I am really enjoying my trip to the UK!Staying with Aunt Mary has been great fun.Yesterday, I learnt a lot about manners here. It was Aunt Mary's birthday yesterday so we went to a very famous restaurant in London.
Aunt Mary told me to wear smart clothes and shoes, because the restaurant had a“dresscode”. That means you can only eat there if you are wearing smart clothes! The restaurant is one of the most popular in London, so we had to queue(排队等候) for about ten minutes. British people do not mind standing in queues.
The menu was in French, not English! However, the waiter was very polite and friendly. He told me what the dishes were and helped me choose something. There were three different types of knives and forks to eat with. You must start with the knife and for k from the outside first. After the main course(主菜), we also enjoyed some dessert which is a kind of sweet food eaten at the end of a meal, such as pudding,ice-cream, pancakes and so on. When we finished, we put the knife and fork next to each other in the middle of the plate.
The food was very delicious. After the meal, Uncle John paid for the meal and left the waiter a“tip”. This is some extra money for good service.
It was such a treat to visit such an expensive restaurant. I am very lucky! Manners here can be very different from those at home. However, I know that not every restaurant in the UK is like that. You may see people eating with hands in some fast food restaurants.

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines. There was no modern medicines, either.
However, life today has new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution.Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily.
Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt(被子) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾).
Many countries are making rules to stop pollution. Now factories must clean their water before they pour(倾倒) it into the river, and they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air. We need to do many other things. We can put waste(废弃的) things in the dustbin(垃圾箱) and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. (68) The fewer people drive, the less pollution there will be.
Rules are not enough(足够的). We should try our best to stop pollution.
