When the York, Pennsylvania, second-grader noticed that some of his schoolmates didnt have anyone to play with during the break time, he came up with a way to help them. He suggested having something called a “buddy bench” put in on his schools playground.A buddy bench is a special bench where students can sit if they are feeling bored or lonely. Its usually brightly colored with “BUDDY BENCH” in big letters. Other students can then go to the bench and ask them if they would like to play or talk.“We show we care about others when we ask others to play,” Christian told reporters.Christian first learned about buddy benches when his family was considering moving to Germany. He saw a buddy bench in a handbook for a German school and thought it would be a great way to fight loneliness on the playground at his own school, Roundtown Elementary School.Christian told Roundtowns headteacher, Matthew Miller, about his idea at the end of last school year. Miller immediately decided to get a buddy bench. He had Christian pick out its style and bright colors.“I was the first person who got to sit on the bench when it arrived at Roundtown,” says Christian. He hopes the bench will help “grow our dream circle of friends”.23 . Christian Bucks suggested having a buddy bench to help _.Ahis teachersBhis studentsChis parentsDhis schoolmates24 .

I moved from a tiny city in England to one of the largest cities in the world.As the plane landed in Beijing, I felt excited that Id finally arrived after months of planning. One of the first things 1 did was visiting one of the citys hutongs(胡同).

It has one shopping street thats around 500 meters from one end to the other and on Sunday, all the shops close at 4:00 pm. There isnt a great deal of choice when it comes to restaurants, either, and as a fan of food, I couldnt wait to see what Beijing has to offer. I still dont have a favorite dish here yet. Im slowly getting used to the fast-paced(快节奏的) lifestyle and different way of life , but I still find some habits here quite strange and humorous .British people are raised to not make any sort of bodily noise at the dinner table or in public , so to hear the loud noise of Chinese diners or the throat-clearing(清嗓子) sounds of colleagues(同事) was a funny culture shock at first .Something else Ive discovered is the attention that being a foreigner brings. On the subway or in streets and restaurants, some people stare (盯着看) and try to take secret photos of me. It seems that I am a famous person or a popular star.In the future, I hope to see many other parts of China.
