In many British schools, the pupils usually wear their school uniforms to school on weekdays.However, recently the students at LVS Ascot Junior School in England wore something quite different.What they wore was what people wear when they go to bed—pyjamas (睡衣).They did this not only for fun, but for a local charity called Christopher's Smile.

　　　 Christopher's Smile was set up in 2008 by Karen & Kevin Capel whose only son Christopher died of cancer at a young age.They hope their charity will help pay for more research into children's cancers.Since then, the charity has raised a lot of money and got more and more volunteers.Every year, thousands of people take part in different activities such as charity walk or run to show their support for Christopher's Smile.

　　　 The students of Grade 6 at LVS Ascot Junior School also wanted to do something for the sick children.They organized the event “Pyjamas Day” to support Christopher's Smile.“We wanted to raise money for our charity in a way that the whole school could join in it, so each pupil paid ￡1 to wear his or her pyjamas to school on Pyjamas Day,” said the young organizers.Both the students and their teachers took part in the event with great interest.Together they not only raised some money, but also had a good time.

　　　 Betty and I are best friends.Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together.But this year, we had a costume party (化装舞会) instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John？” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class.I wrinkled (皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day.How could he even afford a costume？” Mum said nothing.The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed.We discussed it for a long time.Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently.John arrived, in an old sheet (床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual.We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups.Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it's time for the great prize game.It's the following riddle...” It was a math game.None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.
