American Table Manners
Table manners are different in different countries. What is polite in China may not be polite in the Unite States. These basic rules will help you enjoy western food with your American friends.
When you sit down at the table, always put the napkin on your lap first.
When eating something in a bowl, do not leave the spoon in the bowl. Put it on the plate under the bowl. When you have had your meal, place your knife and fork on the side of your plate.
During the meal, the hostess will offer you a second helping of food. Sometimes she will ask you to help yourself. When she offers you food, give her a direct answer. If you refuse the first time, she might not ask you again.
At the table, ask others to pass you dishes that are out of your reach. Good expressions to know are: “Please pass me the ...” or “Could you hand me the -please?”

School is not the only place for study. 1. It is important to provide a workplace of their own, so that they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.
2. Kitchen and dining room are not suitable for regular study, because books and pens get in the way of daily uses of those areas. Find a place where a child can leave his papers and pens without having to clear everything away every night. For a child that likes being alone, give him a comer in his bedroom. 3.
Keep things in order.
4. Parents should encourage their children to leave them neat and orderly when they aren’t using their workplaces. It is important for the children to have room for themselves. The workplace should be personal, but not another part of the playroom.
5. Encourage the whole family to help support the environment that children need for success at school. Give them a good example of how to deal with problems, how to manage time and how to get things done in the right way. Study will be more enjoyable when it is supported by the whole family.
What do people usually put in their living rooms? Perhaps you will think of something such as a TV, a coffee table or a sofa. But French designers Mathieu Lehanneur and Anthony van den Bossche didn’t think that was enough. They wanted to add something new in people’s living rooms. So they created a do-it-yourself ecosystem(生态系统) named “Local River”. The system lets its owner grow fish and plants inside tanks (缸) in their living rooms.
In the DIY fish and gardening ecosystem, the plants on top of the tank feed on the waste of the fish below. It makes the water clean so the fish can go on living. In this way, the fish and plants in the“Local River”can keep the balanced environment, and only need a little help from the owner. The system is also called “fridge-aquarium(冰箱水族馆) ”by some people because owners can use the fish and plants as food. That is to say, owners are able to grow fish and plants within the "Local River" before eating them. Almost any plant can grow on top of the tanks and most freshwater fish are able to live in the tanks below.
The“Local River”ecosystem from Paris comes in small and large models. It is a relaxing thing to have in your home.
