Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.
Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish ”“ I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day ” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards. I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch much more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.

七、Last Saturday, I took Peter, a student from America, to experience some Chinese culture. Everything he experienced that day was a great attraction to him.
In the morning, Peter and I went to visit a tea museum, where he learnt a lot about Chinese tea. After that, I took him home and taught him to make zongzi. Although it was a bit difficult, he still enjoyed it. In the afternoon, we had a Chinese class, learning the Chinese characters. He also tried to write some characters with a Chinese brush, and even lost himself in it.
Peter kept saying "amazing" all the way. It made me feel really proud of our rich culture.
