1.A lot of boys and girls in the United States are wearing the same kinds of clithes,and many of them have long hair,so it is often diffcult to tell whether they are boys or girls.One day,an old man went for a walk in a park in Washington,and when he was tried,he sat down in a chair.A young person was standing on the other side of the pool.“Oh!”the old man said to the person sitting next to him in the chair.“Do you see that person with the loose pants and long hair?Is it a boy or a girl?”“A girl,”said his neighbor.“She is my daughter.”“Oh!”the old man said quickly.“Sorry.I did not know that you were her mother.”“I am not.”said the other person“I am her father.”
2.Hi,Louis,
I am writing to tell you something about the customs and festivals.Everyone loves holidays since one dose not need to go to school or work..Although all holidays mean no school and work,not all of them are the same..On some of them you go out with friends;on others you stay home to eat ,talk,and have fun with your family.For example in the USA,everyone thinks New Year’s Eve and New Year are both for partying with friends.Chrismas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members.The opposite is ture in Japan though.For example,in Japan, New Year is for spending time with the family to eat, talk, have fun,and go to the temples.But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts.Originally Christmas should be to celebrate the birth of Christ.I have been interested in foreign customs since I was little.If you learn these different holiday customs,you will learn about different histories and cultures.This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from moreing to evening.
Love,
Sue
