I am already 20 years old,so I can not enjoy the Children`s Day.But I am a little sad,I still think that I am a child.Maybe everyone wants to be young,but it is not realistic.We are going to be old.

     Tough ,I have to go for class on Children`s Day.I still do somthing special to spend the day.I buy myself some candies,watch some lovely videos.I do it myself,not with others.

     Children’s Day was first celebrated worldwide in October 1955, under the sponsorship of International Union for Child Welfare in Geneva. The idea of a Universal Children’s Day was mooted by Rubab Mansoor grade 8 and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954. Moazzem and Abass helped and contributed a lot in this. Universal Children’s Day takes place on November 20 annually. First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world’s children. It was also chosen as the day to celebrate childhood.

     November 20 is also the anniversary of the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959. The Convention on the Rights of the Child was then signed on the same day in 1989, which has since been ratified by 191 states.

     Children’s Day is celebrated on 1 June each year. It is usually marked with speeches on children’s rights and wellbeing, children TV programs, parties, various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out etc.

     Then what do we do on this day?This answer is very hard to say,you know different countries have different ideas.For example in China:

     In the People’s Republic of China, Children’s Day is celebrated on June 1 and is formally known as “the June 1 International Children’s Day” (Simplified Chinese: 六一国际儿童节; pinyin: lìu yī guó jì ér tóng jié). When the People’s Republic of China was first established in 1949, the State Council (Cabinet) designated a half-day holiday for all primary schools on June 1. This was later made into a full day’s break in 1956 with The Announcement by the State Council to make June 1 Children’s Day a One-Day Holiday[6]. Schools usually hold activities such as camping trips or free movies on Children’s Day to allow students to have fun, and children of civil servants might also receive small gifts from the government. Entrance ceremonies of the Young Pioneers of China (similar to boy scouts in the West) are usually held on June 1 as well. However on June 1, 2008 the day was made even more memorable, as many people remembered the children who died in the earthquake just a few weeks before.
