England is very different from . The weather is terrible and it rains a lot. The

buildings are funny. They are in rows and not high. I love them because the rooms are much larger. I'm having a wonderful time at my new school and my new home!

Mum and Dad are happy with their new jobs. But my brother Jack doesn't think so because he misses his friends so much.

I've made lots of new friends at school. My teachers are really nice and my English has improved a lot.

toys. The mother asked for the price and it was only one dollar. The mother pulled out a 10 dollar note from her purse and told the young man that she was giving him a 10 dollar note and wanted the change（零钱）back. I was wondering how he was going to give it back. He told the mother to put the money in the bag around his neck and take out the change herself. She then took out 9 dollars.

I know that this young man depended on trusting people. He couldn't know if someone took out more. I bought a toy from him that I didn't need. He said it cost a dollar and I told him that I had only a 10 dollar note. He told me to do the same thing. So I put my 10 dollar note in his bag. I put my hand in but did not take any change.

The world would be a better place if we could all learn to trust others more, like the young blind man.

How do you greet people in your country? In the UK, a handshake has been the traditional way to say hello. But this seems to be changing.

According to a new survey（调查）, many British people now consider handshaking is \"formal（正式的）, outdated\" or \"unclean\". The study of 1,005 people found that about one in five felt that shaking hands is too formal. About one third said they would never shake hands when greeting friends. About one in twelve said they preferred not to shake hands so that germs can't be passed on. However, 87 percent still believe a handshake should be used in business.

Psychologist（心理学家）Dr. Jane McCartney said, \"I think the handshake depends on age. The older you are, the more likely you will prefer the handshake. It's quite a formal introduction. So, it's quite nice that today's young people feel much more social.\"
