Everybody staying at a certain place long enough needs to know where the toilet is . When I first visited the Divinity School Library in Yale University, I tried to find the 1 with words familiar to me such as WC, Ladies, Bathroom and Washroom, etc.I used all the 2 I had about toilets ,but I could not find 3 . My common sense told me that there 4 be toilets in the library, so I 5 trying Finally ,I found a door on which was a single 6 :WOMEN. 7 it did not look at all like a toilet, I thought it must be one. And because I couldn't 8 any longer, I had to try it .As I 9 the door, I was sure I made a 10 ,so I came out immediately. 11 what I had entered was a room much 12 than my living room in Beijing , with a 13 lamp by a table on a beautiful green carpet. On one 14 of the room, there was a very comfortable brown sofa. 15 it there was a mirror on the wall up to the 16 .There were two 17 sofas, by the side of the table. In one corner was a clothes hanger and in another 18 was a big pot of green plants.It 19 a big sitting room in a hotel .There was no sign of a 20 .But it was the only 21 place a toilet could be. Then I remembered that there was another door in the room , so I went back in and opened the door. And there it was ! I found it 22 ! The toilet room was only half the size of the outer room.It had only two seats. Then ,another question came to me :since it was impossible for such a big library to have only one toilet ,I had to ask someone about toilets. A “Rest Room”is also a toilet.The “rest room “had only one seat ,and both women and men could use it by 23 the door from inside.

The term “rest room” is miles apart from the Chinese 24 of a toilet. Here at Yale, when I use a “women”, I feel myself a queen.And when using a “rest room”, I do have a 25 of rest, because it is clean and has a window with a beautiful view.
