The market in our town is very good. You can buy everything you want there. The prices are good. My friends and I like to go shopping together. It’s fun to go to the market and talk to people there. You can’t do that online. The market people know us, and so they give us a special price, or they give us something extra. For example, the price of a kilo of sausages is 38 yuan, but you can get some extra sausages. You don’t get extra at the supermarket!
When you see something expensive, you can ask for a different price. You ask “How much is this jacket?” The shopkeeper says. “It’s 200 yuan.” Then you say, “Oh, that’s too expensive! Can I have it for 140 yuan?” You put it down, and she says, “You can have it for 150 yuan.” That’s why I like shopping in the market.

【推荐2】Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3: 00”, that means you can arrive a little late after 3: 00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring
Often, it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolate for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A small present is a nice way to show your friend that it’s exciting for you to be at his house.
How to greet （问候）
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. This will show them more respect（尊敬）and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Also, it’s a good way of showing respect to call them Madam or Sir.
It’s a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Don’t forget to be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be a good visitor.

【推荐1】Stonehenge — Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is one of Brain’s most famous historical places and one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 75,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy.
“As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working and great planners!”
