When I was in school, I got into an argument (争吵) with a boy in my class.

I thought that “I” was right and “he” was wrong— and he thought that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson.

She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. There was a large round object on her desk. It was black. But when she asked the boy, he answered,“white.”

I couldn’t believe it! Another argument started, this time about the color of the object.

The teacher told us to change our places. Then she asked me“What color is the object?” I had to answer“White.”It was an object with two differently colored sides. From his side it was white. From my side it was black.

Sometimes we need to stand in other persons’ shoes and look at the problem through their eyes.

What will our homes be like in the future? Here are some predictions(预测).

Do you want to take a shower when you get home? You’ll be able to let your smart water heater (热水器) start heating up when you’re on your way home.

Did I turn off the oven? Did I close the window? Everyone may have a moment like that. But in the future, your home will check these for you.

In your home of the future, all of your devices can work together to make your life more comfortable. When you turn on the lights in the morning, your windows will open at the same time. The lights will slowly turn off by themselves after the sun appears.

Your home may have dangers. The hackers(黑客) could open your door and cause a mess at your home through your phone or other devices. Your home will tell you about it but you can’t arrive in time. So people should be careful of their personal information.

When you have a dinner party, what should you do? The following will help you.

Try to open the door for each guest. If someone else answers the door, go to welcome your guests as soon as you can. Always offer to take their coats and ask, “Would you like me to take your coat?”

People often bring gifts like flowers or chocolates to a dinner party. Be ready to receive(接受) the gifts if they do. Get a vase so that you can put the flowers in water.

Never leave a guest unattended(无人照料的), especially when there is only one guest! If there is more than one, they can talk to each other.

If the party is at home, a good idea is to have a toilet sign for people who don’t know your house.

If the party is somewhere else, like a restaurant, try not to be too loud, because not everyone in the restaurant is at your party.

Healthy eating is important to us. What and how should we eat to be healthy?

First, we must have enough food, never too much or too little. The food must be clean and we should cook it properly.

Second, it’s very important for us to keep a balanced diet. Different kinds of food are necessary, such as rice, bread, meat, fish, eggs, milk, fruit and vegetables. Rice and bread give us energy. Meat, fish, eggs and milk help our bones grow. Fruit and vegetables make us healthy.

Third, we should eat regularly. It’s said that half of the students don’t have a regular breakfast or don’t eat anything at all in the morning. It’s bad for their health. In fact, a good breakfast keeps us strong.

In short, we should not only eat enough food and healthy food but also eat regularly.
