Different countries have different eating habits.There is a saying “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” in China.Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch because they have not so much long time to have a rest at noon. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world．If someone is talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant will look at him or her angrily. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.

Save energy and water! ◇ Before leaving home, make sure to turn off the electricity. Take great effort to develop wind power and so on. ◇ If you can, try bicycling, walking, or using public transportation to get out instead of using the car. ◇Don't let water run while brushing your teeth and take short showers of four minutes or less. | Be a pioneer! ◇ Share your knowledge with others and help them become eco-heroes too. It takes lots of people working together to make changes happen. So share, share, share. ◇ Volunteer with more friends. Write to some companies to stop them working together with people who are harmful to the forest. |
Reduce, reuse, and recycle! ◇ Before you throw something away, stop and think about what else it could be used for. ◇ If you don't want to keep some things, try to find out who else needs them. Our goal is to keep usable things out of landfills (堆填区). | Be friendly to wildlife! ◇ Make your garden wildlife-friendly. You could build a bee hotel, provide some food, or even create a pool. ◇ If you own a cat that goes outdoors, put a bell around its neck so that little wildlife can hear it coming and run away quickly. |
