My family and I are going to take a holiday in the USA, Colombia, England, France and Switzerland in three hours. Now we are getting ready for it. Mum and Dad have already __【小題1】__(澆水) the plants. My brother has packed the__【小題2】__(毛巾). They’re in the suitcase, __【小題3】__(在……旁邊) the guidebook. But he hasn’t locked the windows yet. I’ve already surfed the Internet and found out a lot of information about the cultures and customs in these countries. Here is what I’ve learned online. In the USA, just like in China, people are supposed to __【小題4】__(搖動)hands when they meet for the first time. In England, people should kiss each other when they meet for the first time. In Japan, it’s polite for you to bow when you meet someone for the first time. You’re supposed to use your chopsticks in a __【小題5】__(合適的)way. It’s rude to __【小題6】__(指) at someone with your chopsticks while eating. And you are also supposed to make a noise while eating noodles. It shows you like the food. In France, it’s bad manners to say “I’m __【小題7】__(飽的).”. You should say “It was delicious.” if you don’t want any more food. In Colombia and Switzerland, people have quite different attitudes __【小題8】__(對于) time. Colombian people are very __【小題9】__(寬松的) about time. It’s OK if you arrive a little late. But Swiss people think being on time is very important. It’s the __【小題10】__(國土) of watches, after all.

A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.

Number One is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number Two is a sign that we’re near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number Three is a sign that there is a bend (拐彎) in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go around a bend very fast. Number Four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction (交叉) at this place. Number Five is a sign that there is a hill and Number Six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number Seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number Eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it. The letter “P” means “Parking”. At some places, there are the signs “No parking” or “No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.

Dear Peter
How about your study? It's Sunday today. I'm writing a letter to you. I'm going to tell you something in Beijing.
Beijing is different from London. In our country, we drive on the left side of the road, but here people drive on the right side. Most people go to work by bus or by bike. The rush hours are from seven to nine in the morning and five to seven in the afternoon. People in China work around eight hours a day, five days a week. They usually begin to work at eight in the morning, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.
I have Chinese classes every morning from Monday to Friday. The students in our class are from many countries. We're all working hard and friendly to each other. The Chinese students are ready to help us with our Chinese. We also help them a lot with their English. We are getting along very well.
That's all for today. Please write to me soon.
Yours
Susan
