Autumn is the season of colourful leaves and blue skies. Many people like this time of year best. In different countries, people do many fun things to celebrate this time. Let's see some autumn traditions in England and America.
Autumn in the UK is so much fun! At school, kids love playing conkers. Conkers are big brown seeds from horse chestnut(马栗) trees. To play the game, kids should tie a string(绳子) to a conker first and then try to hit their friend's conker. It is such a popular game that there is even a World Conker Match every October! Autumn is also a time for yummy food. People cook delicious British dumplings in warm meat soup. It is perfect to have this kind of food on a cold day!
In the US, apples are the stars of autumn. People drink apple juice and eat apple pies. Another popular drink is the pumpkin coffee. You can find it easily at US coffee shops. But one US autumn food you may not know is chili. It is a dish made of meat, beans, onions and tomatoes. For many American children, these special foods become sweet memories(记忆). They are a happy part of growing up.
