Students learn their lessons in class. In class teachers teach them. Students sit in the classroom and listen to the teacher. This is a way of learning. Is this the only way for students to learn something? Of course not. There is another way to learn. That is teaching themselves. For example, if you can't remember something when you are doing your homework, you can look it up from your book to find the answer. This is a way to teach yourself. And it is not a difficult thing. We can do this at any place and at any time.

    How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are interested in, or those you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. The question is something you don't understand, or something you want to know more about it. You can write down these questions. A clever student is usually good at asking questions. The third is to answer the question yourself by thinking hard, by reading the text or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do this all by yourself. If you keep doing like this for a long time, you are sure to succeed in your study

    The speed and convenience of modern travel makes the faraway countries be reached quickly and easily now.

    Even though they now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. So it is important to change your behavior so that you can get on well with local people. Following are some basic rules that will make communication easier, and your trip more enjoyable.

    First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you don't know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to the thing. Before you travel, you can also learn some basic words or phrases of the local language, such as words for please, thank you, and may I, as well as basic greetings

    Second, consider the culture of the country you plan to visit and read about the rules related to clothing. You ca bring some clothes such as shirts or T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers.

    Avoid topics（话题） that you think may be sensitive. If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will likely be the same in other cultures. Feel free to show interest in the history and customs of the place that you are visiting, but don't ask questions about why things are done a certain way, because you may make the local people unhappy.

    Keep in mind that in many cultures, showing affection in public isn't allowed. Kissing on the street or in public should be avoided. If you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy them.

    Finally, if you wish to take a gift, do some research. The idea of the perfect gift is different greatly from country to country, and one of the easiest ways to make someone angry is to give the wrong gift.
