Starting a book club is easy— all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start. When you set up your club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family or those you know through kinds of activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many people make the discussions difficult.
Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—-usually club members meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to remind(提醒) them of the meeting time. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.
Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants— all the public(公共的) places can be meeting places. For many clubs, meeting at home works best because you don’t have to get dressed up, and homes are quiet. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation(谈话).
Please don’t forget the most important thing— the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Your club can decide on books in different ways. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.
After you decide all this, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.

“Life is speeding up(加快速度). Everyone is getting unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person wrote it.
Inventions can change our lives. But have all these things really improved our lives? Imagine this.
You’re doing your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings and the noise from the television are getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer is turned off and you lose all your work. How do you feel? Inventions have speeded up our lives, but they often leave us feeling tired.
One family in England went “back in time” to see what life was like without these inventions. The grandparents, with their daughter and grandsons Ben 10 and Tom 7, spent nine weeks in an old house.

She cooked delicious food for them!

If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It can save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook. One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from a table, and suddenly a snake appeared and bit him on the hand. A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish. “I tried to pick it up and it bit me. I threw it away, but it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door.” Jackson said. Anyway, Jackson was cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was. Then Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day. “So my advice is this: If a snake bits you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then call the hospital. Show the photo to the doctors,” suggests Mr. Jackson. “Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry!”

On the first day of the New Year 2017, I make up my mind to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer(志愿者). At the beginning, all I care about is travelling and seeing the world. I don’t know how wonderful my life will be in the coming months!
My journey begins with the TESOL certification (认证) lessons in my home state of Florida last February.
After 3 weekends of study and another 40 hours’ study online, I get my TESOL certificate(证书). I finally fly to Thailand in early April and I can’t wait to visit this country.
After a few weeks of travelling alone, I meet Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It is great to meet other people who are on the same journey as me. After that, I go to the seminar (研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I go to my employment school—Anuban Buriram Primary School.
I truly love my job— I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest kids in the world. It’s a truly wonderful thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else’s life.
The city Buriram is small, with green rice fields. People here are friendlier than anyone I’ve ever met. Everyone you meet is so glad to say “Hello” and “Good morning”. I’ve been taken out to dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and even a motorbike, and I am given the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay(回报) them in the future.
