Dear Wu Dong,
You wrote to ask me something about American social customs. It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a thank?you card the day after.

Brazil is beautiful and more than just football.How much do you know about Brazil? You might think of football, samba (桑巴)and the Amazon(亚马逊河).But there is a lot more to this country: its wonderful land, history and culture (文化).On September 7, 1822, Brazil won its independence (独立) from Portugal. So that day is Brazil's National Day (国庆日).It is the largest country in South America and has the second longest river in the world. It is called the Amazon. The river is 6,440 kilometers long and runs through the world's largest rainforest. The rainforest is home to between 800,000 and 5 million kinds of plants and animals. But be careful when you swim because the biggest snake, the Anaconda (大水蟒), and the most terrible fish, the Piranha(水虎鱼), live there!Brazilians love sports, especially football. Many great players were born in Brazil like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo. Football is played everywhere. It is so popular that schools and businesses close during their important matches!
The Brazilians also love dancing very much. The national dance is the samba. Samba is a very lively and fun dance. Every year in February or March, there is the Carnival (狂欢节). This is a time for parades (游行) and partying! People go out and dance in the streets! Dancers dress up in colorful clothes and go through the streets on big cars called floats(彩车). Tens of thousands of people watch the dancing.If you want to be part of the carnival, then find a chance to travel to Brazil!
