When a woman took the seat beside me on a plane, I felt uncomfortable. She had to lower herself slowly, trying her best to fit into the small space.

“My name is Kelly. I’m from Canada. Where are you from?” She said as she waved to me. “China,” I said as I shook her hand reluctantly (不情愿地).

Kelly kept talking to me. She was very thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals, she made sure that I had enough room in my seat.

“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said sincerely. I couldn’t help but let down my guard.

As we talked, I was surprised by what she said. She had read many books and was very smart. I asked her if she ever thought about losing some weight.(减肥)

“Aren’t you worried about the diseases that come with being overweight (超重) ?”

“Not at all. I eat healthy and walk regularly,” she said. “I believe in my heart, the people who get diseases are because they worry too much. But I never worry about my weight. I am free to be myself. As the saying goes: You’re free only if you’re comfortable with who you are!”

I suddenly realized that Kelly was the most beautiful and cleverest woman I had ever met in my life.

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People in many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that someone wants to walk past you without touching you. It's not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.
