Every year the White House celebrates the day after Easter Sunday in style.The President and the First Lady throw a big party for thousands of guests — mostly kids — on the White House South Lawn and nearby. There is plenty to do at this allday affair — everything from storytelling and stage shows to art activities — and plenty to eat.But it is the eggrolling that attracts the most attention.Easter involves eggs, and the White House celebration has lots of them.Thousands of hardboiled eggs are dyed different colors, and guests go home with special wooden eggs.
Washington, D.C.has been hosting egg parties for quite some time.Some say Dolley Madison and also Abraham Lincoln held eggrolling parties.But most people agree that the Easter Monday party got its start at the United States Capitol in the early 1870s. It moved to the White House South Lawn in 1878, when Rutherford B. Hayes was President.Two years later, it was a regular event there.
The Easter parties are never the same.In the late 1880s, John Philip Sousa, a famous director, started performing them.In the late 1920s, he even wrote a musical composition called “Easter Monday on the White House Lawn”. In those years，guests played Egg Ball, toss and catch or Egg Croquet (槌球戏). Sometimes they went on an egg hunt. While egg rolling was a big part of every party, eggrolling races didn’t begin until the early 1970s. And it wasn’t until 1969 that the White House Easter Bunny was invited.He has been at every party since then.
Only a few things can stop the White House Easter Event.It has been cancelled because of war，weather，and work being done on the White House.But nothing seems to keep kids away from this popular public event — one of the oldest in White House history.Two years ago, more than ten thousand guests celebrated Easter and eggrolling in White House style.

Miss Zhang is one of my most favorite teachers. She has a slim build and always ties his hair in a ponytail. She is 35, but she looks quite young at her age. Which impresses me most is Miss Zhang's way of teaching. She devotes herself to teach and prepares well for every class. Not only did she help us to understand ¨what", but she explores "why". She encourages us to think independent and have discussions among ourselves when we faced with problems. She is such a inspiring person with a strong sense of responsibilities, and we all respect and admire her.
