Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday between March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates the beginning of new life. Hens lay eggs, giving birth to life, so an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular activity during Easter is to hide eggs around your home or garden for friends or relatives to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people spread them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these treats as gifts.

这是某学校通过校长意见箱收集到一些学生的意见和建议。请阅读下文，根据所提供的内容，完成下列表格，把答案写在答题卡指定的位置上。
| Zhang Hongying, girl, 15 I want to make our lunch time longer. At the moment, lunch time is short. Most of my classmates would like to do their homework during this time. But if they don’t get a good rest, they won’t have enough energy for the afternoon. So I would like to have more time and have time to take a nap after lunch. That way, we’ll learn better in the afternoon. |
| Zhao Pengran, girl, 15 I would like to have more chances to talk in English. Now, the English classes are not enough for us to practice speaking English. And soon the 29th Olympic Games will be held in our country. I think we’d better have one morning a week at least to have spoken English lessons in order to improve our English. |
| Zhou Jiancheng, boy., 15 My idea would be to have more fashionable school uniforms. If I were the headmaster, I would ask the students to design the uniforms themselves. We could have a contest among student designers. Then, we could ask others to choose their favourite. This way, we’ll be able to wear what we like best. How nice it would be for us young people! |
