Children are the future of the mankind. And this day is their day. The children’s right for life and dignity must be respected and defended. Want is sunnier, more joyful and memorable than childhood?

Autumn
Autumn is a season when leaves fall off, the harvest is gathered and everybody and everything prepares for winter. The autumn months are September, October and November. Autumn is not very warm. In autumn trees become golden, red and orange. Ripe fruit come into view between the leaves. In the countryside one can see fields and forests in all gradations of the golden colour and enjoy this marvelous view. Autumn brings stillness; everything starts to fall asleep bit by bit; one often thinks of the inconstancy of live and at the same moment of the constant repetition of seasons.
Although autumn is considered often as the withering of Nature, this is the beginning of a new life. Animals prepare themselves not only for winter, but also for the next year. They make up comfortable winter houses for themselves and gather food to appear strong and healthy after the winter period. It often rains in autumn, and days become shorter and colder.
Autumn
By June Kellum
There’s nothing as fine as an autumn day,
With the smell in the air of fresh mown hay.
Each tree is a wonder
Of beauty, untold,
Each leaf brushed with colour,
A sight to behold!
There’s a nip in the air-crisp, cool and clear,
To remind us that winter soon will be here!
But for now we have autumn –
The snow-off of seasons –
My favourite by far,
And these are the reasons!
They are the Day of Knowledge, the International Day of Peace, World Students Day, World Food Day, Thanksgiving, International Animal Day and Halloween. Autumn greets us with rains, winds and long nights, making our spirits low. But we can change our attitude to it. It can be thrilling and exciting, full of pleasant emotions and wonderful events. We can get enjoyment celebrating autumn’s holidays.
