It was anniversary(周年纪念)and Ria was waiting for her husband Manoj to show up. After some years of marriage things changed between them. The once cute couple who couldn’t live without each other were now fighting over every little thing, but both didn’t like changes that came into their marriage.
Ria was waiting to see if Manoj remembered that it was their wedding anniversary. As the doorbell rang she ran toward the door and opened it with a bunch of flowers to greet him. Both started to celebrate. They wanted to make up for fights.
Suddenly the phone in the bedroom rang. Ria went to pick it up. On the call there was a man who said, “Hello, madam. I am calling from the police station. Is this Mr. Manoj Kumar’s number?”
She replied, “Yes, it is!”
“I am sorry, but there has been an accident and man died. We got this number from his wallet. Can you please come and identify the body?” the man replied. Ria was shocked!! “But my husband is with me here!!”, she replied. “Sorry, but the accident took place in the afternoon while he was getting off the bus.”
Ria was about to lose her consciousness(意识). She had read stories about souls returning to meet their loved ones after their death before it leaves!! Her heart sank. In fear she ran towards the other room to look for her husband. But he was not there. She said to herself, “It’s true!! He left me forever. Oh God, I can die to have another chance to mend for every fight we had. I lost my chance forever.” She fell on the floor in pain.
Suddenly there was noise from the bathroom. The door opened and Manoj came out and said, “Darling, I forgot to tell you today my wallet was stolen.”

Airports are dull places where bored passengers kill time eating rubbish food they don’t want and buying stuff they’ll never need. Right?
Wrong! Many of today’s terminals(航站楼)around the world offer great entertainment, dining and shopping. With so much to offer, you’re almost attracted to miss your flight.
1. Changi Airport, Singapore
It’s the only one in the world with its own butterfly garden, and each of the three terminals has its own indoor playground and video game area.
If you have a long wait you could always watch the latest movies at the free cinema, go to sunflower gardens or take a dip in the rooftop swimming pool.
2. Incheon Airport, Seoul, South Korea
A five-minute free shuttle bus ride will take you to the SKY72 Golf Club, with three courses and a driving range.
There are seven gardens inside the terminal, an ice rink, a spa and the Museum of Korean Culture. There is even a casino(赌场).
3. Dubai Airport, UAE
It has its own health club with a Jacuzzi, gym and swimming pool, or you can wander in the Zen Garden. The weary can take a rest in a sound-proofed pod with a bed for a while.
4. Hong Kong Airport
Not only does it have its own IMAX cinema, the airport is home to Green Live AIR, a hi-tech space offering both nine and 18-hole golf simulations(模拟).
For kids, there’s the Dream Come True Education Park, where they take part in role-playing jobs, or the Aviation Discovery Centre, with themed exhibits and graphics, and the Sky Deck runway viewing platform.
5. Munich Airport, Germany
Go to the outdoor Visitor’s Park to check out the historic aircraft, watch the planes from the viewing hill or browse in the souvenir shop. For kids, there’s Kinderland, a fun paradise with a big “adventure plane”, films, games, arts and crafts, and a waiting room for their tired parents to relax in.
And, of course, since we’re in Bavaria there’s a beer garden!

Dear Wang Lin,
I'm sorry to know that you are facing some problems. It's naturally for someone to meet with different kinds of problems when he first studied abroad. The language problem is the first one. But I'm sure you'll soon be able to use the language well, so I know you're a quick learner. Being sure to take every possible chance to practise your oral English, that will do good to you. The second problem is usually the change of eating habit. Not everyone can get accustom to a different diet, so why not to cook meals by yourself? Studying abroad is big challenge to you, but it's really interested.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
