Dear Mom,
I’m sorry that I can’t go back home for Mother’s Day next week. On that day, I’ll have to go to an important meeting for my boss, who helps me a lot with my work and life here. But I’ll find time to see you at home soon.
Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for Tim and me. After Dad died ten years ago, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night. But you always gave us two your love and care. Though you don’t have to work now, I still remember your coming home late and feeling tired many evenings.
Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home. I’m glad you won’t live by yourself anymore. Let’s plan to take a trip in the near future. It’s been years since the three of us took a trip together.
Happy Mother’s Day. I love you, Mom.
Best wishes,
John

We often hear people say that “When I was a child…” “Ten years ago…” “When I was in school…” It seems that people like talking about the past a lot. You may be not interested in their past, but they are so generous to share it with you. Why do people like to think of the past?
Once I visited Uncle Luo, a friend of my father. I found he liked to share his past time with others very much. He always talked about the life in the army when he was young. There were many interesting things, and also some sad things. He was so happy to talk about them. He enjoyed his time in the army. Talking about the memories made him excited. He told me he learned a lot in those days. They made his life colorful. I am so glad to be his listener.
Sometimes the memories are happy, and sometimes they are sad. But the memories people would like to share are all unforgettable to them.

Bill and Jill were going to visit Da-wei and Li-hua Wu in Taiwan for several days. Before they left America, Bill and Jill tried to learn about Chinese food and Taiwanese ways of doing things. They wanted to be polite. They learned that most people in Taiwan eat rice, drink tea, and take off their shoes when they go into a friend's apartment. Bill and Jill even learned to use chopsticks.
At the same time, Da-wei and Li-hua learned about American food and American ways of doing things. They wanted to be friendly. When Bill and Jill came to the Wu's house, Da-wei and Li-hua told them to keep their shoes on. Later they went out for dinner. They ate pizza and drank Coke. The next few days, they had breakfast in a coffee shop and ate hamburgers in a fast-food restaurant.

Body language is an important part of communication. If you want to communicate well, it’s important to understand how you can (and can’t) use your body language to say what you mean, especially when you’re in a foreign country.
If a person is bored, he won’t look at the person who is talking to him. He will find other things to do. He may also keep looking at his watch or a clock. If a person is open to you, his arms and legs will not be crossed. And if a person is relaxed, you will know it by looking at his body, even his breathing is slower.
Here are some examples of body language.
Body language
Feeling
Sitting with legs crossed
Bored
Sitting with legs apart
Open, relaxed
Walking with hands in pockets, head down
Sad
Hand to cheek
Think about something
Hands clasped behind back
Angry
