England is the biggest (最大的) part in the U.K. Many people in the U.K. live here. The weather of England is very changeable. In England, you can feel four seasons in one day. It can be sunny, rainy, or windy at any time of a day. It’s raining when you get up in the morning, but it can be sunny or windy in the afternoon. It is sunny when you get up, but when you go out, it can be rainy. So don’t forget to take an umbrella with you.

Banks and other places open from 10: 00 a. m. to 5: 00 p. m. If you want to go to the parks, you can get there at any time of the day.

2 . If you are in America or go to American families to have meals, you should learn some table manners (礼仪). Here are some tips:
Don’t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus (焦点) of the table. Everyone would wonder, “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a wrong message that you don’t like the food or something like that.
Don’t push the plate back when it is finished; leave it, where it was. Do you want to let the hostess (女主人) know that you’ve just done a labor?
Don’t lean (倚靠) back and say “I’m through” or “I’m full”. Just put the fork and knife across the plate. That’s all.
Don’t cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (块) at a time.
Never take a huge mouthful of (满嘴) anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don’t do that. It’s not so good.
It’s never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, could you pass me the dish?”

3 . November 9 is a time for us to learn a lot more about fire because it’s National Fire Prevention Day (消防日). This is what to do in a fire:
| 1. Shout out. Shout as loudly as you can, because people may be asleep. 2. Call 119. Never try to put out a fire yourself. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire. 3. Keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there, so it’s easier to breathe (呼吸) and see where you are going. 4. Test (检查) the door. If the door is cool, open it carefully. If the door is hot, do not open it! Try to find a different way out. 5. Get out. Do not stop to pick up anything. A fire can become very big in a few seconds! 6. Don’t use the lift. Always use the stairs (楼梯). The lift may go wrong and keep you inside. 7. Don’t go back. Even if you have left your pet or favorite toy inside, do not go back for it. Animals have a very good sense of smell. They often get out of buildings before people. |

4 . Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don’t wait until very late in everything, or your work will seem much harder than it really is.
If you have more than an hour’s work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don’t break it up so much, or you can’t finish anything, you should be able to work at least a half at a time without stopping.
Don’t put it off (推迟) until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you will not enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much work to do.
Do your homework at the same time every evening. This will help you make it a habit. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable, as well.

You must look at the right side first and then the left side, and then you can cross the street. If the traffic lights are on red, the traffic must stop. Then people on foot can cross the road. If the traffic lights are on green, the traffic can go. People mustn’t cross. When you take a bus in the U.K., you have to be careful, too. Always remember the traffic runs on the left. Have a look first, or you will go the wrong way. In many cities in the U.K., there are double-deckers (双层公共汽车). You can sit on the second deck. It’s a good way to see the city. It’s very interesting.

6 . Saying “I am sorry” means apologizing. It is not always easy to apologize to someone, but it can help make things better.
Sometimes we do things we should not do. You might fight with a friend and say bad things to her. You might break a rule at school. When you know you did something wrong, apologizing is the right thing to do.
Sometimes accidents happen.You might step on someone’s foot by accident. It is still a good idea to apologize. You can apologize like this, “I wish that did not happen”.
Sometimes you do not start the conflict (纠纷). You might get angry and throw your classmate’s book down the hall if he says something bad to you. You might think, “I did not start it,so I don’t have to apologize.”The student was wrong to say bad things to you, but it's not right for you to throw his book. You should also apologize for what you did wrong.
Apologizing when you aren’t sorry does not help much. Take some time to calm down and think about what happened. Then try apologizing. You will feel better about yourself and you will know you did the right thing. So, apology can make the world harmonious(和谐).
