I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning．He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!"
Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep．I'm not at all like my brother．I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning．I usually wake up before my mother calls me．I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower．I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls．
But not Herbert．He just sleeps．A military band(军乐队)in our bedroom could not wake him up．I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!"
But he just sleeps．After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed．It's that way every day with my little brother．Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so．

Good afternoon.Welcome to England.We hope that your visit will be a pleasant one.Today I'd like to tell you something about a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking.Now you may not buy wine in this country if you are under 18 years of age,nor may your friends buy it for you.
The second one,noise.Enjoy yourselves by yourself,but don't make unnecessary noise,especially at night.We ask you to respect other people who may wish you be quiet.
The third one,crossing the road.Be careful.The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country.Use pedestrian crossing (人行横道) and don't take any chances when crossing the road.
My next point is about rubbish.It isn't lawful to drop rubbish in the street.When you have something to throw away,please put it in your pocket and take it home,or put it in a dustbin.
Finally,smoking.It is against the law to buy cigarettes if you are less than 16 years of age.
I'd like to finish by saying that if you need any kinds of help,you should contact the police.They will be glad to help you.You can call,write or go to ask any policemen.
