Do you know what punk rock music is? I love punk rock music so much. Now let me introduce punk rock music to you. Punk rock music started in the late 1960s in U.K. Punk rock music is a way to express the singer's thought and anger with society.

      The earliest punk rock bands that formed in the early 1970s were Ramon's, Black Flag. Then in the late 1970s, more new punk rock bands were formed such as The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, Iggy Pop. Their songs were formed by some simple notes and their methods of singing were loud and they sang with anger.

      Why did punk rock music develop that fast? Because the people in that time needed some ways to express themselves. There are lots of punk rock bands nowadays, such as Distillers, The Cure, Green Day. The biggest difference between the old and newer bands is their clothing. The old punk rock bands did not really focus on their clothing, but the newer punk rock bands do focus on their clothing when they are out for functions.

    The game of telephone is a classic ice breaker and party game. It's easy to set up and a lot of fun to play. You and your friends will try to pick a word or phrase, “pass it on” by whispering(耳语) it to someone next to you, and have fun seeing how much it changed during the game. All you will need to play is a couple of friends, a word or phrase, and a whisper.

Get everyone in place.

    Although the game of telephone is simple to play, you will need to arrange(安排) the players in a way that supports the game. Have everyone stand in either a line or a circle. Players should be spaced far enough apart that they won't overhear the word when it isn't their turn. Proper position is important when playing telephone.

Start the game.

    Choose a person to start the game. Make the person think of a word or give a certain word to him or her. And he or she should whisper it to the person next to them. The pronunciation of the word should sound like many others' as the idea is to see how much it changes by the game's end. Once the word has been told to the next person, they will whisper it to the person next to them.

Continue whispering the word.

    Players continue listening to the word and repeating what they think they heard to the person next to them. This is done until the last person in the line or circle is told the word. Every person should have heard the word or phrase by the end of the game.

See how much the word changed.

    Once the last person hears the word or phrase, they will say what they think they heard out-loud. This is compared to the original word that the game started with. This is the moment when all the players get to learn just how much the word or phrase changed through their “telephone line”.

    American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind of them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

    You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

    “Excuse me” is anther short sentence they use. When you hear someone stay behind you, you know that someone wants to walk to past you without touching you. It's not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin to talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.
