初中英語作文：愚人節英語作文
第一范文網小編導語：愚人節(April Fool's Day、April Fool's Day或All Fools' Day)也稱萬愚節、幽默節，是西方社會民間傳統節日，節期在每年4月1日。愚人節與古羅馬的嬉樂節和印度的歡悅節有相似之處。從時間的選擇上看與“春分”(3月22日)有關，因為這期間天氣常常突然變化，恰似是大自然在愚弄人類。這一天，人們以多種方式開周圍的人的玩笑。愚人節快到了，小編精選了幾篇關于愚人節的英語作文與大家分享：
一、april fools' day is a day to play jokes on others, no one knows how this holiday began but people think it first started in france. in the 16 th century, people celebrated new year's day from march 25 to april 1.
in the mid—1560s king charles ix changed it from march 25 to january 1. but some people still celebrated in on april 1, so others called them april fools. each country celebrates april fools' day differently.
in france, people call the april fools “april fish”. they tape a paper fish to their friends' backs to fool them. when he or she finds this , they shout “april fish!” in england, people play jokes only in the morning. you are a “noodle” if someone fools you.
in scotland, april fools' day is 48 hours long. they call an april fool “april gowk”. gowk is another name for a cuckoo bird.
in the america, people play small jokes on their friends and any other people on the first of aprol. they may point down to your shoe and say, “your shoelace is untied.” if you believe them and look down to see, you are an april fool then.
二、 April 1st is the holiday April Fools also known as “All Fools Day.” Its exact origin is not known, because there are so many stories as to why it started. The most plausible tale is that New Years Day in France used to be April 1st, but the King changed it to January 1st. Not everyone accepted this change for several years and those who didn’t were scoffed as fools, thus the term April Fools.
Today people from many parts of the world are recognizing and celebrating April 1st in their own unique way. Here at International school is a fruitful student body from all over the world. I decided to ask a few of our fellow classmates from IS to pass on what they did for April Fools and also pass on this tradition to this who don’t know about this good hearted holiday. Maybe through Jinan University, April Fools one day will really be global.
