When you want to ask your teacher a question during class，what do you do？Do you simply shout out your question as soon as it enters your mind？Or do you raise your hand and wait until the teacher calls your name？
If you politely raise your hand first，it's probably because your teacher has a rule that regulates （规定） what you are allowed to do when you have a question.Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone can simply talk whenever they want during class？Instead of a peaceful learning environment，a classroom without rules would be chaotic （混乱的）!
When you learn to drive，you'll realize how many rules you have to follow.The rules for driving share a common purpose （目的） with many rules you must follow in your daily life to keep you safe.As an ancient Chinese saying goes， " No rules，no standards." If you make a list of the rules you follow each day，you will quickly realize how many of them can keep you safe and make your life more enjoyable as a result.
Although sometimes you feel like a rule is unjust （不公平的），don't break it.Instead，decide what you can do to change the rule.Working within the rules to change the rules is what you need to do.

In China，people are supposed to shake hands when they meet for the first time.（中国人第一次见面时握手）If you are invited to their homes，you should remember some taboos.【高分句型一】You can bring some fruits.But don't bring a clock as a gift.It sounds like "death" in Chinese.Flowers are a good choice except chrysanthemums，because they are used for the people passed away.【高分句型二】（去别人家做客的注意事项：不能送钟，不能送菊花）When you are at the dinner table，try to use chopsticks.Don't point at others with the chopsticks or stick them into the rice.You'd better not talk when your mouth is full.（餐桌礼仪的不同：我们用筷子就餐；就餐时不能用筷子指着别人；就餐时不可以多说话等）
I hope these advice is helpful for you.Looking forward to your arrival.
Yours，
