Canada Day

Since 1982, July 1st has been officially known as Canada Day. Canadians of all ages take part in this festival across the country.

Canada Day is the year’s biggest national party. In many towns and cities, the government organizes a lot of events, often outdoors. These include parades(游行), concerts, festivals,

firework displays and ceremonies for new Canadian citizens(公民).The celebrations often have a patriotic mood. Canada’s national flag, a symbol for Canada Day, can be seen everywhere and a lot of people paint their faces red and white, which are Canada’s national colors. The celebrations in Ottawa, Canada’s capital city, are especially grand and exciting.

In the province of Quebec, many home rentals(租赁)start on July 1st and last for exactly one year, and many people in Quebec spend Canada Day moving from one house to another. So in Quebec, Canada Day is also known as Moving Day.

Many organizations, businesses and stores are closed this day. Only some bookstores, hospitals and gas stations may be open. Post offices are closed, too. As Canada Day falls in the Canadian summer holiday period, all schools are closed as well. In some areas, special services are provided for large events. The concerts, parades and festivals may cause some traffic jams.

Do you often help the people who are in need?

One day,two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears.The old woman looked very tired.They went up and said,“Are you going to town? If you are,we'll help you carry your basket.”

“Thank you,” said the woman.“That's very kind of you.” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears.So the boys decided to lift the basket together.They walked slowly with the heavy basket,but they were happy.

The other day,I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel(香蕉皮).She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱).“I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said.“Someone may slip(滑倒) and fall.”

Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things.That's right.But almost all great things are made up of such small things.We shouldn't wait for the time to do great things.We should begin with these things that are full of love.
