愚人节英语作文范文（二篇）

【篇一】

1st April is a day to be careful, or you could easily get tricked

by someone. It’s April fool’s Day, a day when people

traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone el and laugh

at them.

There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day,

but one explanation is connected with the change in the calendar

in the 16th century, which meant that 1st April was no longer the

beginning of the year. Tho who still celebrated the New Year

on 1st April were called fools.

So what kind of pranks do people play on April fool’s Day?

Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your

friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a

piece of white thread through it, so that people try to pull it off.

You could change the time on someone’s alarm clock so that

they’re late for work. Or glue a coin to the floor and e how

many people try to pick it up.

All the are small-scale practical jokes which you might play

on one other person or a few people. But there’s also a tradition

of large companies attempting to fool a lot of people. For

example a burger restaurant once claimed that they were

introducing a left-handed burger!

In particular, the media often try to make people believe

something which is not true. Newspapers publish some ludicrous

stories every year, although some of them are actually true. It’s

entertaining to try to guess which stories are true and which are

fake. In the April Fool’s stories, they often include a clue to the

fact that it’s a joke. For example the name of an ‘expert’

quoted in the article might be an anagram of ‘April Fool’.

Radio and television programmes have also fooled many

people by broadcasting reports which are untrue. One

programme announced the invention of an amazing new weight-

loss product - water which contained minus calories!

And one of the most famous hoaxes ever was broadcast by

the BBC itlf in 1957! A very rious news programme called

Panorama reported on the poor spaghetti harvest in Switzerland,

and showed pictures of farmers picking spaghetti from trees!

Hundreds of people were taken in and wrote to the BBC asking

how to grow their own spaghetti.

In the 16th century, people celebrated New Year's Day from

March 25 to April 1. In the mid—1560s King Charles IX changed

it from March 25 to January 1. But some people still celebrated

in on April 1, so others called them April Fools.

Each country celebrates April Fools' Day differently. In France,

people call the April Fools “April Fish”. They tape a paper fish

to their friends' backs to fool them. When he or she finds this ,

they shout “April Fish!”

In England, people play jokes only in the morning. You are a

“noodle” if someone fools you. In Scotland, April Fools' Day is

48 hours long. They call an April Fool “April Gowk”. Gowk is

another name for a cuckoo bird.

In the America, people play small jokes on their friends and

any other people on the first of Aprol. They may point down to

your shoe and say, “ Your shoelace is untied.” If you believe

them and look down to e, you are an April Fool then.
