Do you know how to talk to others politely in English? Have a look at the following.

Could you give me five minutes? VS Go away.

You’re really busy, but your classmate needs your help. When you’re busy and can’t help him or her, you can’t say “Go away”. And you can say, ”Could you give me five minutes?”

Excuse me. VS Move

Telling someone to move out of the way is very rude(无礼的). When someone is in your way, you should say “Excuse me”.

I’m afraid I can’t. VS No

It can often be difficult to decline an invitation from a friend. Saying “No” would be impolite. It’s a good idea to say,” I’m afraid I can’t.” if you have to say no to an invitation.

Would you mind…? VS Stop it!

If someone is doing something rude, would you like them to stop? You shouldn’t say, “Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!” You can say, “Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?”

There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) is in them. More than700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.

The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are usually good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent(阻止) flood(洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.

Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize(意识到) the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.
