In many countries around the world, Labour Day is on May 1. It is an interesting holiday that honours(纪念) working people and their jobs. But do you know how it began?
During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories but made very little money. Later, in the US and Canada, working people got together to set up unions(成立工会). They asked factory bosses(老板) for shorter working time and higher salaries(工资), but many of the bosses ▲ .

On May 1, 1886, men and women in the US and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to ask bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fighting against the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1 to honour workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first day of May became a national holiday in many countries.
Today in the US, Labour Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend and often celebrate it by having picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the US, Labour Day is also the last day of the summer vacation, and students go back to school the next day.

[传统文化]In China, the 12th month of the lunar calendar is Layue. The month has some interesting festivals.
The Laba Festival, which is on the 8th day of Layue, is the first festival in this month. From this day on, people begin to get ready for the Spring Festival.
During the Laba Festival, people eat Laba porridge(粥), which gets its name from the date. There are usually eight things in the porridge. The porridge is not just good for our health, but also a sign of the coming of the Spring Festival.

Laba porridge is not the only traditional food in the Laba Festival. Laba garlic(腊八蒜) is popular in the north. People put garlic in vinegar(醋) on that day and eat it with dumplings during the Spring Festival.
Don’t forget to clean your home. This is also an important thing to do to get ready for the Spring Festival. It means clearing away the dust(灰尘)of the old year and welcoming a new beginning. Now, the last thing for you to do is wait for the coming Spring Festival.
