Yes,I'm really excited!You went there last year,right?Can you tell me about
their customs?
Ella:
Sure!First,they have a special greeting.They press their palms together,bow,
and say,.Namaste.”
Peter:
Wow!I'll remember that.
Ella:
Second,you should only use your right hand to eat.
Peter:

Well,people may not use a knife and fork at all.Very often they eat with their
hands instead.
Peter:
OK!Anything else?

Yes!People in India often eat a lot of curry.I ate chicken curry there,and it
was delicious!But don't expect to eat any beef.Cows are protected in India.

Zhong Yi
For my book report,I've chosen The Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo
Guanzhong.I love historical fiction novels,and this is a classic.It describes a time long
ago when three kingdoms fought one another for over 100 years.There are almost 1,000
different characters.My favourite is Zhuge Liang because he's so clever and he has a
plan for everything.The book is full of great stories,and it has helped me to understand
many Chinese idioms better.
Linda
Have you ever heard of Oliver Twist?It's a classic social novel from the 1800s by
my favourite writer,Charles Dickens.It talks about how poor people lived in London
back then.In the story,Oliver is a boy whose parents have died.He becomes a factory
worker,but he's later forced to steal things.I really like Oliver.He's always kind to
others,even when things are tough.In the end,the bad people are punished,and Oliver
has a better life.I love this story,and I've already read it twice.
