English people and Chinese people are different(不同的)in many ways(很多方面). For example(例如), English names are different from Chinese names.
Many English people have three names, a first name (a given name), a middle name and a last name (or a family name). For example, my name is James Allen Green. James is my first name. Allen is my middle name. Green is my last name. We don’t use(使用)Mr., Mrs., Ms. or Miss before(在……之前)the first names. We should(应当)use them before the family names.
But in China, people use Mr., Mrs., Ms. or Miss before their first names, because(因为)the first name is the family name. For example, my name is Lin Tao. “Lin” is my family name, and “Tao” is my given name.

【推荐2】It is a good idea to make a list(清单)before you go food shopping. Some people do not like to make a shopping list because it takes time. However, there are many reasons why you should make one.
First, a shopping list helps you to save time. ① For example, you could write down all the fruit and vegetables in one column(栏). In the next column, you could write down all the meat. Do the same for other food. Planning your list well will help you shop faster.
Second, a shopping list helps you not to forget anything. ② You would not want to get home from the store and find you didn’t buy something you needed. A shopping list helps you to remember everything you want to buy.
A shopping list can also help you to save money. Without a list, you might not remember whether you have enough milk at home. You might buy the milk because you think you don’t have any. ③ When you get home, you would see you already(已经)have a full bottle of milk. Then the extra milk might go to waste(被浪费掉). If you make a list, you will not buy the things you do not need.
Though it will take you a few minutes to write out a shopping list, it is worth(值得)your time. ④
