Curiously enough, apart from Spain -and maybe the Spanish speaking countries- a good part of the rest of the world celebrates Fools' Day on 1st April. Why and how are matters that are answered in some of the videos you can watch following this link:
April Fools' Day videos
You will learn about the curious story of this celebration, together with a good deal of expressions and different tricks you can play on your friends.
After watching the videos and processing the information, a great language exercise would be to explain in detail (or to write about) a practical joke someone played on you or you played on someone.
It seems to me that sometimes it is particularly difficult for learners of English to describe processes, no matter how simple or common they may be. Try to imagine yourself explaining how you do different things (from tying up your shoelaces -amazing, how many different ways there can be!; click here to see- to giving detailed information about what you do at work or in which exactly one of your hobbies consists in. I bet it won't be easy, but it is a wonderful exercise -and practical, too, since you get ready to talk about things you are familiar with and you could bring up in almost any conversation.
