Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues for a meal at home.You should not be upset (心烦意乱) if your English friends don't invite you home.It doesn't mean they don't like you.
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p．m., and end at about 11 p．m.Ask your hosts what time you should arrive.It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.
Do you want to be extra (特别地) polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall.But remember—not to ask how much things cost.
You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a starter (开胃菜), then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert (甜食), followed by coffee.It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.Some people eat bread with their meal, but not everyone does.
Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal, most people usually ask, “Do you mind if I smoke here？”
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter.Perhaps it seems funny to you, but British and American people say “thank you, thank you” and “thank you” all the time.

They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home.
They have lots of exams to take.And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends.They don’t have their own time to do what they are interested in.Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted (近视).They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest.Some of them are crazy about playing computer games.Some spend too much time watching TV.Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat.They eat too much junk food.But they take little exercise.

If you lose 12 times, will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.
Carnegie was born in 1888 in the central United States. As a son of a farmer, the boy had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to milk the cows. When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary (普通的) looks. His mother encouraged him, “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”
Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate (辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 times. The young man was so disappointed in himself that he even thought of ending his own life for so many failures.
But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work brought good results at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech match and became widely famous.
The young man made his own words come true: “Believe that you will succeed, and you will.” In order to share his success, Carnegie started schools and wrote books. More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages. They are still helping people on the road to success.
