How are you doing? Sorry I haven’t written to you for so long! At Easter (复活节), Peter invited (邀请) me to a party. I had a great time there. Do you know what we did at the party?   Well, let me tell you about it.

Peter’s party was in his big house on Easter Day. His house was decorated (装饰) with a lot of ribbons and balloons beautifully. When I arrived there, I saw many friends. They all looked nice. For the party, I put on a brown hat, a pair of blue jeans and brown shoes. I also took my two toy guns with me. I looked just like a cowboy (牛仔)!

Peter also invited a popular singer to sing songs about Easter. When I was enjoying the songs, a woman dressed in a costume came in with a big cake and a basket of eggs. She walked around the house and gave each of us at the party an Easter egg. After that, we had a barbecue. I had a lot of delicious food, such as chicken, meat and bread. The party was fun and great!

How did you spend your holiday? Write back when you have time.

Best wishes,

Chris

What do people often do when they travel(旅行) by train? Most people may look at their phones. But now people in London can do something different—they can have yoga(瑜珈) class on the train.

Last month, Heathrow Express in London asked a yoga teacher to give yoga class to help passengers(乘客) relax. It’s the first time that passengers can have yoga class on a moving train. It is a free 12-minute class on the 15-minute trip. People of all ages can do some breathing(呼吸) exercises and body stretches(伸展) when they are sitting on their seats.

_______ “I usually look at my phone on the train,” said Joe, a passenger from London, that took the Heathrow Express train today. “But today, I put it down and enjoyed the peace(宁静) that comes from within. The yoga class made my day.”

A study shows that more than half of their passengers found travel stressful in the COVID-19 pandemic(疫情). “We hope our yoga class can make passengers feel relaxed,” said a yoga teacher.

Traveling can be very tiring. There’s always a lot going on and a lot to think about. But don’t forget: Traveling can also be peaceful. On your next train or subway ride, try taking a deep breath and doing some yoga stretches. You may feel much more relaxed.
