We had a specially Teachers’ Day this year. Several days before Teachers’ Day, my classmates and me had a group meeting to decide how we could do to celebrate it. One of my classmate came up with the idea of making a short video about the daily life of our headteacher, to which we both agreed. We get down to filming immediately after the meeting. The evening before Teachers’ Day, I edited the movie on my computer and added to some background music. When the video was eventually showing on Teachers’ Day, our headteacher was greatly moving and we students also enjoyed it. It was indeed unforgettable Teachers’ Day.

10 . The Albuquerque Balloon Festival
Every autumn, the sky above the city of Albuquerque in the south-western United States turns into a mass of bright colours. This is the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, a nine-day event.
The first festival was held in 1972 to celebrate the 50th birthday of the local radio station. There were about 12 hot-air balloons and they took off from the car park in the middle of Albuquerque. From these small beginnings the festival has grown steadily. This year at least a thousand balloons are expected at its current out-of-town site.
What to do
The pilots light up the burners of their balloons at the same time. These are known as “balloon glows”. However, you must arrive just after night has fallen or before 5:30 am to see these “glows” as the balloons rise into the dark sky.
During the day, you can walk around among the balloons. The balloons come in all sizes and colours, some in the shapes of animals or cartoon characters.
In the afternoon, why not take to the sky yourself by booking a balloon flight with the Rainbow Ryders? This company is allowed to take guests during flight. Another possibility is to take the cable car (缆车) to the top of the nearby mountains and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the festival.
There are other attractions for visitors of all ages, including balloon races.
Practical advice
Tickets are available online. Buy them in advance and save yourself a long wait to get into the festival site. Wear several layers of clothing. At night and in the early morning it can be quite cool, but during the day sunglasses are necessary. Bring a flashlight for night-time events and, of course, bring your digital camera for evening and night-time pictures.
