There is no doubt that you’d like to talk to a person who is polite. However, it’s not so easy to be polite all the time. And quite a few people may be impolite to others easily. What should we do to be polite Here are some tips.
Why do we sometimes forget to smile at others You won’t get smaller or weaker if you smile first when meeting someone. A sweet smile is the best way to show your kindness and politeness.
“Sorry”, “Please” and “Thank you” are ignored easily. Whenever you need help from someone, say “Please” to him or her. If someone helps you, don’t forget to say “Thank you”; if you do something wrong, say “Sorry”. Just because of these simple but polite words, others would be glad to help you.
When you disagree with others, speak softly instead of getting into arguments. Listen to them and try to understand what they want to say. If someone gets rude(粗鲁的), keep quiet for a minute. Then he or she will understand that you are not interested in arguments. When he or she calms down, express your opinions with a smile on your face.
There are many tips for being polite to others. But even if you follow all these tips, it’s not enough. You should practice being polite all the time by yourself.

Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.
Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey, tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers(同事).
Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.

But he has overcome great difficulties to achieve his dream of becoming a professional(专业的) dancer, and is now able to hear music through an artificial cochlea(人工耳蜗).
When he was 2, his parents took him to some training courses, and he learned to understand people by reading lips(嘴唇).

What’s more, as his artificial cochlea could easily fall out, he had to wear a headband to help keep it in.
Through lasting efforts and hard work, Zhan came to be perfect at dancing and entered Changchun University to study dance in 2021. In recent years, Zhan has built up lots of experience performing at events such as the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games and the 2023 Spring Festival Gala(春晚).
After he graduates, Zhan wants to return to the troupe and become a national-level dancer. He hopes to help other children like him to learn how to dance and feel its joy.

Dr. Yang has been doing research on sports and sleep for years. He finds out that those who exercise in natural light for half an hour every day have better sleep and more energy. Dr. Yang himself gets up at 6:30 a. m. Then he usually takes a walk outside. Sometimes, he walks his two dogs in the park in the afternoon with his sunglasses.
Many schools put Dr. Yang’s findings into practice. They made it a rule that student should do outdoor exercise once or twice a day. In some schools, students even formed outdoor running clubs.
