Have you ever been in a taxi when the driver always makes noises with the horn? You probably answer “Yes”, but have you ever tried to stop for a moment and listen to the silence? Probably not. Silence is a thing to which we pay little attention.Today many of us are too busy to appreciate the small things in life, including silence. With the development of economy(经济), we are surrounded (环绕) by noise and sometimes we cant realize how noise influences us, but it really changes how we talk and listen to each other. Because we are so used to noise, we forget to be thankful when there finally is no noise. Even when there is no noise we want to talk to fill up the silence. It seems funny that we are afraid of these moments when there is no talking, and we call for the awkward(尴尬的) noise because we feel unfortable. But in fact silence can be better than noise, and we need to appreciate it.Some of my friends asked why I didnt talk very much. In fact I like talking, but I dont like pushing away silence by talking because I appreciate the beauty of silence. I believe in what one of my friends ever said, “ Do not talk unless you can improve upon silence.” So next time when you are on a bus or in a taxi, remember to appreciate the silence you e across later in some day.6.

Traditionally, we eat dumplings, porridge and steamed buns. However, I usually, have bread and milk for breakfast, rice and fish for lunch and vegetables and fruits for dinner. We use chopsticks more instead of a knife and fork while eating. As for table manners, there are some dos and donts that you should pay attention to. Before eating, please wait until everybody is ready. While eating, sit straight and dont make any noise. Its impolite to talk with your mouth full and point at others with your chopsticks. The universal rule is to save food and do as Romans do! Best wishes, Li Hua
