Giving directions in different places

    If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.

    In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The post office is across from the bus stop."

    In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, "Go north two miles {#blank#}2{#/blank#}".

    People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, "Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know". {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!

He was chosen by his school to be a volunteer for a Hope Primary School. Every volunteer was asked to bring a gift for children and Zhang brought a football. "But I was surprised to find that there was no football field at this school, "he said. “So I had a wish to help them build a football field.

    How to achieve that? The novel came into Zhang's mind suddenly. By organizing the book sale, he got 100,000 yuan. He then spent it building a football field. Then he got about 130, 000 yuan by selling his second novel. He used the money to build a football field in another school.
