In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and regard(看待) them as their good friends. Before they take them to their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(打针) so that they won’t worry about diseases. They have pet food shops. Some people spend two hundred dollars a month on animal food. When you go to Canadian people’s homes, they will be glad to show their pets, and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is able to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you kill an animal, you will be punished.
People in Canada love animals very much. Do you know why? One of the reasons may be: in their families when children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old people feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them.

Different Ways of Drinking Tea
All around the world，people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries，people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China，for example，people always drink tea when they are going together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain，with nothing else in it.
Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called tea ceremony （典礼）.It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special way for it in Japanese homes.
Another tea-drinking country is England. In England，the late afternoon is “te a time”.Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes，cookies and a little sandwiches at tea time. This is so called “Afternoon Tea” in Britain.
In the United States，people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots（茶壶）.In summer，many Americans drink cold tea. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans like soda （汽水）.

Should I bring a present，such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or late? At the dinner table，how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for th eir kindness?

Dear Xiao Qiang,
It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early.
If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner tabl e. If you don’t know how to use the fork and the knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you. Of course, you should thank them for the dinner and for the kindness.
Yours,
Alice。
