    Better than Christmas



    Wednesday, Oct 19, 2005,Page 15

    PHOTO: EPA

    For many children, two of the best things in the world are Christmas and rollercoasters. This picture has both.

    The men in the red suits are dressed up as Santa Claus, the man who brings children presents on Christmas morning.

    Christmas is about fun and being jolly. Of course, since Santas love to laugh, it's easy to see why they would love rollercoasters.

    In this picture the Santas are just having fun and relaxing. But the reason they all got together is a little more serious.

    They are all Santas from England who got together to make sure that Santas all over England do a good job.
    Do you know?
    THE RULES
    When all the Santas got together they made a few rules. The first two rules were about the length Santa's beard and the size of Santa's belly. The Santas are also considering rules about being able to say Merry Christmas in different languages and saying ``Ho, ho, ho!'' exactly right.
    The words of the day
    jolly
    愉快的 (yu2 kuai4 de5)

    serious
    認真的 (ren4 zhen1 de5)
    I know you all want to have fun, but let's be serious for a minute so we can take our test.
    我知道你們都想去玩,但為了考試我們認真一下吧!
