What do children think about when Christmas comes? Many children around the world think about holidays, Christmas ( present) under the Christmas tree and special time with the family. They think about a big Christmas lunch.
When Christmas comes, children decorate their houses with their parents and grandparents. They decorate a Christmas tree lights, colored balls and many other beautiful things. Many children make (they) own decorations at school and are very proud (put) them up at home for the whole family to enjoy.
The fridge is always full pies, fruits and chocolates. A day or two before Christmas, a turkey appears in the fridge. People will cook turkey for Christmas lunch.
When Christmas ( come ), we should also remember the lonely and homeless people. We can buy or make presents for the poor people. Why do parents ask their children to do that? It's they want to try to tell their children that it is (good) to give than to receive.
While vampire （吸血鬼）stories first appeared hundreds of years ago, they have never been more popular than they are today.
Stephenie Meyer is best known for her best-selling Twilight series. The four books have been translated into more than 50 languages and made into five hit movies.
So what is it about these drinkers of human blood that continues to interest us?
Arlene Russo, writer of The Real Twilight:True Stories of Modern Day Vampires, is not surprised by the success of Twilight, " Why wouldn't you be interested in a creature （生物）that never grows old and lives forever? Isn't that what most people really want? The secret of staying young forever?" she said in an interview.
But in the eyes of British researcher Deborah L. Wells, the reason that vampires never die is that they change with our culture. " We create very different vampires to fit different times, "she said. "Edward Cullen, leading vampire in Twilight, not the same as Count Dracula in Bram Stoker s 1897 novel Dracula. "
Different as they are. Wells believes vampires are " the perfect way for us to look at our own worries". Stoker's Dracula is powerful, yet old and ugly. The Irish writer's book is really about the fear of the fall of the British Empire.
