These children are playing near a grave. Every year in Mexico people celebrate the Day of the Dead. In some ways it is a lot like Taiwan's Tomb Sweeping day. Tomb is another word for a grave.
Families go together to the family grave and they tidy it and decorate it with flowers. They also leave offerings of food and drink for the dead person.
Unlike in Taiwan though, in Mexico it is a very happy day. Families talk about their favorite stories about the dead person. The family enjoys a special picnic. Just like in the picture it is okay for children to play on that day.

Everyone gets candies shaped like skeletons. In some places people eat special bread with toy skeletons hidden inside. If you get the skeleton in your piece of bread then you are very lucky! (CATHERINE THOMAS, STAFF WRITER)
這些孩童在墓旁玩耍。每年在墨西哥，民眾都會慶祝鬼節（the Day of the Dead），有些方面跟台灣的清明節極為相似。「tomb」就是墳墓（grave）的另一種說法。
家人會到家族墓地集合，清理墓地，佈置鮮花。他們也會供奉食物飲料等祭品給往生者。
然而不像台灣，這一天對墨西哥來說是一個歡喜的日子。家人會講述自己最喜歡的往生者故事，並享用特別的野餐。就像照片中一樣，孩童在那天嬉戲百無禁忌。
每個人都可以拿到骨骸形狀的糖果。有些地方的人還能享用裡頭藏有玩具骨骸的特殊麵包。假如你的麵包裡有骨骸，你就會好運臨門！

Common examples include knitting scarves, baking cookies, sewing clothes and growing plants. These hobbies were once part of everyday life for many women in previous generations, but today they provide an escape from the fast-paced digital world. The appeal

A: Several Japanese and South Korean acts, such as BigBang, are participating in this year’s Coachella Music Festival. Have any Mando-pop singers ever performed at Coachella? B: Yup, K-pop group GOT7’s Hong Kong member Jackson Wang, and Taiwanese band Sunset Rollercoaster, which primarily performs in English, attended the festival before. A: It’s a pity that we didn’t fly to Coachella. But in fact, Taipei has also gradually become an Asian music hub in recent years. B: That’s true. K-pop sensation Twice just held three concerts at the Taipei Dome, followed by Hong Kong singer G.E.M., who is going
Concertgoers know the rush all too well — the moment the first notes play, your heart races, and nothing else seems to matter. For many, the excitement doesn’t end when the lights come back on. Some fans try to relive the performance by listening to the same songs for days afterward. __1__ A few days after an amazing show, they begin to feel unexpectedly low. Psychologists have coined a term for this phenomenon: “post-concert depression,” or “PCD.” PCD is primarily related to hormone levels. When you’re at a concert, the excitement causes your brain to release feel-good chemicals like
