　　On September 4th of 2004 my American friend Jon Hageseth took me to the airport in La Crosse, Wisconsin to fetch a new suitcase．To show my thanks, I treated him and his wife with a Mexican lunch on the way back．After we enjoyed the delicious food, I paid the bill and went towards the car, but just when everyone was seated, Jon’s wife Cathy returned to the restaurant．I felt puzzled．Upon her return, she said, “You were clever not paying the tip, so I had to go back to pay it．”I felt so embarrassed that I lost no time to apologize, explaining that there is no such a practice in China．In fact, I don’t take the tipping issue seriously although I am aware of such a practice in the US．

　　Another day in September, I dined with one of my American colleagues at a Buffet Restaurant．On finishing the meal I began searching my wallet for small notes．“What are you doing, Zhao Qi?” my colleague asked．“To pay the tip of course．”My colleague burst into laughter, “You don’t have to．”“Why?” I asked and recalled my previous embarrassing experience in the Mexican restaurant．And then she told me that it’s unnecessary to pay tips at any kind of self-service restaurants, but we have to pay tips only in restaurants where services are provided．I still did not get a clear picture of this issue．Seeing my puzzlement, she offered me some good advice on the situation I should give the tip．

　　In her opinion, tipping plays an important role in US economy and acts as an unavoidable part of American’s daily life．The following are a few facts about tipping taken from various university and market-research studies．

　　1．People eating at restaurants in the US pay about ＄16 billion a year in tips．

　　2．Waiters and waitresses who wait on tables receive much higher tips than those who don’t．

　　3．Waitresses who add a “smile” face to their bills see their tips increase about 5％．Men who do the same watch theirs drop 3％．

　　4．94％ of Americans-regularly tip when eating out．

　　According to my own experience and those various studies, I may conclude that tipping reflects a kind of good manners and appreciation, not as simple as we imagine．

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?

Listen—Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.

Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.

Be there for them—Be there for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control, but if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!

_________—Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!
