No matter where you go, no matter what you do, when you are in public places, you have to be in good manners. How should we behave in public places?
Keep your voice down
Don’t speak or laugh loudly. Remember that although you may be excited and want to voice your excitement, the people around you may not be interested in it at all. It’s polite to speak at a low volume（音量）. This includes laughing as well.
Dress properly
Dress in a way that is appropriate（适合的） for the place that you are going to. If you are going to an event where people dress in a formal（正式的） way, do the same. For example, do not wear blue-jeans or a T-shirt to a dinner party. But it is acceptable to dress casually（穿着随意）if you are going to a museum or a movie theater.
Use table manners
When you eat in public places, use your table manners.
They may help you leave a good impression（印象）. In western countries, do not pick up food with your hands. You should pick up with a fork or a spoon. When you are in China, you shouldn’t start eating first if there are older people at the table. Using your phone while having a meal is also bad behavior.

Peking Opera has a history of more than 200 years. It was listed as a form of intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）in 2010.
Peking Opera mixes different art forms, Including singing, dancing, acrobatics（杂技） and martial arts（武术）.All these art forms are put into one performance. Facial painting（脸谱） is one of the most important signs of Peking Opera.
Peking Opera is a kind of ancient Chinese art. But few of today’s young people know much about it. Famous Peking Opera artist Wang Peiyu, 40 years old, wants more young people to fall in love with the art.
Wang hosts（主持） a weekly talk show called The Wang Peiyu Peking Opera Show. It started to show on iQiyi on March 27.
On the show, Wang explains Peking Opera through different subjects, such as how to prepare for a show, or something interesting about the art. She explains how to put on clothing and make up. Artists often spend much money on their clothing. It’s said that a set of clothing worn by Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang once cost about 70,000 silver dollars. This would be 3.5 million yuan in today’s money.
To make everything easy to understand, she uses simple language. She tries to use modern slang（现代俚语）, such as “freestyle” and zihei, or zichao.
Wang’s show has become popular. “It gives a simple starting point for all of us, whether you know Peking Opera or not.” a fan wrote after watching the show.

My grandma is an outgoing person. Unluckily, she became ill years ago. She has greatly changed since then.
To help my grandma overcome this difficult time, I decided to teach her to play the guitar and sing in the garden. The small garden was our classroom. 1. We both enjoyed the special time that we spent together. We sat in two old bamboo chairs. The sunlight（阳光）spread everywhere, shining bright. Grandma listened to my melody（旋律） carefully and clapped（拍打）her hands to the beat. She started to gently sing an old song. 2. It was the most beautiful melody in the world. It seemed that grandma was getting better at that moment.
