venice, Italy in August/September Top prize: Golden Lion History: The Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival. The film festival started in 1932 and it attracted over 25,000 people. The festival did not appear again until 1934, when there was a competition between 19 countries. The festival was held three times during World War II and has been held almost every year since then. Did you know? Films at the 61st Venice Film Festival in 2004 were nominated for 16 awards at the Oscars—the highest ever for the festival. These films included Vera Drake, Shark Tale, Collateral and Finding Never land. |
| The London Film Festival London, UK in October/November Top prize: Non-competitive History: The London Film Festival started in 1956 when a group of film critics led by the famous Dilys Powell, the film critic for The Sunday Times, got together over dinner. They discussed the festivals at Cannes and Venice, and they agreed that London needed one, too. They wanted to give people the opportunity to see films from around the world that were not being shown in the cinemas. The first festival showed 20 films at the National Film Theatre on the South Bank. Did you know? The festival is one of Europe’s largest public film events, screening about 280 films from 60 countries.
