The class in America is almost the same as that in China. But something is different.

☆ In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat it. If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher you don’t know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.

☆ You mustn’t be absent on a test day. If you’re badly ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests (补考), you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school.

☆ Be on time! It is impolite to be late. If you come late, be sure to do it quietly. Take your books out of your bag after you go into the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the US, you needn’t knock at the door before you come into the classroom.

☆ If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too. There is no need to ask the teacher’s agreement.

Something caught my eyes when I was walking down the street. Two silver coins were shining in a melting(溶化) snow bank, so I dug(挖) through the snow looking for more. Of course, I just ended up with really cold hands. I slipped the two coins into my pocket and went home, colder but richer. I began to think about how to spend the money...

Two days later, Mary and her little sister were searching the snow banks. "Finders are keepers" was my first thought. I didn't want to hand them out even though Susy was already crying. " I dropped them right here," she said between tears. Her hands were cold and red for digging in the snow. Maybe they slid down the street with the melting snow. Let's dig over here." Mary's voice sounded confident.

"They'll never know" was my second thought, and I walked past them. " Phil, have you seen

two sliver coins?" asked Mary. Susy looked up from digging. Her eyes were hopeful.

"Tell a lie" was my third thought. "As a matter of fact," I hesitated(犹豫),“I dug two coins out of that snow bank just a few days ago. I wondered who might have lost them." Susy hugged me with a big smile, "Oh, thank you, thank you."

Do you love to travel and enjoy writing about your experiences? In fact, whenever we see something new, we wish to write it down in one form or another. We will be happier if we share our experiences with others. Then how can we write better travel stories? The following may be useful.

Memory and notes

Don’t believe your memory. You may have a good memory, but you cannot remember everything. You are seeing and hearing so much information while you’re on a trip. When you come back to write about your travel stories, you may forget something. So you should make notes, take photographs, and if possible, take videos. In this way, you can describe your travel and write it down without missing anything.

Photographs and your stories

Photographs are very helpful for you to remember what you have seen. As you see the photographs, you can describe your experiences easily by remembering the feeling when you took them.

When you are writing about your travel stories, make sure they are not too short as your readers may not get the full impressions of them and make sure they are not so long that the reader may get bored.
