If you need to find out some information for your homework, you will find it all there on the Internet. When you want to have a 4 with your best friends, you just do it via messaging apps. When you want a rest from your homework, you start a game and play it. When you 5 , just open your phone and use the map to help you find your way again. At these times, all we need is just the Internet. 6 , it wasn’t always like this. Just 20 years ago, people had to go to the shops if they wanted to buy something. And often those shops were 7 at night! To find the information that they need, they had to 8 very large, heavy books called encyclopedias. They had to pick up the telephone if they wanted to talk. And if their best friends weren’t at home, they couldn’t talk to them. That’s how 9 life was. Do you know who had to live such a life? You may not know that these “ 10 ” people were. . . our grandparents!

For example, we weren’t allowed to start our meal 6 the oldest person had started. We had to say “thank you” when our food was served, and eat everything on our plates before we could 7 the table. We couldn’t make any noise when eating. Worse than that, we were only allowed to have sweets at the weekend, as a special treat if we had been good. Although my upbringing (养育) was perhaps a bit 8 compared with modern children, I’m very thankful to my parents for giving me a clear 9 in life. Even though I was sometimes punished, I think it has made me a better person.

I remember one day when we were travelling on a bus and I sat down while other people were standing. My mother shouted at me, “ 1 at once, you have young legs and you don’t need to sit down.” At the time, I felt embarrassed about being told of 2 , but now I understand. I think children nowadays have 3 that respect and it really makes me angry if I see children sitting down while 4 people are standing. One area in which we had a lot of rules was table 5 . For example, we weren’t allowed to start our meal 6 the oldest person had started. We had to say “thank you” when our food was served, and eat everything on our plates before we could 7 the table. We couldn’t make any noise when eating. Worse than that, we were only allowed to have sweets at the weekend, as a special treat if we had been good. Although my upbringing (养育) was perhaps a bit 8 compared with modern children, I’m very thankful to my parents for giving me a clear 9 in life. Even though I was sometimes punished, I think it has made me a better person.

I’m looking forward to the exchange (交流) too. Anyway, about the 1 and things. The school here isn’t very 2 about most things, but there are a few things you need to know. First of all— 3 . You can wear what you want, 4 you can’t wear jeans with holes in them. You should 5 comfortable things. And it’ll be cold when you’re here so you’d better bring some 6 clothes. The school’s pretty strict about phones—of course you can 7 them, but you have to 8 the phones and keep them in a place as you are required (要求) before class. And you can bring 9 to school but you must eat it outside during the break. If it’s raining, you can eat in the classroom. In short, it’s a good school and the teachers are kind. You really don’t have to worry about anything here. Hope my advice is 10 to you. Write again soon, OK? And tell me if there’s anything else you need to know.
