When I graduated from university, I decided to make my life a difference. I became a volunteer 1 and was sent to Ghana (加纳). So, 2 a group of helpful young volunteers, I went on my journey. I was very 3 this great chance.
The schools there were quite poor. The students had to walk miles to 4 their schools. They had lots of work at home. Though they had 5 days, these children were joyful.
This was my 6 time living abroad in a different culture. I had to get used to the

Whether you are teaching an elementary (初级的) Spanish class or passing on Spanish to your children, it is important to teach children good manners. And there are culturally appropriate (恰当的) behaviours that children need to know.
These five behaviours are considered good manners throughout Latin America. Of course, these are good manners in the US, too, but they are not given as much attention because the opposite behaviour is not considered particularly rude. In Spanish-speaking countries, however, the opposite behaviour is negative (负面的) and can change the impression people have of children (and adults)!
All of these good manners can be practised by children with different language levels.
Good manners to teach kids learning Spanish.
·When you hand something to someone, put it directly into his hand. Do not toss things at people.
·Keep your feet on the floor. Do not put your feet on chairs.
·When you move away from a group of people or leave room, say con permiso (对不起). Do not just walk away.
·If someone sneezes, say salud, which means “take care” in English.
·When you arrive, greet everyone. When you leave, say goodbye to everyone.
There are lots of resources for teaching children good manners in Spanish. Many polite behaviours also involve language. Here you will find resources for teaching polite expressions, including books and a song. There are also You Tube videos that teach polite behaviours.
In my experience, kids are interested in what is considered polite behaviour in different cultures, and they want to learn to act appropriately. We work hard teaching them to use Spanish. It is important that they also know how to interact (相互影响) so that others are comfortable and they can make the most of the language they have learnt.
( )1. Who is the passage written for
A. Children with different language levels.
B. Teachers who are teaching in the Spanish class.
C. Parents who care about their children's manners.
D. Travellers who will go abroad on holiday.

A. Jim keeps his feet on his friend's chair.
B. Jim leaves his classmate's party without saying anything.
C. Jim sneezes, and his friend gets angry with him.
D. Jim comes in and says good morning to his classmates.

There are many differences between American students and Chinese students, especially high school students. For example, in the US, high school usually ends at 4:00 p.m. But in China, school usually ends at five in the afternoon, but they'll study until 9:00 at night. 1.____________

Don't American students care about whether they can go to college or not Of course they do! But they have different ways. They have to do lots of extra-curricular (课外) activities, too.
