Everybody in the world has one name at least. And to each person his name is important because it is his own.
Remember how you don't like it very much if people can't remember your name, or pronounce it wrong? Remember how you like to see it printed in the newspaper or even on the blackboard at school? That's because it is your own and only you can have it.
Of course, names aren't important in themselves. There are no “good” names or “bad” names. But they are useful in our life. You don't have to go around shouting!
“Hey, You!”or “Hello. Girl-with-the-red-hair.”or “Thank you, Man-who-lives-at-the-end-of-the-street.” Wouldn't it be foolish?
A person's name means something. For example. John or Nathan means “present”. James or Jacob means “he follows after.” Frank means “free”. Charles has “strong” in meaning. Thomas is a word for “twin”. Girls'names mean something, too. If you know a Mary or a Miriam, her name means “star of the sea.” Helen means “light”. Rebecca, “very beautiful”. Rhoda is a “rose”.
Now first names are all we need when we've at home. For it isn't very often that two sisters or two brothers have the same first name. But it's different when you go out to play or go to school. You may have a lot of Johns and Davids and Sues. You could get all mixed up and not know who was who. That's why last names started. And last names are really nicknames(绰号).
It happened like this: There was a certain Richard. Since his father's name was James, he was called “Richard, son of James.” And later just Richard Jameson.
The place where they lived gave some people their last names. For example, Mr Short was talking about Joseph.
“Which Joseph?” someone might ask.
“Why, the Joseph who lives in the field.”
And right then that Joseph had a last name: Joseph Field. You can think of many more last names that started that way.

After reading John's and Nancy's articles on the website’ Schools Around the World’, Daniel writes about his school life and sends it to the website. Read his article.
Life in a Beijing schoolThe school
My name is Daniel. I am in Grade 8. This is my second year at secondary school. When we finish Grade 9, we have to take an exam to continue our studies. We go to school five days a week and have 7 chasses every day. We study Maths, Chinese and English. We also have other subjects, for example, Science, Geography, History and Computer Studies. Computer Studies is my favourite subject.
After-school activities
We have different clubs to join after school. Some clubs are for fun ,such as the Guitar Club, the Chess Club and the Basketball Club. Some clubs are for study, such as the Maths Club and the Geography Club. I am a member of the English Singing Club. It is fun to sing English songs.
Big brothers and sisters
We are in a mixed school with 1,800 students. Many new students need help to learn more about the new school. They may have problems with their new school life. When they have problems, they sometimes do not want to tell the teachers. They may feel better if they can talk to the older students. In our school, students in senior levels can join the Helping Hands Club. These big brothers and sisters talk to the new students and try to help them with their problems.
In China, everybody thinks going to school is very important. We are happy to be at school. And I should say, our school is the best!
