    I am Frank. In our western countries, there are four seasons or 365 days in a year. Usually, we sleep 8 hours every day. So we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our study or work time is only 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes up about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. But we can't work all the time, so we need holidays. We have to remember that we get 2 days' holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours' lunch every day, and half an hour's coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for study or work every year. What about you in China?

    Every school has its rules. The rules are different. Here some students are talking about their school rules.

    Peter

    Our school asks students to wear uniforms, for example, sports clothes or skirts. Students must tell their schools when they go to the movies or leave home in the evening.

    Zhang Hua

    Students in our school can't eat gum, because it's hard to clean. And we can't eat lunch at school. And we must speak Putonghua at school. Students in our school can't have long hair. We can't get into school with other school's students.

    Mike

    Students in our school must wear sports shoes at school every day. And we can't wear slippers to school because they are not safe. We easily fall down.

    One day an American man Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat (公寓) was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But a man told him that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

In fact, the British (英国人) call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, but Americans would call it the second floor.

    The story shows that there are a few culture(文化)differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.

    The British don't like showing their feelings. They hardly start a small talk with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.

    The British and Americans may use different words for the same things. The British usually use "football", "holiday" and "autumn", but Americans like to use "soccer", "vacation" and "fall".

A: Hello, this is Laura. May I speak to Cindy?

B: Hi, Cindy speaking.

A:       

B: I am watching a film on the Internet.

A:       

B: A film called Zootopia.

A:       

B: Yes, it's about animals' dreams. I am deeply moved by it.

A: Sounds good. I'll enjoy it when I'm free.

B: I'm sure you'll like it.      

A: Oh, I found an interesting place to go for a picnic. Do you want to join us tomorrow?

B: Um, let me have a look first.      

A: Sure. Please do remember to give me a reply (答复).

B: OK. Thanks for calling.

    A small talk is a good way to kill time and make friends. When you are in other        (country), do you know how      (have) small talks with people?

    In England, the best topic(话题)is the weather. It's also a safe(安全的)topic. You can start a small talk by      (say) "It's a fine day, isn't it?"

    English people love their pets, so it's also nice to start with "A       (love) dog!", "What's its name?" But American people like to talk about sports like soccer and basketball. They also talk about clothes like "It's a nice shirt. Where did you        (buy) it?" The weather is a safe talk in America, too.

    Of course, there       (be) also a lot of topics to avoid during small talks. Don't ask people, "How old are you?" And never        (ask), "How much money do you make? Where are you        (work) now? ". It makes people        (feel) sad. Don't ask the people you first meet if they have a girlfriend or boyfriend.

    At last, please remember it's also important        (be) polite when you talk with others.

    To be healthy and happy is important for each of us. Do you want to improve(改善)your health and feel better? Here are some ways.

    Eat whole foods. Eat some healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and a little meat. If you have a healthy eating habit, you'll be happier.

    Exercise. Take up a sport you really like. If you want to keep healthy, try to exercise for 30 minutes a day, twice or three times a week．

    Get enough sleep. It is best to get eight hours' sleep a day. A cup of milk before sleeping may help you get a good sleep.

    Keep yourself busy. This is good because it stops you from having bad habits. To keep yourself busy, you can walk around the house, spend time with your pets, do a sport, or do a hobby you enjoy.
