Hello, everyone, welcome to our Chitchat. In last week's Chitchat, we asked our readers if they could re-select their major--the main subject of study in college, which one they would pick. Here are some of their ideas.

If I got do-over(重来), I will make a change

@Jim Zhang

If I got do-over I would choose _____ . I’m really fond of teaching kids. Honestly, I had no idea about what I wanted to do or what I really liked even after graduation. Three years later, I realized that it was a great loss of time to think too much about what I should do, because what I really need is doing it with all heart and keeping on. Unfortunately, I was too young to realize that at that time.

If I got do-over, I will ______.

@Agatha

I can get do-over, I would choose my original major. For me, majoring in mathematics was_____ . Proving mathematical theories in words was crazy. However, it is mathematics that makes me have strong logical thinking. The biggest pity about my major is that I didn't try as hard as I should. In a word, I don't regret choosing mathematics as my major but I regret not learning it better and further. Do-over is not in my list

@tina

____ , I don' t regret my choice. As an English teacher, sometimes it's hard to improve students' English level. But when I see great progress that students have made, I feel really content. Anyway, every field needs_______ For students, being good at English is not the only way to success. I' m really pleased with their progress, even not in English learning. Then why should I choose my major again?

“A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day/ The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way”, it is from a poem about Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as the Qingming Festival. It falls on April 5th this year. It's the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead. Chinese people visit the tombs (墓) of their parents,

grandparents and ancestors (祖先). They will sweep the tombs and clean away the grass around them. Then they burn paper money and put flowers and fruit in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.

However, not only Chinese remember the dead. People in other countries also have festivals for the dead.

In Japan, O-Bon Festival (盂兰盆节) is one of the most important festivals. It is held from August 13 to 16. It is also a holiday that serves as a family reunion. During O-Bon, Japanese people return to their hometown and visit their ancestors’ spirits return home to be reunited with their family. People perform a “bon odori” dance (盆舞) to welcome the spirits. On the last day of O-Bon, they put paper lanterns in a river to send off the spirits.

In Russia, people remember their ancestors on the Day of Rejoicing (欣喜). It's usually in late April or early

May. The name of this festival means birth and happiness. Russians believe that people shouldn’t feel sad for the dead because death means birth in another world. On the Day of Rejoicing, Russian people draw beautiful pictures on eggs and put them in front of tombs. After that they have a picnic together. They hope for a good life for both the living and the dead.
