I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say anything bad to anyone.

Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.

Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.

By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!

Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

Nowadays, WeChat is 1. more and more popular in China. No matter where we are, we can sign up and sent text or voice messages to our 2. .We can also find a stranger to talk to by shaking the 3. . Another funny function is that WeChat can help to search for people 4. live nearby with the program on. Many people like this function, because it can help them to find more people who they may know.

In my 5. , Wechat is really a useful chatting tool. It can help people communicate with their friends more 6. . However, it is also bad for people, especially students. As you see, some people use Wechat for too long. It is not healthy to them. So I have some 7. to use it in a correct way. First, we should not use it 8. we are studying. We can’t focus on your 9. if we use it. Second, we must be careful. We should neither show too much personal information nor trust strangers so much.

Wu Yifang is a 21-year-old girl from Shantou, China. Now she studies in Britain. One day, when she was taking a train from London to Oxford, she heard loud noises on the train.

Before, the train had been very quiet. Some people were resting while others were reading books or listening to music. Suddenly, a group of Chinese people laughed loudly as they played a game of cards.

“I would usually be very happy to meet people from my own country. But at that moment, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow ( 吞没 ) me.” Zhang said.

As it becomes easier for Chinese people to get visas( 签证) to foreign countries, more and more of them are traveling abroad. However, their bad manners have given them a bad reputation.

A recent U.S. survey of 5,600 people five countries showed that Chinese people are the second worst tourists. The worst are American tourists.

Chinese always talk loudly in places like cafes and museums. They also spit (吐痰 ) and litter whenever they want and jump queues. Some Chinese tourists also like to write or draw pictures on famous buildings. In Singapore, Chinese tourists are fined( 罚款) because they were smoking in Non-smoking areas.

Some people may say that they can do everything that they want because they spend money in the country. In fact, this is not true. Besides enjoying ourselves, we should respect local customs and take care of the environment.
