It’s a common thing for many people to shop online. But it’s hard to believe that a parrot can manage to shop online.
In London a pet parrot called Buddy made it. The parrot succeeded in shopping online on a voice-controlled smart speaker by imitating(模仿) its owner. The order led to survey because nobody could consider the parrot could be the buyer. After they heard the dialogue with the speaker, they found out that the parrot was the buyer.
“I couldn’t believe it when I realized that Buddy had made an order,” the owner said. A video showed the parrot shouted “Alex” and something else, and the machine replied, “ What do you want to order?” Then the parrot told the machine what it wanted to order.
The owner said, “I laughed out loudly when I knew that the buyer was Buddy.”

Do you love seeing beautiful lanterns (灯笼) outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar (阴历) month. This year it is on March 2, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations.
Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect to gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the disappearance of darkness of winter.
Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people put riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns. A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people make wishes.
In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic(浪漫). At that time, young girls were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals. Therefore, looking at lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: “Restlessly, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the receding light.”
