These days, most people in the UK and the US wear informal(非正式的)clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.

Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on anything you like:from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, but you should look clean and tidy. But in the UK, as well as in the US, men in offices usual]y wear suits and ties and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers).

Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants, men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses.

In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women have to wear pretty clothes.

It is difficult to say exactly(确切地)what people wear in the UK and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You'll feel good if you don't look too different from everyone else.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, you should go to the London Zoo;if you think you are a wizard or witch(巫师), you should really go to the London Zoo. At the zoo, you can see the real scene of the first Harry Potter film and test yourself to see whether you have magic power(魔力)or not.

Today, the magical zoo is home to more than 12,000 animals, including Asian lions and South bears. There is a lot to do, plenty to see and much to learn. You can see jellyfish(水母)in the aquarium; you can watch penguins queue along the pool to jump into the water; you can try talking to snakes in the reptile house just like Harry Potter!

Now the zoo is trying to replace cages with enclosures(圈地)and is creating a natural environment for the animals and giving a more real experience to visitors. For example, in 2007, it opened the new “Gorilla Kingdom” to the public.

Growing up in England, the best thing for my classmates and I was reading stories. Among them, The Ugly Duckling(《丑小鸭》) was a popular one.

The story of The Ugly Duckling describes a poor young bird. All the ducks laugh at him for his ugly looks- he is small and grey. Feeling sad, he runs away from home. Along the way, he meets wild ducks and hens, but can't find a good friend. After lots of sadness and difficluty, the poor duckling looks down into a pond. He is shocked by his reflection(倒影) in the water. He finds that he has grown up to be a beautiful swan.

This children's fairy tale has been beloved for years. It's even been made into a musical and a Disney movie. Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen wrote it in 1843. The story teaches us many valuable lessons. For example, we should not judge(评价) a person by his or her looks. It is inner beauty that makes a person special.

The story's message is well-known around the world. Today, we use the phrase "ugly duckling" to describe something ugly that ends up becoming beautiful later.

In China, most students go to school by bike or by bus. If the school is not far, they usually walk to school every day. Few students are late for class. But things are different in other countries.

In many Western countries, students live far from their schools and they have different ways to get to school. Many students go to school by car. If there is an underground system(系统) in the city, they can go by underground(地铁). In some countries, there are double-deckers. The double-decker has two floors and it can carry more people. So some students can take a double-decker to school. Scooters(踏板车) are popular with students in some Western countries. If you don't need to take a bus to school, you can go by scooter. It makes your trip more interesting and exciting. In some cold countries, such as Finland and Iceland, it often snows. The students in towns may take a bus, but the students in villages far from the school have to go by sledge(雪橇) because there is snow everywhere. It takes a little longer. Sometimes, the students may be late for school. If it snows heavily, the students have to teach themselves at home.
