Do You Want to Be a Writer?

Here are some tips on becoming a writer.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Most writers read whatever books they can find because they love to lose themselves in them. They like the sounds of language and the way that reading a good description can feel as satisfying as a baseball game or eating a banana split.

It's easy to forget a good idea if you do not write it down immediately. If you get in the habit of carrying a notebook with you everywhere you go, you can write down anything you want to remember. When you are talking to friends in the cafe or waiting for the bus, something might spark an idea for a character or scene in a story.

Nearly all writers agree that writers must write. It doesn't matter if you feel like you have nothing to say; the important thing is that you write every single day. Sometimes, you need to give yourself permission to write things which won't be your best work.

Do you have any friends who enjoy writing? Think about starting a writing group with other people who have similar interests. It helps to have the support of other writers. You will also receive valuable feedback, or suggestions, about how to make you work better.

If you decide that you would like to send your work for publication, make sure to do your research. If you are sending your writing to a magazine, look through old ones. Does it seem like your writing fits in with the other stories or articles? That's the homework for you after writing.

Different countries have different rules on doing business. When there is a chance for you to go abroad for a business purpose, it is best to be clear about the rules and customs. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

In Brazil

Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (especially women) with light kisses.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Business meetings sometimes start later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can last for hours there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication to mails or phone calls.

In Singapore

Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} This is because arriving late is considered impolite.

In Switzerland

The Swiss call each other by their last name. They are also respectful of private lives. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

For example, asking about a lady's age or how much they make a month is seen impolite. Being on time is required. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They al-so have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} They keep their hands be seen at the table and their arms off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.

Please remember, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

How to Learn English Well

Many of my classmates have difficulty in learning English. 

There is a 3D-printed library in our community (社区) . It was printed out in three {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. This library is special, just like a bird flying in the sky. There are different {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of books in this library. You can spend time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} books there. You can also choose some books you like from there {#blank#}4{#/blank#} return them three days later. There is a special box in front of the library. You can put some old books {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the box. Anyone can open the box and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} some books to read. These books can take away for {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. In return (作为回报), you need to put some old books in the box. It quickly became {#blank#}8{#/blank#} around the community. The box give people free books to read and make neighbors {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Now this library has {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a hot topic online.

Many people enjoy watching movies in a cinema. They think the cinema has a better atmosphere（气氛）to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home. 

Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy a ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like and with the most comfortable seat. What's more, people watching movies at home wouldn't have to face any traffic problems. 

It is free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we can't go outside and do something else because the movie won't wait for us. Sometimes we miss part of the movie. At home, we can pause（暂停）at any time and go back to watch the part. 

All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn't the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is better.
