April Fools’ Day

Today I would like to write about April Fools’ Day. April Fools’ Day is on the first day of April. On this day, many people like to play pranks on their friends and loved ones. I think this day is very popular among children. Of course, some adults like to have fun on April 1st also! April Fools’ Day is also very popular on social media, especially through spreading fake articles around.

The first time April Fools’ Day was mentioned in books was in the 14th century. Since we are now in the 21st century, which means it has been around for at least 700 years! It was first mentioned as a holiday in Europe, and it eventually spread to other continents also.

In many places, after you trick someone, you can yell “April fools!” and they will know that everything was just a prank. This is the traditional way of ending a prank on this holiday. However, some people really do not enjoy being pranked, so they always hate April Fools’ Day. They avoid other people or suspicious situations on this day.

My favorite part of April Fools’ Day is the fake news articles. Many people will believe the articles and repost them on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. Millions of people will think the article is real. At the end of the day, it is always revealed that the news article is fake. However, many people continue to believe the article is real. This can sometimes cause a problem. This can be how rumors start.

Overall, I think April Fools’ Day is a fun holiday. It reminds us to have some fun and to not think about anything so seriously. I hope April Fools’ Day can become popular in Japan one day too!
