When you sleep somewhere else—like at a summer camp or a friend’s house you’re in for a fun time. It can be exciting to get away from the same old bed in the same old room in the same old house. 1. It’s called being homesick.

Homesick means you are upset, sad, and maybe scared. But don’t feel surprised. A lot of people get homesick, even grown-ups. When you’re used to having certain people around you, it can be scary when they are gone. 2. Some kids may feel more homesick than usual if their parents get divorced (离婚) or if someone they loved has recently did.

Here are some ideas to help you feel less homesick.

3. If you’re going away from home, bring your pillow or pictures of the people you will be apart from and look at them any time you want.

Keep busy. The more fun things you do, the less time you’ll have to feel homesick. 4.

Stay in touch. You can make a plan for when you will call your mum or dad. You can also send e-mails or text messages to keep in touch with family and friends. When you do get in touch with someone, make sure to talk about the fun things you’re doing!

In the eyes of many Westerners,Chinese are the best hosts but the worst guests in the world.This is probably because the guest-host relationship in China is much different from that in some Western countries.

In China,guests are almost like gods.Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home,there is always fruit on the table for me,and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.In the West,things are different.Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

And there are lots of things Westerners find difficult to adapt to.For example,my mother-in-law doesn't smoke,so when I see some of her guests smoking in her house,I as a non-smoker,would feel unhappy.Usually I want to stop them directly.But I must realize that,to be a good host in China,she mustn't do that.However,in most North America homes,you should not smoke.If you really want to smoke,you could ask,“Is it OK if I smoke?”But don't be surprised if you get a “no”.In our culture,it's not considered rude at all. 

In China,you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host,and Chinese are naturally very good hosts.But if Western hosts invite you to their house,try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
