     It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year, people play tricks on
each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces
to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests (such as "Win an elephant!") and report on
fake stories (like "UFO" lands in New York City).
     Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year.On April Fool's Day,
the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).
     One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever
and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria.The
chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying
everywhere.
    Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them.Finally, they caught four of them.But
the chickens were wearing numbered tags (商标) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that
they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5.Where was chicken No.4?
     The teachers looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours, they realized
that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place!
They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
     It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite
memories from those years.

It was a very hot summer Sunday. Most of the neighbors were indoors with air-conditioners and color TVs going on. Suddenly, there was a power failure. After about half an hour, most houses had lost their pleasing coolness and people began to come outdoors in search for a gentle breeze. Before long, everyone was sharing all kinds of soft drinks and iced tea or coffee. Food began to appear, someone brought some small tables, and a natural block party developed. All around me, people were talking and laughing, and no one seemed to care that the power is still off. Nor did the spirit of the party die with the end of the evening.

It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club. It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand ever your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want. That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.
Fundraising(自筹资金) is a great way to help children learn social skills. It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask them for their money. They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school. If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride（从容处理）, and that is a learning lesson as well.
Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising. Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned in to the school. However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson. Dealing with money is important to know about when they are older.
Fundraising helps improve their schools. It is the child’s school. They have to learn there and grow there. Why not let them help in making it a better place? When one of our local schools lacked funding for sports, the students and parents joined hands to raise that money needed. When they succeeded, they felt they accomplished something important.
Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child. Most fundraising is done for individual classes and clubs. The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips. The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money. Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed.
In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways.
