I walked to him and told him that the seat was mine. He said with a smile, “Oh, sorry. My seat is next to yours. Would you like to take that seat and leave this one to me?”

I looked at his seat. It was broken and had no back, so I disagreed. But he still wanted to change our seats. I was   ①   and said loudly, “I don’t want to do that. Are you trying to bully (欺负) me as a soldier?” After   ②   this, the soldier stood up and moved to his seat.

Then I saw my seat was much worse than his seat. There was only a piece of wood (木头) left. It would be very uncomfortable to sit on it. Now I knew why the soldier wanted to change his seat with me. I felt very sorry. The soldier again asked me to take his seat, but I didn’t do that. I sat on the piece of wood till the film finished.

Sometimes, even the best friends have fights. They disagree with each other and begin to argue. Sometimes, they even stop talking to each other. What can be done to help the two friends make up? Finding a good friend who knows both of them very well to be a peacemaker is a good way. Maybe one day you will be a peacemaker for your good friends. Here are some useful communication strategies for you to use.

State your feelings clearly but don’t criticize them. Begin with “I feel” instead of “You always…”.

Look the other person in the eyes when you are talking.

Ask questions to make sure that you understand them.

Repeat the other person’s ideas as you understand them.

Never put anyone down. Saying things like “You’re stupid” makes communication difficult.

There are many unusual hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice, open between April and December every year. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel with a television, furniture, and a bathroom in each room. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometers. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks (块) of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the hotel’s bar.
The sun heats the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has 12 rooms. A single room costs＄40 a night, and a double room costs＄60.
A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, “ Please don’t lick the walls-it doesn’t taste good!”
