“I thought the answer was going to be  'a house' or 'a car' or 'a boat'.His answer was 'a pencil'.So I gave him my pencil and he was just happy and excited . I  realized he never had been to school before ,and that was the reality(现实) for 57 million children around the world. " Braun said.

 Adam Braun started working in finance(金融) after he graduated from college, But he never forgot the boy and the problem he realized.

“We live in a world in which every child can have a chance to get a good education ,because we have everything necessary already.We are able to educate every child .  So I promised to help create that world .” Braun said.

  Mr Braun raised money for his project. He paid for building the first Pencils of Promise school,in Laos, five years ago. Since then ,his organization has helped pay for more than 200 schools in the countryside of Laos,Nicaragua,Guatemala and Ghana.

    "Thank you," said the woman. "That's very kind of you. ''Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were happy.

  The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel(香蕉皮). She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱). "I hope nobody would throw that in the street," she said. "Someone may slip(滑倒) and fall."

Customs on Eating

    Food in China and western countries is different. China has about five thousand years' history. Chinese people may spend half of their time on food. They choose food very carefully. They only use fresh materials to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese people have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways. So Chinese food is very popular around the world. Western countries, like England or America, don't have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarkets. -They only sell stored materials. Western people also prefer fast food like hamburgers and chips. They are unhealthy for people's body. Western people are very good at making desserts and chocolates. They can make very good cakes and chocolates. These food are very sweet and can make people become fat quickly.

    In China, when people invite others for a meal, they would pay for the meal, but it's not the same way in western countries. In western countries, people will think you only invite them but don't need to pay for them. They won't be happy if you pay for them.

Another difference in eating is that: Chinese people use chopsticks but western people use knives and forks.

    Chinese people only have three meals in a day. But western people may have more. They usually have afternoon tea when they would have fruit or cakes with cheese.
