I arrived in the UK last weekend to lean English. So far I have already had a few friends and had some traditional English food here. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, l thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite—huo guo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn't see any sign of huo guo. Where was it? With many questions in my mind, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, l got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huoguo is written in two words——hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot at a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huo guo, hot pot, two words!

It's also polite to shake hands with strangers.
Secondly, we often need to take some useful things with us. They usually include pens, special maps, cameras and so on. we can write down the crucial(关键的)words about the place, then we can show them to the strangers who want to ask for help. Of course, the cameras can help us find our correct way. then we can show the pictures about it to the stranger when asking for directions.
All above is polite or useful way to ask for the correct way or place.
A. Sometimes a pen can help us get to the right place.
B. In the USA, people also use it in many different situation.
C. We can use a mobile phone to help us.
D. After we know how to get to the final place, we should say "Thanks" to others. E. Before we go to a strange place, we can take some photos about it,
F. Here are some tips提示how to ask for the way politely.
Should students be allowed to decide the subjects taught in schools? Different people have different ideas about this question.
In some people's opinion, kids have the right to make decisions for (they). It's the21st century. Kids have many ways to get knowledge iPads, cell phones, computers, the Internet and so on. So a ten-year-old kid (know) what he is really interested in and good at already. This is also an important life skill that kids will need when they get older. This will make students (true) think about their future and improve their marks.
However, some other people disagree with them. They believe kids should not choose their own subjects. They should manage (learn) a bit of everything, or they won't be (success) in the future. Basic subjects such as English, math and science are very important when finding jobs. kids are allowed to make their own decisions, they may give up those basic subjects. What's worse, they may (influence) by the people around them and sometimes they even make some wrong (choice).
To give every kid a better (educate), we should take this question seriously. Everyone should think carefully before making the decision.
