When you cough or sneeze(打喷嚏), please turn your head away from others and cover
your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, “Excuse
me.” This is a rule I set for my students. It is so simple, but many kids have
never been told to do this. In fact, I noticed adults cou
gh
and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by
subway in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that
someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out. We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit.” That means “Good health to you.” Both expressions are said—just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourages them to put advice to use more often.

uncle. This will happen again.
I promise.” My father handed me a box with a beautiful gold watch inside. It
was a gift my uncle bought for him. He gave it to and
said. “I hope you have learned something important today, and this watch will
help you remember the importance of time.”
