The April fool’s day is coming. The people, especially the teenagers, are quite excited about the jokes they are going to make on the others. One of the jokes is to tell your boyfriend or girlfriend that you want to break up with him or her. Sometimes, the jokes just have gone too far that people may take it seriously. So, in the western countries, people make a rule that all the jokes make on April 1st should be end by 12 a.m. After that moment, no more jokes.
It’s said that the April fool’s day is started from France. In the year of 1582, the French King Charles decided that the first day of New Year should be January 1st but not April 1st. But some people were not happy about this decision; they still send their New Year gifts to the others on April 1st. The supporters despised the protesters’ behaviors that they give the protesters fake presents and invited them to the fake parties which didn’t go to run at all. When someone has been made fun of, the people around them will cry out “Poisson D’ Avril”, which mean “April fool.” After that, the tradition of making fun of others on April 1st has remained.
In China, some people are quite enjoying this special foreign festival. The kid will have the fully excuse to mess around without being published. They can put the mustard into the toothpaste; tell their friends that the girls they crush on are waiting in the park; lie to their friends they don’t need to do their homework on this day. These just some jokes, they mean no harm but fun. Sometimes, we live under too much pressure that we really need some joys in our life.
Happy April fool’s day!
April Fools’ Day is on the first day of April, which is a day for people to make fun of each other. Some people figure out all the ways to play jokes, such as getting married, which surely shocks everybody. But some jokes are not acceptable, such as suicide. Some teenagers want to attract more people’s attention, so they play the joke that they feel negative about life and want to end their lives. When their friends call police and finally realize that it is a joke, they will be very angry.
No matter what kind of joke we play, we should not cross the line and make others worried. The meaning of Fools’ Day is to let people feel eased from the great pressure. Playing joke is the effective way, but we must keep the rules.
In western countries, the annual April 1st "fool's Day" means a person can play a variety of tricks and don't have to bear the consequences. Called a "fool's Day joke" your trick will be forgive.
This is a distinction between soft hearted and hard hearted day, soft hearted person who made that they have been cheated, but look very foolish.

She brazenly people flirt, suggesting that spend the night with her would be "not fair" of pleasure, and gave each one requires the men meet again a another woman card.
Undoubtedly, during this holiday, magic goods stores will be refurbished to provide a lot of tricks. For example, sit up will happen harsh noise cushion; row will be fireworks after the match; and for those who want to fit a ball at the other faces of the people ready sarcoma, fake nose, glasses, beard and putty.

Nowadays, there appears a phenomenon that the westerncustoms are spreading into the east countries step by step, thus making many inhabitants who live in big cities enjoy themselves on these western festivals such as Christmas Day, April Fool’s Day, etc. Such phenomenon shows us that the world people are getting close gradually and the world is becoming smaller and smaller as well. Therefore, in my opinion, it’s a normal phenomenon s well as a necessary trend. First of all, it shows that we Chinese have become much opener rather than clinging to some very old customs, which are opposite our living. Looking back on the history, we can find the answer to why our China was very poor and weak in the 1800’s. Yes, the answer is that we closed ourselves not to let other countries know about us, and this led us to a very hard road on which we suffered many wars that many European countries launched. So I think it is more than necessary to accept other customs instead of closing ourselves.
Of course, festivals are just the beginning. What’s more, the Open and Reform Policy results in this. So I want to say it is a great achievement for the policy. Since we took the policy into practice, our country is developing with a rapid speed. No doubt it is an essential trend. Last but not the least, we may get closer and closer not only to our home friends but also to many foreigners. We can never feel embarrassed for not knowing the other’s customs and manners. And more misunderstandings can be avoided as well. To sum up, the trend has its great advantage to a certain extent.
However, if we admire the western customs too much, it will be a disadvantage because China is our own country, all of us should enjoy a patriotic heart. Wish in the near future, we can see the situation that westerners are enjoying themselves on the Spring Festival.
