Do you like weekends? The weekend is a time for family (member) to relax together. First, we often go (outdoor) together on weekends. Planting trees in the field, walking and (go) on a picnic are popular outdoor activities. When the wind blows on children's faces (soft), they begin (laugh). They also like going fishing the lake. In autumn, the colourful leaves (cover) the path(道路)in the park. The sky is higher and bluer than that of any other season in a year. It is a good season to pick fruits in the fruit garden. On cold winter days, we may watch movies. We often work together home. Some do cleaning in the garden. Some may also like (paint) their houses. We are busy on weekends, we are happy and relaxed.

①We all know students don't have much money to buy expensive(昂贵的)presents. So as students, what can you do if(如果)the birthdays of your parents, teachers or friends are coming? Here are some ideas for you.
②On your father's or your mother's birthday, you can sing a song or write a letter to your dad or mum, and you can also draw a picture or cook a big dinner for them.
③You can give a beautiful card to your teacher on his or her birthday. On the card, you can write down some words of thanks and your love for the subject or the teacher. You can write down the favourite thing you learned in the teacher's class this year, too.
④When your friend celebrates(庆祝)his or her birthday, you can make a nice toy for him or her by hand. If he or she likes movies, you can see a movie with him or her at home. If he or she likes sports, you can just play sports with him or her.

American children like to celebrate their birthdays. They usually celebrate them with a party. They ask their friends to their parties. They don't have parties on the right dates(准确的日期)of their birthdays if they come on a school day. They may hold(举办) them at the weekend.
Today many children like two kinds of parties in America. One is at home. Parents decorate the house with balloons(气球)and coloured paper. They make a special birthday dinner. The children play games. The other is away from home. Some are at a special restaurant. The children eat pizza and ice cream. The waiters also sing and say happy birthday to the children. Some are at a park, or at a cinema, or in some other places.
There is a cake with candles(蜡烛) at every birthday party. When the candles are lighted(点燃), everyone sings the special birthday song Happy Birthday.
Many people don't have birthday parties when they are not young. They say they would like to forget how old they are. But they do like to keep the happy birthday parties of their childhood in mind(记忆).
