I think April Fool's Day is a very unusual holiday. On April Fool's Day, you have to watch out for practical jokes. You can't trust ever

y

thing you hear on April 1st. Even some main newspapers will put fake news to fool people. I heard a story about how on April Fool's Day, a piece of fake news brought panic(恐慌) to London. A newspaper printed an article about aliens landing in England. This caused many people to be afraid and the local police were not very pleased with the newspaper.
It can be interesting to play tricks, but you'd better not to go too far. One April Fool's Day, I called my mother from the university I attended. I told her that I failed all of my exams and because of this, I wasn't able to graduate. She was so upset that she started to cry. I felt really bad about making her sad and tried to tell her it was just a joke. After I told her it was only an April Fool's Day's joke, she got so angry with me that she hung up the phone. I had to call
her back and apologize before she would talk to me again.
April Fool's Day's jokes can be funny but you should be careful not to hurt people's feelings by embarrassing them too much. Before you act, you should always make sure to put yourself in someone else's shoes and think about how they might feel.
