I’m Katie Alice Anderson. Katie is my first name, Alice is my middle name and Anderson is my family name. Many people in the UK have a first name, a middle name and a family name. Our parents pick the first name and the middle name for us. But do you know how we English people get our family names in history?
Some people get family names from their father’s names. For example, “Jackson” is the son of Jack and “Robinson” is the son of Robin. Some people’s family names come from the places of their homes. Garcia is the name of a place in Spain (西班牙), so Mr. Garcia’s family may come from the place. Some family names come from a person’s job. If a man is a cook, his family name may be Cook.

【推荐2】Around the world, people have different traditions and manners when it comes to dining. It’s important to respect these customs.
●Tipping (给小费)
Not all countries expect you to leave a tip after a meal. In fact, in Japan it is seen as rude behaviour. Waiters or waitresses in some Chinese restaurants are even not allowed to get tips. However, in other countries like France and Italy, people usually leave tips for the service they have received.
●Utensils (用具)
In Japan and China, you should never stand chopsticks in rice. In India, utensils aren’t always provided. You ought to eat a meal with your right hand, as the left is considered unclean. Thai restaurants will often provide customers with a fork and a spoon—they use the fork to push food onto the spoon instead of eating directly from it.
●Slurp (发出响声)
People in many western countries will never slurp during a meal, but in some places slurping is allowed. In Japan, slurping soup and noodles straight from the bowl is perfectly acceptable and making noise shows the hostess that you are enjoying your meal.

【推荐1】Have you ever been to the Window of the World, a theme park in Shenzhen?
This is certainly a theme park unlike any other. The Window of the World covers 480, 000 m2 and it has over 130 replicas (复制品) of the most famous natural and man-made sites in the world. Some of the replicas are as big as the real ones while others are smaller. In one day, you can visit many famous places of interest, like the Eiffel Tower and the Grand Canyon. That’s really amazing.
“Here visitors can see and experience places and cultures they may not be able to get to see in person. Not everyone can visit every famous landmark (地标) in the world in a lifetime and that is why this park is attractive to many visitors,” said one worker of the park.
The Window of the World theme park is both interesting and educational. There are shows about famous people in history, and the park often holds festivals on different cultural themes. “This week we are holding Indian Week. Visitors can learn about Indian culture. We are offering Indian food all week and there is also a special show on famous Indians in history,” said another worker of the park.
