Do you know something about the Akuapem people? They live in eastern Ghana (加纳), where the sunshine hugs all the time. They are very friendly. Now let’s have a look at how the Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, for the host (主人) thinks that the visitor must have come from a very long trip and is in need of water. Then the host family greet the visitor by saying “Akwaaba.” More interestingly, if there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because the left hand is regarded dirty according to the Akuapem people.
Next, the visitor is asked how his trip was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and children, especially girls, are cooking food for the visitor. The visitor can choose the food. After the visitor has finished eating, the host and the visitor continue their conversation. Usually this is a short one since the visitor is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food to take along. He is also accompanied (陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
No matter if he is a close friend or just a passer-by (过路人), this is always the way that the friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.

Dear friends,
Do you remember your first day at a new school or in a new area? How about the  31   when your family    32   to a new state? Ugh! What about the feelings of being a stranger?
Then, with time, you find someone who likes  33  you like.  Friends are great gifts in life. I have good friends too,  but not because they are completely(完全的)   34 .Sometimes they talk too much; sometimes they need me a lot. I know I ask too much of them. I hope my friends, like my father,   35  about me a lot.
I once told my friends to give me all their love and be generous and gentle. I told my friends, in other words, to love me    36  I loved them.
They didn’t   37  me at first, but then they became kinder. My love for them slowly made them learn to  38  friends. They learned to love others and   39   the idea that LOVE is part of life.
If we listen to and try to understand each other, love    40   .We should work on it, even if it’s hard at first. A true friend loves US at all times.
Your friend,
Jesus

Dear friends,

    Do you remember your first day at a new school or in a new area? How about the  31   when your family    32    to a new state? Ugh! What about the feelings of being a stranger?

    Then, with time, you find someone who likes  33  you like.  Friends are great gifts in life. I have good friends too,  but not because they are completely(完全的)   34  .Sometimes they talk too much; sometimes they need me a lot. I know I ask too much of them. I hope my friends, like my father,   35   about me a lot.

    I once told my friends to give me all their love and be generous and gentle. I told my friends, in other words, to love me    36   I loved them.

    They didn't   37  me at first, but then they became kinder. My love for them slowly made them learn to  38   friends. They learned to love others and   39   the idea that LOVE is part of life.

    If we listen to and try to understand each other, love    40   .We should work on it, even if it's hard at first. A true friend loves US at all times.

Your friend,

Jesus
