Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 30 years old. I'm a doctor, and I live at Scott Base. It's very cold here. At night it can be -50℃, and in the middle of the day it's only -20℃.

There are twelve people living here. There is a restaurant, a TV room, a small shop and 6 bedrooms — one bedroom is for two people. Jack is my roommate. He is very tidy and he cleans the bedroom every day. Most of the food is from New Zealand and we also eat fish from the sea.

We work 5 days a week. Every morning I go swimming in the sea. After work, I usually play football or watch TV. I also love watching birds.

It's cold here, but it's also a very beautiful place to live. I love it.

A boy had lots of bad habits. His father had no idea about 1 to do, so he couldn't help   his son. Then he asked an old man for 2

 The old man said 3 but took the son for a walk through a hill. There were lots of plants on it. The old man stopped in front of a small plant growing in the 4 and told the boy to pull(拉) it out. The boy held(抓住) the* plant. and 5 pulled it out. It was a piece of cake. The old man then asked him to pull out a bigger plant. The boy pulled hard and the plant came out. He was happy and 6 to pull out another one. The old man just pointed to the smallest one. For the boy, it was like a match and 7 didn't want to lose. That's why he tried to 8 as hard as he could.

9 , the old man, pointing to a big tree, said, " Now pull this one out." The boy tried hard but the tree didn't 10 ." It's not possible. No one can make it." said the boy tiredly.

" Boy, the plants are just like your bad 11 ," said the old man." When they are 12 , it is easy to pull them out, 13 when they get old, they can't be controlled(控制)." The old man's words made the boy think a lot and change his life.

 There is a 14 that we can learn from the story: Don't wait for bad habits to 15 in us. Give them up when we are in control of them, or they will get control over us.

Dinner customs are different around the world. If you are a dinner guest in Ghana, this information will help you. 

In Ghana dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules about time in Ghana. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food. 

When you arrive, the host takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dining room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table. 

In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else. But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water. 

There is a dish called fufu in most meals in Ghana. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw(锯) because it is very hard and like rubber. You must chew fufu well, or you can get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.
