When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and

they taught me about China. One day the topic mentioned to  saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students  had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.”

“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.

“How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their  moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their  earning. I was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read us as “I  love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that  getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their  love.

I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I  repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get  different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with  their moms.

One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home  from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her.  This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone  I have more time to myself, I noticed that in some places mothers and  children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would  begin hugging you.”

In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we  often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,  it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a word of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially  if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love.

Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants.

As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. 3 Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.

  During the 600s B.C, people began using coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their won coins.

  The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s.  4 However, European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.

  Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
