Dear Bewildered,
Table manners are about being kind to and considerate(考虑周到的）of others．Having proper table manners is one way people judge others,and we don't want people to think that we are rude,do we ?
Whether in a restaurant or in a home, here are some basic table manners for kids:
①Eat with a fork unless the food is meant to be eaten with fingers．Only babies eat with fingers．
②Sit up and do not hunch（弯背）over your plate;wrists（手腕）or forearms（前臂）can rest on the table,or hands on lap．
③Chew with your mouth closed,No one wants to see food being chewed up．This includes no talking with your mouth full．
④Don't make any rude comments about any food being served．It will hurt someone's feelings．Always say thank you when you're served something．
⑤Eat slowly．It takes someone a long time to prepare the food,so enjoy it slowly．Wait about 5 seconds after swallowing to get another forkful(一叉子的量）。
⑥ Don't reach over someone's plate for something．Politely ask the dish to be passed to you．

This is new for me and I don't know what to say really, so I just want to have a try．I was always a runner and in pretty good shape for most of my life．Then unluckily, I couldn't get myself out to run．
I put on weight (变胖）and it made me feel worse about myself．I found it was much harder to begin to run again after a few years than it used to be and I tried my best through even the shortest, slowest jog．
I was out in a run the other day and I had almost decided to give up before I heard someone say ,“You can do it ! It's hard ,but you can do it !”there was a lady walking the other way and had the biggest smile on her face．
Those words encouraged me at a time when I was ready to give up．I finished my run and now every time I feel like giving up ,I can “hear”her encouragement．
