Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues(同事）for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you.

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 pm, and end at about 11.Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.

Do you want to be extra(特别的）polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember--not to ask how much things cost.

You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a “starter”(开胃菜),then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Some people eat bread with their meal, but not everyone does.

There are many different kinds of cars in the world. My aunt thinks this is because cars are like their drivers. She says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don't agree with her.
My neighbor, Mrs. Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesday, and then she drives only to the bank. She never drives more than 30 kilometers an hour. Do you think Mrs. Hill has a very old and small car? No! Her car is new. It's very large, and it can go 200 kilometers for each hour!
My friend Mike is an artist. He draws beautiful pictures with lots of colors. But his car is black! Mrs. Bates has a very old car. It often has engine trouble. Does she drive that kind of car because she is poor? No, she has four factories and two million dollars in bank. My aunt Mary has a very small car. Every Sunday, she drives to the country with her husband, her three children, her mother and their dog.
Now, you have read about my friends and their cars. Do you agree with my aunt? Maybe you have a car. Does it say something about you?

    Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will jump back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have the balance in your life. How?
    Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
    Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
    Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
    Don't be afraid of difficulties. We learn how to be brave by taking chances.
    Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地), the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
    Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
    Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍宝) you can always carry easily.
    Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift, that's why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

When visiting Beijing, the Palace Museum is a must-see for many people.
Last year, the museum received 14.2 million visitors, which is twice the number of visitors in 2002. This year it is expected to increase by 10 percent. Compared with other popular museums around the world, the number of visitors at the Palace Museum is very high. Last year the Louvre(罗浮宫) in Paris welcomed 8.8 million visitors and the British Museum in London received 5.8 million.
A large number of visitors can bring a lot of money from ticket sales. But there are also worries that people will do demage(破坏) to relics(文物) and old buildings.
To solve the problem, some people suggested taking cultural objects out of the Palace Museum. In this way, visitors coming for ancient buildings and cultural objects will go to different places. “It is a sign of progress. Letting more people see these treasures is more important than keeping them in their original(原始的) place,” said Song Xiangguang, a professor at Peking University.
However, Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, doesn't agree on this idea. He thinks that the most important thing in protecting the Palace Museum is to keep it complete. “The 1.8 million cultural relics and the historical buildings are two key parts of the museum. They can't be separated.” he said.
Shan said that they are planning to increase the space that is open to the public. This will not only feed visitors' curiosity(好奇), but also spread them out so they are not putting too much pressure on one area.
Shan also wanted to set up an appointment system. “ If visitors make an appointment before they come, we can make better and different visiting routes(路线) for them.” Shan said.

How do you spend your spare time? There will be different answers to it. Most people in Poland (波兰) have their own ways of spending free time. Sometimes they just want to take a rest, but they try to do something more pleasant most of the time. They have many different hobbies, which help them to get away their everyday problems and spend their free time happily.

Many Polish (波兰的) people like traveling. They always look for new places that they have never been to and add new and exciting experiences to their journey. Some of them like to climb mountains, others like to go to a sea or a lake to swim, because these can make them get exercise and are good for their health.

Many Polish people also like to do sports in their free time. They are usually crazy about football, and football is regarded as the Polish national sport. Many football fans may support a certain team, so they go to watch every match of the team they support, and they buy many things that have any relation with the team. Watching sport and doing it both are good ways to relax.

Heritage(遗产) is traditional customs, history and beliefs. We use the word "heritage" in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, city heritage and national heritage.

Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries，and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的). In most countries around the world, you can find KFC, Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee, American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others don't like it. You can decide whether or not it's a good thing.

However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example , when a new KFC opens in your city， a traditional restaurant might have to close.

That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving (保护) buildings. Some suggestions of heritage protection are making sure your kids speak your traditional language, and teaching knowledge about heritage to them.

The world is changing. No matter how it changes, never forget the heritage of our parents and grandparents.

Question: Are you punctual(守时的)?

Posted April 3, 2019 by Billy

I'm punctual in my work life, but not in my personal life. However, it's OK in my country. We, Brazilians, are always late: if the party is at eight, everyone shows up at ten and everyone, including the host, is happy that we are on time. Cheers!

Lisa Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Of course! My friends and I all believe that showing up late for an appointment (约会) or class is an insult(冒犯) to the person(s) we are meeting. It seems to say, "My time is more important than yours."

Vera Lausanne. Switzerland

Not only am I punctual, but I am always early for most events in my life. The secret is (and it really works!): I keep all the clocks (except my computer) in my life 10 minutes fast!

Wang Cai Shenzhen, China

For an appointment, I always make sure I'm on time. Once I had a friend who was always late for every meeting. If we made it at 9 and it was a 45-minute trip for her, then she would arrive at 9: 45. I liked her a lot, but could not stand the unpunctuality.

Bud Berlim, Germany
