Everyone should be polite. Polite people show good manners. Moreover, they are popular. On the other hand,
rude people are looked down upon. Rudeness shows poor education. Therefore, why not be polite? A simple
"Please," "Thank you," or "You're welcome," can make a big difference.

　　每個人都應有禮貌。有禮貌的人展現良好的風度。而且, 他們受人歡迎。另一方面, 無禮的人則遭人輕

視。無禮表示教育差。因此, 何不有禮貌一點呢？“請”、“謝謝你”或“不客氣”這幾個字雖很簡單, 卻
會使情況大不相同。

Something strange happened to me yesterday. On my way to school, I met a stranger. He stopped me and said,
"You are Betty, aren't you?" "No," I replied. He asked, "You know me, don't you?" "I don't," I answered. Then
he said, "You owe me $100, don't you?" I ran away. At that moment, I remembered my mother's words: "Never
talk to strangers."

Some people have more money than others. However, they're not necessarily happier. On the other hand, some

Many people are fond of showing off. They always insist on footing the bill when they are out with friends.
They always think of impressing people with their wealth. They seem to think that money can buy friends. In
fact, it can't. Instead of trying to show off, they should be themselves.

　　有很多人喜歡炫耀。當他們和朋友外出時總是爭著付帳。他們老是想用自己的財富給別人留下深刻
的印象。他們似乎認為錢可以買到朋友。但事實上, 錢無法買到朋友。他們不應炫耀, 而應做真正的自我。
