My boss’s daughter was studying in the Philippines. He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her. He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.
After days of thinking, we agreed. He then brought her here and left after 3 days. I thought that my boss’s daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.
After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors. When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way. From then on, we experienced fights at home. There was a time when we didn’t talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us. What I hated most was that she didn’t care about other people’s feelings. She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn’t leave anything for us. So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.
The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us. I was wondering if she did this to her parents. We told this to her parents, but unfortunately I didn’t think that solved the problem. This situation lasted for almost 8 months. Our patience (耐心) was tested during that time.
We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not be enough. We even tried to understand her and adjust (调整) for her, but it didn’t work . I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.

The world’s tallest mountain is in need of spring cleaning. A team of mountaineers flew to Mount Everest today to clean up tons of trash that was left on the mountain by its climbers.
Mount Everest is located in the Himalayas, on the border of Nepal and China. It’s the tallest mountain in the world. Climbers first successfully reached the peak in 1953. Since then, thousands of people have climbed Everest, leaving their trash along its trails. This includes ropes, tents and empty oxygen bottles. Nepal requires Everest climbers to bring down everything they take up to the mountain, but trash from climbs before the rule took effect still remains on the mountain.
The mountaineers plan to bring down 11,000 pounds of trash from Everest this spring. This is the best climbing time before the summer rainy season begins. They will receive $1.40 for every kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) of trash they carry down the mountain.
Eco Everest Expedition organized the cleaning activity. This is the fourth year one has been held. Leading the team is Apa, a guide from Nepal who has climbed Everest a record 20 times since 1989.“I want to do this for my country, my people and for Everest,”Apa says.
Apa says that when he first began climbing Everest, the trail to the top was covered in ice and snow. But now the path contains bare rocks with deep cracks from melting ice. This makes climbing up the mountain more dangerous. Apa, who grew up in the foothills of Everest but now lives in the United States, often takes part in activities to save the mountain from the effects of global warming and other problems.
