When I went to England, I enjoyed my stay. But I noticed so many
different traditions.
For example, you usually shake hands with people when you meet for
the first time. But after that, you can just say hello. You must
say Mr and Mrs when you speak to older people, but you can use
first names with your friends.
One day we visited some friends and had tea. Tea is not just a
drink but a light meal at around 4:00 in the afternoon. You can’t
have tea ─ the meal ─ after 4:30. We ate sandwiches and a large
fruit cake. You can only drink tea at a tea party, not coffee or
juice. And you must drink tea with milk. You must pour the tea,
then the milk ─ you can’t put
the milk in first, then the tea.
In buses and trains, the other passengers are very quiet, and you
mustn’t talk too loudly. It’s very different from China! In some
trains you can’t even use your mobile phones! And you don’t often
hear people shouting in the street.
I was very lucky ─ I even went to a wedding. It was very different
from a Chinese wedding. For example, the man and the woman can’t
see each other the night before the wedding. Then the woman mustn’t
arrive at the church on time but a few minutes late. And at the
party after the wedding, the woman throws her flowers over her
shoulder. The girl who catches them will be the next to get
married! It was all very strange but it was great fun!

Advertisements are an important part of our lives. We are so used
to them that we often do not even realize how many we see and hear
in a day!
What is an advertisement?
An advertisement provides information and uses creative languages
and attractive pictures to encourage people to buy a product or
service or believe in an idea. Newspapers, magazines, the Internet,
radios and televisions are the most places to find advertisements.
There are two main types of advertisements:commercial
advertisements and public service advertisements (PSAs). A
commercial advertisement is one which someone has paid for to
promote a product or service. PSAs are often placed for free, and
are used to educate people about health, safety, or any other issue
which affects public welfare.
Does an advertisement tell people the complete truth?
China has strong laws to protect people from advertisements that
lie or try to make people believe untrue promises about products or
services. However, we still must be careful with the methods(方法)
used in advertisements to try and sell us things. Even if an ad
does not lie, it does not mean it tells you the complete truth. One
toothpaste ad says 'Bright-teeth fights bad breath!' The
advertisers want you to read the word 'fights' and think that the
toothpaste
cures bad breath, but it does not say that! All
it says is that it
fights it and that is not the same thing
at all. One supermarket tells buyers, 'You are proud of your
cooking, so shouldn't you buy the freshest food?' This one is very
clever, because it tells buyers that they are good cooks. However,
the ad never says that this supermarket has the freshest food! They
just hope that you
read the ad, you will
feel good
about what it says and
remember the words 'freshest food'
and then
buy it in the supermarket. We must not fall for
this kind of trick!
Public service advertisements
Not all ads play tricks on us though. PSAs use some of the same
methods, but they are made to serve the public. PSAs are meant to
teach us and help us lead better lives. You have probably seen or
heard some of them yourself, like 'Yes to life, no to drugs' and
'Knowledge changes life'. These ads deal with large social issues.
There are also PSAs that educate people about public service
projects, such as Project Hope. All of these ads are meant to be
helpful, and you can often learn a lot by following the advice they
give.
Try to remember: think about why you should do or buy the things
the ad suggests. We all want to be smart about what we believe, so
be smart about advertisements.

Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are
maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones
and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at
home alone, they always worry about me and my life without
them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things
they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They
buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school
things, and often a thousand-
yuan-cost bike. They think that
they have done everything that they can for their dear children. In
return, they only want their children to get good results in the
examinations.
But why their children still can’t understand them? Does it mean
that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact,
what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I
think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold
world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation
(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we
should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because
we know that we have a family.
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children
to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and
their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no
children will be regarded as little ones.
