You might think that native English speakers are the best at speaking the English language. But some experts believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native English speakers are actually better at it.

    "Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other. And then suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them," Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications culture expert, told the BBC.

    Chong said that happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. "English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, use jokes, slang (俚语) and make references (引用材料) to their country that others might not understand," Chong said.

    It is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese friends. I am careful to speak slowly and use words I know they will understand. Sometimes we confuse each other though. Once I told my friend "no dramas", which means "no problem". She thought I was calling her a drama queen, though, and got upset!

    But don't worry. Experts say that it is the native speaker's fault if they can't understand you, not yours! "English speakers with no other language often don't know how to speak English internationally," said English language teacher Dale.

    The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don't be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.

    In China, two-child policy(政策) has come out. That's to say, China now allows two children for each family. However, different people have different opinions about it. Some parents are willing to have a second child as soon as possible. They think the second baby is a gift for themselves. One child will feel lonely when his parents go out for work. Two kids will help each other and share happiness and sadness together. In Chinese tradition, the old people wouldn't like to spend their later life in the old people's home. After the second baby grows up, he will be able to share the pressure of looking after his old parents. China has become a country with an increasing number of old people. Two-child policy will improve the balanced (平衡的) development of population. However, other parents refuse the second child because they have some worries. For example, they can't afford the cost of education. They also worry that their two children won't get along with one another. Maybe the young people can't find jobs easily in the future. For our country, perhaps the policy will lead to the house and population problems.

    In a word, more and more families will have a second child. Do you mind having a brother or a sister?

Do people have great breakfasts? It is one of 1 meals of the day We did a survey and 4,594 students answered our questions There were simple questions in2 survey, such as "How often do you eat breakfast?", "What do you have for breakfast?" and "How do you feel without3 breakfast?"

From the4 of the survey, we were surprised that 35% of them didn't have breakfast,5 they knew it was important Some students said that they had no time to have a good breakfast, while6 said they didn't have the habit of eating breakfast Only 65% of them spent time7 the first meal of the day every day 8 is necessary to have a health y and balanced breakfast because it help you to keep fit As teenagers, if you go to school without breakfast, you9 careless in class Let's develop a10 habit of eating breakfast before it's too late 

What makes smartphones fun and useful? There are many apps that you can use for work and play. Check out some of them here. 

Without the Intent or phones, communicating long distance is limited. Yet throughout history, cultures have developed ways to produce messages that travel miles. Morse Code is a system of communication. It uses patterns of signals to send and receive messages, often with a machine called a telegraph. 

A telegraph is a machine that creates different signals from different messages. These signals are then changed into electrical current. They are sent across a wire. They can travel long distances, such as across the country or ocean. Another telegraph receives these signals. The machine changes the signals back into the original message. 

In Morse Code, there are three types of signals. They are dots, dashes, and pauses. Dots (·)are the short noises or flashes of light. Dashes(一)are longer noises or flashes of light. Spaces( )are the pauses. Patterns of these signals represent letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. In Morse Code, letter A is one dot and one dash, letter E is one dot, letter I is two dots. As for consonants, letter C is one dash, one dot, one dash and one dot, letter D is one dash and two dots, Letter T is one dash. 

Morse Code was invented in the United States by Samuel Morse during the 1830s. People soon realized that the code could not transmit all messages in other languages. To fix this problem, a newer version called the International Morse Code was developed. International Morse Code is simpler and more exact. For example, the original Morse Code could only represent a few of the letters. The International Morse Code, on the other hand, is for all letters.
