    Halloween is on first day of November, and it was very popular in some western countries. On that day, people, especial kids, dress in horrible styles. We knock from door to door. Where people don't give them to sweets, the kids will play tricks on them. In China, more and more young people like to follow this trend. They'd like to join on some activities on that day. They wear strangely clothes and find some funs. When the night comes, they always have a party, sing and dancing together.

Dear Jack,

    Next Saturday will my birthday. I'm going to hold a birthday party at home on the evening. It will start at 7:30. Some classmates as good as some foreign friends have been invited. The activities include singing, dancing and sharing interesting experiences. Surely, we'll have a good time. I would feel honoring if you could come. I live at 656 Minzu Street. You can take Bus No. 11 or No. 15 and got off at the stop of Guang Ming High School. Justly on the opposite side is my house, what is red with a white door. I'm sure of you can't miss it. I do hope they will come.

    Best wish.

Yours,

LiHua

More than 200m print books were sold in the UK last year, the first time since 2012 that number has been exceeded(超过), according to official book sales monitor Nielsen BookScan.

Although the coronavirus pandemic(新冠病毒大流行) caused a series of lockdowns(封锁) around the country－bookshops in England were closed from 23 March until 15 June, and then again from 5 November until 2 December, with differing lockdowns in place around the rest of the UK－Nielson said that print books sales grew by 5.2% compared with 2019. This means 202m books worth £1.76bn being sold in the UK last year, said Nielsen.

At Waterstones, Kate Skipper called the numbers really exciting which gave her huge confidence again. "So many people have turned to books for information and joy through this difficult year," said Skipper. "Our shops were asked to stay shut, but when we were able to safely open again, readers really wanted to browse(浏览) and discover new books," she said.

Kiera O'Brien, charts & data editor at The Bookseller, said book buyers seemed to be "making the effort to go to high street(繁华的商业街区) and independent bookshops while they could, and spending a lot of money in one go." She added that "the growth was very much spread across the board, with no single standout bestseller(畅销书) driving the market upwards."

But Nicola Solomon at the Society of Authors said that despite the strong overall performance, many authors were still struggling. "Book sales are up. We just don't believe they are up across the board," she said. "Big names, series, even some newcomers have done well, but plenty of people have suffered."

The Society of Authors' emergency fund for authors facing financial hardship has given out £1.3m to date, to just over 1,000 authors, and will continue to support writers in trouble as a result of the pandemic.

    When I was eight, I got my first pair of glasses. Far from being made fun of at school, the only struggle I got was endless requests to try on my new glasses. Hearing about what happened at school, my father once looked at me and asked whether I had pretended to be the blindness just to look like Harry Potter?

    With my strange hair and glasses, I did nothing to avoid it, either. The Harry Potter books were the great pop cultural event of my generation, who began reading again. My school librarian, both confused and annoyed by us Potter fans, dealt with fights over the schools few old copies by setting a new rule: Harry Potter could be borrowed for only three days, instead of the whole week of borrowing period every other title was allowed.

    In the 20 years since the first book arrived on shelves, publishers and parents have been asking what has made J.K. Rowling's books so loved. It is better to look at the influence they have had on their readers. Yes, the books were about a boy taking on a dark and powerful enemy in the magical world, but they were also about love defeating hate, determination and choosing" between what is easy and what is right". Rowling's entire magical characters were all people we want to be.

    I grew up with Harry and together we became children with our own opinions, teens easy to get angry and young adults thinking of everything as normal. When the final book came out in 2007.I read it for 12 hours without a break and cried as I finished it. I felt something sad: the end of Harry's story signaled the end of my childhood. I was suddenly aimless. Meanwhile, my now Potter-mad father walked impatiently nearby, waiting for the proper moment to take the book away from his daughter.

    Harry Potter did shape my generation. As a girl who grew up mostly in peacetime, many of the ideas I found in these books were ones we had never come across before. The magical world's terrible treatment of non-human beings was the first description of slavery I knew. The treatment of Harry's teacher Remus Lupin, who hides his condition at work, is a metaphor(比喻) for the shame surrounding those who suffer from AIDS. And all settings like this may have real-world reflections .A study found that teenage Harry Potter readers showed more tolerance (包容) towards those who were suffering. Is it possible that Jeremy Corbyn's popularity among the young had anything to do with their literary education? Is it possible that Harry Potter, in the 20 years he has been with us, has inspired a generation to be more empathetic （感同身受）， welcoming and socially open－minded than those before it? We will see, if not, at least my glasses are still cool.

Enjoy the challenge of a new term

    The new term is finally here, which means, of course, it's time to return to school.

    For many students across China, that also means having to leave home for the next several months and move into a school dormitory.

    Being away from our family for a long time, however, often leads to homesickness, a feeling that most students have experienced at some point.

    A study by the UK's National Union of Students found that up to 70 percent of UK students living away from home experience homesickness within their first few weeks of being away.

    But homesickness isn't just a feeling of sadness that happens in our mind; it can also affect us physically.

    "You feel homesickness in your stomach—it's an unease in which you feel uncomfortable, nervous, stressed because you're in a place or situation that's not familiar," Joshua Klapow, a professor of public heath at the University of Alabama, us, told HuffPost.

    According to Klapow, the body reacts physically when it's placed in an unknown situation such as being separated from one's familiar surroundings for a long time.

    "It's an evolutionary(进化的) thing that makes us protect ourselves from danger when something is unknown," he told the HuffPost.

    "When we think about home, we know that the sense of unknown … is not happening there, so we want to return."

    So, how can we overcome these physical reactions?

    Ruth Hardy of the Guardian offered advice for students who are feeling the effects of being away from the safety of home.

    "Try and establish routines(常规) quickly. This can make your new environment feel more stable and will hopefully make you feel more settled," she wrote.

    Making friends with others who are in your situation is also a great way to feel less homesick, according to Hardy.

    The most important thing to remember, however, is that homesickness is completely normal and is nothing to be ashamed of.

    And once it's gone, you're free lo enjoy the adventures and challenges of a brand new school year.

    I must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man can, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, “You have something on your mind, don't you?”

    “Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Haiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.”

    I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face. “Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!” she said simply. And with my grandmother's support, I set out to pursue my passions.

    14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasn't the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.

    It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.

    As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could.

    I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa. Six months earlier, I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.

The house style that dominated American housing during the 1880s and 1890s was known as Queen Anne, a curious name for an American style. The name was, in fact, a historical accident, originating with fashionable architects in Victorian England who coined it with apparently no reason other than its pleasing sound. The Queen Anne style was loosely based on structures built long before 1702, the beginning year of Queen Anne's reign (统治期).

A distinctive characteristic found in most Queen Anne houses is the unusual roof shape (illustrated in the picture on the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central portion with protruding lower front and side extensions that end in gables. It is often possible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away. Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood board siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns of scallops, curves, diamonds, or triangles. Queen Anne houses are almost always asymmetrical (不对称的). If you draw an imaginary line down the middle of one, you will see how different the right and left sides are, all the way from ground level to roof peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparound porch (门廊) that includes the front door area and then extends around to either the right or left side of the house.

Queen Anne houses faded from fashion early in the twentieth century as the public's taste shifted toward the more modern Prairie and Craftsman style houses. Today, however, Queen Anne houses are favorite symbols of the past, painstakingly and lovingly restored by old-house buffs and reproduced by builders who give faithful attention to the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first popularized more than one hundred years ago.
