A small man goes to the cinema. He buys a ticket and goes in. But after two or three minutes he comes out. He buys a second ticket and goes in again. After a few minutes he comes out again and buys a third ticket. Two or three minutes after that, he comes out a third time and asks for another ticket. But the girl says to him, "Why are you buying all these? Are you meeting friends in the cinema all the time?"
"No, I'm not doing that." the small man says, "But a big woman always stops me at the door and tears(撕掉) my tickets up."
Dear David,
How are you? I'm fine. I'm in London, at the International (国际的) School of English. I'm in Class 3 with eight students. They're from different countries — Spain, Japan, Argentina, Switzerland and Thailand. Our teacher's name is Henry Briscall. He's very nice. He's a very good teacher.
I'm living with an English family. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have three children. Thomas is fourteen, Catherine is twelve, and Andrew is seven. They are all very friendly.
London is very big and interesting. The weather is good, cold but sunny. English food is OK, but the coffee is terrible!
Write to me soon.
Paul
We have three meals a day. In the morning, we have breakfast. It is at about 6 or 7 o'clock. Breakfast should be good. We can have milk, eggs, and other things. Some students often have no breakfast. It is very bad for their heath. In China, lunch is the main meal of the day. It is at about 12 o'clock. It is a big meal. There are often three or four dishes. We should be full after lunch. We usually have supper at about 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. We should have a small supper. But in England， people call the main meal dinner. It often means supper.
It was a beautiful spring（春天） morning. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was warm but not too hot. So Mr. Andrews was surprised when he saw an old man at the bus-stop with a big umbrella in his hand.
Mr. Andrews said to him, “Do you think it's going to rain today?”
“No,” said the old man, “I don't think so.”
“Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?”
“No, the sun is not very hot in spring.”
Mr. Andrews looked at the big umbrella again, and the man said, “I am an old man, and my legs are not very good, so I really need a walking-stick (拐杖). But people will say, 'Look at that poor old man', and I don't like that. When I carry an umbrella in fine weather, people only say, 'Look at that stupid（愚蠢的）man'.”
Chinese schools are very different from British schools. In Britain（英国）, students have fewer classes t in China. In Britain, classes s at about 9:00 a.m. and finish at about 3:30 p.m. British students also have (little) homework than Chinese students. This gives British students (much) free time to go to school clubs.
In Britain, students (usual) wear a skirt or trousers, a jacket and a tie. Some people think this (look) very smart, but others don't think their(uniform) look very nice. In Britain, students study the subjects as in China. Just like in China, different (student) have different opinions（观点）about schools in Britain. Some students think that school is very (interest), but some students think it is very boring.
