In small towns and cities, walking is still popular.
The yellow school bus is a familiar sight all over North America. It is a very convenient form of
transportation because it takes students right to the entrance to the school. It also gives students opportunity
to chat with their friends. However, the bus is slow and does not always pick up on time.
The subway is a means of getting around quickly in many cities. However, it is expensive and can be
very crowded during rush hour. Another disadvantage of the subway is that the stops are not so close to the
school, and students often have to walk considerable distance or take a bus from the subway stop to the
school.
Walking has a number of advantages for those who live reasonable close to school. It"s free and it provides
a form of exercise. However, it"s no fun if you have a large backpack full of books to carry. It"s also
unpleasant if the weather is either too hot or cold or wet.

way I could do this was to work in the local brick factory in my town, or get married. I was nervous when
I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, "No! You are going to college." He took
me by surprise when he said,"OK. We"ll go to the brick factory."
Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. I had
imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and
singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager.
When we arrived at the factory gates, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside.
My father said, "Take your time. Look around." I walked around the factory looking at the building, the
workers, and listening to the noise. It was horrible. I ran back to my. father and said, "I want to go home."
He asked me, "What do you think of the factory?"
"It"s terrible," I replied.
"And marriage is even worse!" he said.
I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I
enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to
the brick factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very
good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!
B. Japan
C. China
B. more colorful
C. more beautiful
B. in a special way
C. by saying nothing
B. decided to get married
C. changed her mind
B. 紧张的
C. 浪漫的

| Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, "Where are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests-both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It"s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough-we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests. In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, "Where is my book?" this will sound rude. But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?" your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say "Where is my book?" in some situations, perhaps with people you know well. And you would not usually say, "Peter, lend me your pen." A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra language, such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?" Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request. For example, if you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, "Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me." or "I"m sorry to trouble you but," before asking them for help. It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. However, in order not to offend people, learning about the language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak. | ||||||||||||||||
