Can you imagine that you go to school in your pajamas (睡衣)? But it’s a real thing at LVS Ascot Junior School in England. They did this not only for fun, but for a charity called Christopher’s Smile.

Christopher was Karen and Kevin Capel’s only son. When he was very young, he got cancer and died. The parents were very sad. So they set up Christopher’s Smile to raise money to help the children who got cancer like Christopher in 2008. Since then, the charity has raised a lot of money and more and more people joined it.

The students of Grade 6 had “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: each student paid one pound to wear his or her pyjamas to school on Pyjamas Day,” said one student.

Both the students and their teachers took part in the activity with great interest. Together they not only raised some money, but also had a good time.

C．The students paid one pound to go to school in pyjamas every day.

D．More and more people joined the charity since 2008.

These years, people show all kinds of things on the Internet: good food, nice clothes, wonderful vacations and so on. Now showing the number of steps is becoming popular.

People are finding it important to be in good health. To keep healthy, many people go to work on foot. When they start walking, they open the step counter app on their phones to record how many steps they walk that day. After a day’s walk, some people show the number on WeChat or Weibo. This can make them learn from each other and keep exercising.

“This helps me to exercise much and keep a good habit,” Miss Liu said. “I can also talk about how to keep healthy with my friends on WeChat. We are in the same group to encourage each other to keep exercising.”

Mr. Wu likes to exercise. But in the past he was kind of lazy and didn’t want to exercise every day. “After I use the step counter app, everything is different. It’s great to exercise with my friends. Sometimes there are prizes for those who walk more steps. I really like it .” he said.

Walking is a relaxing and useful way to exercise. Both the old and the young like it. Recording the steps helps people develop a good habit of walking and showing the number can make people more interested in walking. But don’t take the number too seriously.
