If you open today's newspaper, what do you see? Ads! Look through a magazine. More ads! Turn on the TV. Still more ads! Everywhere you look, someone has something to sell.
Here are some ways ads get us to buy. Some ads use famous people. Stars are paid to sell a product. Think about it. Do they really know about medicine? Do they know about soft drinks? There people may be famous, but they may not know about what they are selling.
Some ads make you think you're getting the word of an expert. They say, "Doctor said."A man in a white coat comes on TV. He looks nice. "I use Bright and White,"he says. This man looks like a doctor. But he is an actor. He has been paid to sell this product.
Does soap have anything to do with a pretty child? But ads may show their product with something nice, such as the sun, the flowers and so on. Such an ad is about feelings rather than facts. Ads are full of strong words. Words like "new" and "improved" have strong influence. They can help a product sell. The soap may be called "Spring Rain". A car may be called "Tiger". Strong words work on our feelings.
Some ads make promises（承诺）. But can they keep them? No. Some ads use our fear of being too late. "Buy now!" they say. "Selling ends soon." Check to see if this is true. Don't hurry. Take time to think. All ads hope we will buy something, do something, or think in a certain way. Know what ads are doing. Ask questions to yourself. Don't let their words and pictures fool you.

The Group of Twenty (G20) is an international forum for the governments and central bank leaders from 20 major members around the world. It was first founded in Berlin, in December 1999 with the aim of promoting global growth.

The members include 19 individual countries—Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States. The final member is the European Union, represented by the European Commission and by the European Central Bank.

During 4-5 September, 2016, the G20 summit was held in Hangzhou. It is the first time G20 summit to be held in China and the second in an Asian country. Leaders of the G20 gathered here to discuss important things. Why choose Hangzhou to hold G20? Here are some reasons:

◆Hangzhou is one of the most economically vibrant cities in China.

It is known as one of the best livable cities and low-carbon cities in China.

◆It is also the first city in China to run a public bike rental service.

◆The e-commerce giant Alibaba was founded in Hangzhou, which is also the hometown of its founder Jack Ma.

◆Chinese President Xi Jinping also served as Zhejiang province's Communist Party Chief and is said to fondly remember the five years he spent in Hangzhou.

In order to get ready for the G20 summit, Chinese leaders have spent several billion on new highways and three-storey homes near the International Expo Centre, the venue for the summit, which was completed in April 2016 cost of £917 million. Around 225 factories have been closed to reduce the pollution.

Now the G20 summit is over, but people around the world know Hangzhou, a beautiful city. China will continue to try its best for a better world.

American people like to say "Thank you" when others help them or say something kind to them. People in many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

You should say "Thank you" when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. "Thank you" is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

"Excuse me" is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that someone wants to walk past you without touching you. It's not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say "Excuse me" first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.

Let's learn to say "Thank you" and "Excuse me".
