As Guangzhou is accelerating its preparation for the 2010 Asian Games, Guangzhou citizens in every field are making an endeavor to help the host city take on a new look. On the 5th of January, Mayor Zhang Guangning announced that the government is considering giving its people a big Asian Games present as a reward for their cooperation and devotion to the Games. As to what the present would be, relevant departments would collect ideas from the citizens.
This good news has brought about great guesses among Guangzhou people. Thus various opinions have emerged. Some prefer to have several days’ holiday as a reward, while others hope to receive the tickets to the events in the Asian Games. Sports lovers are eager to have free access to city stadiums. Some opportunists suggest the government hand out lottery tickets, in which case they may have the chance to win a big fortune. In contrast, those who hold a down-to-earth attitude are looking forward to some new year lucky money or to have more discounts when taking buses or the subway. For apartment hunters in their 20s or 30s, nothing can be more comforting than the thought of being able to buy an Asian Games Village apartment at a reasonable and acceptable price.

“Sending thank-you notes is becoming a lost art,” mourns May Mitchell, a syndicated columnist known as “Ms Demeanor” and author of six etiquette(礼节) books. In her view, each generation, compared with the one before, is losing a sense of consideration for other people. “Without respect,” she says, “you have conflict.”
Ms. Demeanor would be proud of me: I have figured out a way to ensure that my children always send thank-you notes. And such a gesture is important, says Ms. Demeanor, because “a grateful attitude is a tremendous life skill, an efficient and inexpensive way to set ourselves apart in the work force and in our adult lives. Teach your children that the habit of manners comes from inside---it’s an attitude based on respecting other people.”
A few years ago, as my children descended like piranhas (一种南美淡水鱼，喜吞食或攻击) on their presents under the Christmas tree, the only attitude I could see was greed. Where was the appreciation of time and effort?
A thank-you note should contain three things: an acknowledgement of the gift (Love the tie with the picture of a hose on it); a recognition of the time and effort spent to select it (You must have shopped all over the state find such a unique item!); a prediction of how you will use your gift or the way it has enhanced your life (I’ll be sure to wear it to the next Mr. Ed convention!).
So, five years ago, in one of my rare flashes of parental insight, I decided that the most appropriate time to teach this basic courtesy is while the tinsel (装饰用光亮金属) is hot. To the horror of my children, I announced that henceforth every gift received will be an occasion for a thank-you note written immediately, on the spot.
I have reluctantly given my kids the green light to send e-mail thank-you notes; though hand-lettered ones (at least to me) still seem friendlier. But pretty much any thank-you makes the gift giver feel special—just as, we hope, the recipient feels. It’s a gesture that perfectly captures the spirit of the holidays.
