When an Italian man went to work with a mask(口罩)to protect himself from the COVID-19(新冠肺炎), other people criticized(批评)him for" causing panic(恐慌)". But in China and other Asian countries,almost everyone wears a mask during outbreaks. Why do the East and the West have different ideas about wearing masks?
In the West, people wear masks only when they get sick. If a person goes out with a mask, other people may look at him like a virus(病毒)spreader. Even their friends tried to stay away from them. Some Western people say wearing a mask in public makes them feel "worried", "shy", and" afraid of being looked at differently". But as the number of COVID-19 cases(病例)keeps growing around the world, more and more healthy people are starting to wear masks to protect themselves.
In Asian countries like China and Japan, wearing masks is common. During the 2003 SARS, people used masks widely in China and East Asia. Many Chinese also wear masks to keep warm in winter or protect against air pollution. In Japan, some young women may wear masks when they don't have their makeup on. Many pop stars in Asia also wear masks to protect their privacy. when they go out. This cultural background has made it easier for people in the East to wear masks during the COVID-19 outbreak.

b. cover their mouths

My dear teacher, I had a fight with my parents yesterday. I upset and unhappy now. I just can't understand parents are always asking" Why don't you finish your homework? ""Why couldn't you just get good grades? "I feel so nervous I can't get enough sleep and my hair turns white. I know importance of study because it can make a difference to my life. But it is not to just get good grades at school. Kids these days have too stress at school. We have to do chores and take care ourselves. So why couldn't parents make relaxed on weekends and anyway it is very common that our grades drop sometimes, right? I know it is very important to communicate with our parents, but I don't how to do it. Could you please give me some?
Dear Sir, I'm in Grade 8 from No. I Middle School. I began to help out chores when I was in primary school. I think its very important for teenagers to do so because these days we need all-round development. We can learn a lot of living skills by doing chores. I live in the dormitory at school now. Those skills help me take good care of myself. When I come back home from school on weekends, I always help my parents if they need my help. I believe that doing chores helps to develop children's independence. Nancy |
Dear Sir, I don't think we should depend on our parents too much because we shall live on our own one day. I sometimes help with chores at home. I think we should share the responsibility(责任)with our parents. I hate some chores while I like others. I hate washing clothes because it's boring. Of all the chores,I like cooking best. I can not only cook the food I like,but also make a big meal for my parents. It's a happy moment for me to watch my parents eat the food I cook. Betty |
