If you spend some time in an English-speaking country，you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and polite social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first，but it can be very useful to understand.
Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every situation. For example，standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However，if you do this in Europe，some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China，we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine，but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example，most people would agree that talking loudly in a library，a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends，it is better to keep your voice down in public places.
If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette，we may politely give them some suggestions. One of the most polite ways is to ask someone，Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. People don’t usually like to be criticized，so we have to be careful how we do this.
Although rules of etiquette can often be different，some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world！For example，dropping litter is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this，you can ask him，“Would you mind picking it up？”

If you want to do a school project on children’s rights(权利), you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.
The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:
◆Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered (庇护） by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take responsibility.
◆Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.
◆Children must not be cruelly punished (惩罚）by their parents or any others.
◆Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse (虐待） and neglect（忽略）.
◆No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.
Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.
In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.
The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.

We have to accept (接受) the truth: sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.

“Homestay” is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local (当地的) family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability, ” said a teacher during a school meeting last term. “Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed (失望的). ”
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.
