What I like about living in america

I like many things about living in America. There is so much do do, and so many places to go. Anyone can have a happy life in America. The things I like most about living here are:

I can do what I want to do with my free time. I enjoy playing guitar and other instruments with my friends. So being able to play outside for people is a nice thing to be able to do. I enjoy the outdoors and there are many parks and places to go to or even camp at. Hiking and camping out in the mountains is very fun.

On this day

Today is "Tax Day" - everyone must complete their tax forms today! It is the deadline, or due date, for tax forms.

A lot of people feel panic on April 15. They rush to finish their tax forms. It is a good idea to finish your tax forms early. You can do them January 1 - April 15. Next year start working on your tax forms as soon as you receive your W-2 forms from your employer. Also remember that you can find free help (usually in March and April).

Most Americans remember April 15th is Tax Day, but most Americans don't remember that April 15th is also the day that Abraham Lincoln died in 1865.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He is one of the most important presidents, because he successfully led the country through the American Civil War, when the South and the North fought each other. It was a very difficult time and over 600,000 people died. But the country stayed united. Also, during the war President Lincoln put an end to slavery - he made all people free in the United States. Many people respect him for ending slavery and freeing black slaves.
