Royal party in the UK

On May 19, a grand event took place in the UK. At noon that day, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were married at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

About 100, 000 people went there to witness the union of the now Duke (公爵) and Duchess of Sussex. As Harry and Meghan were pronounced husband and wife in the chapel, the crowd outside cheered so loud that the people inside could hear it!

Those who couldn't attend the wedding in person watched the royal wedding live on TV. They also organized garden or street parties to celebrate, laying out long tables along the streets and inviting neighbors to come and dance. Many people wore masks that looked like Harry and Meghan while they danced.

Although it has no say in any political matters, the Royal Family is an important symbol of the UK. A recent survey shows that 40 percent of UK citizens support the royals; while 20 percent don't and the other 40 percent are in the middle.

________ Most countries' leaders are not passed on by inheritance (世袭)—that is to say, if you were born into a royal family, you are a prince or princess. However, others dislike the royal family because they think that a life of luxury and wealth should be earned by effort, not because you were born into it.

In my eyes, the royal wedding brought the British people together. It was like a Cinderella story come true. It was also a great excuse to party, have fun and enjoy the sun!

China is a nation of etiquette(礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.

When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks(小吃) like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.

At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat (款待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won't happen at western tables. The Chinese family go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you are done eating, the host usually says, "It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more.”Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.

Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago:

To meet friends from after

How happy we are!

Audrey is a Chinese-American student. She has found many value differences between Chinese and Americans.
About money
Americans would like to spend more than they have, so many of them are always in debt(欠债). Chinese usually spend less than they have, so many of them have money left in the bank.
American kids love to make money by themselves. Chinese kids always ask their parents for money.
American parents think it is not useful to send their children to an expensive university. Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to a good university and that might make them very poor sometimes.
About school
Many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groups while Chinese girls take part in academic groups.
Some American students think that “B” is a gift while Chinese students think that “B” is terrible.
American parents and Chinese parents
American parents allow their daughters or sons to go out to have some part-time jobs in their free time or at the weekends. Chinese parents usually don't allow their children to do so in middle or high schools.

      Traffic lights are very important for us. I think you know this. But do you know how they were born?
      Garrett A. Morgan was the father of traffic lights. He was an American. His family was very poor. He left school at the age of 14. He was clever. He always looked for better ways to do things. And he liked to make new things.
      At that time, every American wanted to have a car. The streets were full of cars. The traffic was really bad. “Why not put three lights at each corner ? They should be red_,green_,and yellow，” Morgan said , “ Let them tell cars to go or stop.” He made a timer (定时器)to change the lights.
     So we have traffic lights today .
