Dear Sunday Globe,
I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(礼仪).
The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.
Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face?to?face conversations from ever beginning.
Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.
Yours truly,
Amber Jala

On Sunday 23 April, more than 30, 000 people joined in the 2017 London Marathon, running 26.2 miles around the city center.
The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one, just 6, 225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the most important sporting events in the world. Each winner receives $500, 000 in prize money.
However, most marathon runners are not professional(专业的).They run to raise money for charities or just as a personal experience. Many people do fun things to make themselves stand out, like wear silly clothes or do things instead of just running.

One exciting part from this year’s race was the story of Jackie and her husband, who got married on the morning of the marathon. Then they both ran the race, with Jackie doing it in her wedding dress! They were running to raise money for cancer charities, as Jackie was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer three years ago.
Matthew Rees was another runner to inspire(激励)people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help another runner run the last 200m.They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was too tired to finish the race and wanted to help him finish.

We use teeth to eat and we need teeth to talk. But do you really know them? Let’s meet the “cool tools” in your mouth and learn how to protect them.
