A young man told off (责备) a kid for eating on the underground in Hong Kong. The kid’s mother got angry about the young man’s attitude (态度) and they started to quarrel(吵架) with each other.
This happened two years ago and has caused a huge argument on the Internet. Some people think the behavior of the kid, a Chinese tourist, was bad because eating is not allowed on the Hong Kong subway. Others say that, because there’s no such rule in many other cities, it’s reasonable that the tourists didn’t know about it.
James Tien, chairman of the Hong Kong Tourist Board, asked sides to calm down “Both parties (当事人) should learn to see thin gs from the other side,” he said, “Hong Kong citizens should be more polite and explain local rules to tourists.” He also thinks that travelers should improve their manners. “When In Rome, do as the Romans do. Social customs are different in different countries and cities. Travelers should follow the local rules.”

Without classes and exams, the summer vacation is an ideal time for Australian kids. For me, Nancy, it means much more than not going to school. It is also a golden chance (机会) to spend time with my family because I have little time with them during the school year.
Last summer vacation I travelled with my family to the Hawkesbury River in Western Sydney. It was one of the most unforgettable summer vacations in my life.
Staying by the river helps us escape (逃脱) from the hot weather and noise of the city. Every day, my family and I got up early to go swimming in the cool water. In the morning, we all took part in a big game. We enjoyed water-skiing, wakeboarding (尾波滑水) and other activities. These activities made our family feel closer.
In the warm afternoon, we peacefully (平静地) read books on hammocks hung among trees by the river. The days always ended with a campfire. We sat around the fire, talking and laughing.
The river is a perfect place for people to forget about all the stresses of life and simply enjoy the moment. To me, it is the perfect place to spend time together with my family. I can’t help thinking about those days again and again even though so many months has passed.
