Dear Mr. Green,

I’m sorry to trouble you. You know there will be many exams in Grade Nine . But it seems that everything goes wrong with me. I can’t sleep well at night and I can’t listen to the teachers carefully. I am always worried about my grades. I know it is not good to do so, but I can’t control myself. What should I do ?

Write to me soon. Best wishes to you!

Doing the Right Things in Britain

1.      

When you stop a stranger in the street to ask for directions, start by saying “Excuse me….”Also, you should say “Please” when you ask for something, and “Thank you” when people give you something.

2.      

Smile when you talk to people in shops, restaurants and on public transport, and they will probably smile back.

3.      

Don’t sit or stand too close to people you don’t know. Britain people don’t often touch each other, and usually say “Sorry” when they touch someone by mistake.

4.      

Don’t ask personal questions like “How old are you?”, “How much do you weigh?” or “Are you married?” You can talk about the weather, or recent TV programs, or football matches.

5.      

Make sure when to meet someone before you go to his home. It’s unusual to call on someone when he isn’t expecting you.

I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.

“Which one of you did this?”

We all looked down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. I was very frightened. I hope no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so scared. When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, dad.” The other denied(否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us must have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find courage to tell the truth.

To find out who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I tried my best to write the words differently. I didn’t want dad to be able to tell it was me.

He gathered up our paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will say yes, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!

“I did it.” My sister walked forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. she was punished for a month.

We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry because of it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me. I told myself, “One must see to what he or she has done.”
