Sometimes we get lost or need help. We might need to find the washroom, a bookstore, or the parking lot. In these（ situation）, it's important to know how to ask for help politely. 

First, find someone who can help. Use polite ways to get （ someone） attention. You can start by saying "Pardon me. " or "Excuse me. " 

Next, try to ask help. Say "Could you please tell me the way to the washroom?" or "Could you show me how to get to the mall?" Remember （ say） "please" and "thank you". These small words show respect. 

Third, don't use direct questions, they are less polite. For example, you should ask "Could you tell me where the postcard section is? " instead of "Where is the postcard section?" 

（ four）, if you didn't hear the answer, you can say,  "Pardon?" or "Could you repeat that, please?" They are （ good） than "What?" 

Finally, try not to rush. Speak （ slow） and listen carefully. Most people （ be） happy to help if you ask politely. 

In short, being kind and using correct words can help you get help you need. Asking for help is not just about what you ask. It also has something to do with how you ask.

My hometown warmly welcomes you!

On a sunny Monday morning, I hurried to school as usual. As I the park near my neighborhood, I noticed two foreigners standing on the side of the road with confused （迷惑的） expressions. 

I hesitated （犹豫） for a moment and then walked towards them. "Excuse me, do you need help?" I asked in English. The woman explained they were searching for a museum . Though my heart was beating fast, I tried to give them the. 

Pointing to the of the street, I said, "Turn left there, and you'll see a shopping mall. The museum is next to it. " 

After saying goodbye, Ito school, worried about being late. Surprisingly, I arrived just as the bell rang! My teacher smiled when I shared the story. Helping others made my morning brighter. 

When you ask someone a question in English, there are a lot of different phrases that will help you sound more polite. Here are some helpful tips on how to be polite when you ask questions or make requests!

If you speak with a low voice or don't change your inflection （变调）, you may sound direct or unfriendly. Smiling while you're talking can help you naturally have a cheery tone. 

Let the other person speak.

As the person gives you their answer, give them your full attention.  Don't think of what to say next while the person is talking, or else you might miss important information they're giving you. 

Do something to show that you're listening.

Turn your body toward the person you're talking to and slightly lean closer to show that you're interested in what they have to say. As they're talking, let them know that you're following the conversation. 

Follow up the conversation with more questions.

If you want to continue the conversation, ask the person something else.  In this way, you can get more information. For example, if you ask "Could you please tell me where the nearest bus stop is?" and the person answers "On Main Street", you could then ask, " Would you mind telling me which direction that is?"

How do you like to show you're polite—by not interrupting （打断） the speaker or by using a cheerful voice? Why?（ Answer within 15 words）

Imagine sitting next to a stranger, both of you laughing at a funny video or feeling sad while watching something emotional （有感染力的）. Could that moment make you feel more connected to him or her?According to a recent study, it might! Researchers found that sharing experiences with strong emotions can help people feel connected, especially when they can see each other. 

In the study, scientists wanted to see how people feel when they watch emotional videos together. They asked people who didn't know each other to sit side by side and watch videos. The people sat 60 centimeters apart and looked at the same screen. They watched three different videos. One was funny, one was sad （a video about animals kept in small cages）, and one was normal （a video of a library）. In some pairs, the people could see each other, but in others, a curtain （帘子） was between them. 

Before the videos, the people were asked how they felt and what they thought of the person sitting next to them. While watching, the scientists checked their heartbeats, breathing, and skin to see how strong their feelings were. After watching all three videos, the people answered more questions about their emotions and how they felt about their partner. 

The study found something interesting. The funny and sad videos made people feel more than the library one. People who could see each other felt even stronger emotions. Most of all, the study showed that people felt more connected after watching emotional videos together—but only when they could see each other. This means sharing strong feelings, like laughing or feeling sad, can help people feel closer. It works even if they don't know each other. 

So next time you see a funny or touching video, share it with someone. You might feel a little closer—or even make a new friend!

On April 10, a special museum opened in Shanxi. It is inside Shanxi Experimental Secondary School in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi. This is the first museum in the province to be built on a school campus. It helps students learn about old buildings and Shanxi's rich history. 

The museum is called the Ancient Architecture Campus Museum. It was made to help students understand the value of old buildings and learn how to protect them. A prelude exhibition titled "Ancient Architecture Technology Enters Campus" was also held. It used models, pictures, and digital tools to teach students in fun and easy ways. 

One student at the school, Ren Hongye, helped as a guide. She said she was proud to share what she had learned about old Chinese buildings. She found that her school lessons came to life in the museum. Another student, Song Jiaqi, said she enjoyed using computers to explore ancient buildings. It made her feel proud of Shanxi. 

The museum showed many exciting things. There was a model of the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, the tallest wooden tower in the world. A 3 D model of Foguang Temple in Wutai county, Xinzhou city was also shown. There were colorful statues of stars from Yuhuang Temple in Jincheng city too. These helped students touch, see, and play with history using technology. 

At the opening, the school's principal said,  "I hope students will love Shanxi's culture and feel proud of it. " A culture expert, Lu Yi, said this museum was just the beginning. He hopes more schools will also build museums like this in the future. That way, more young people can learn about China's rich history and help protect it in the future. 

Two months ago, I went to China to teach English. During those days, I found something different—one difference is how people break the ice in conversations. "Isn't the weather nice today?" is a typical question heard in daily life in the UK. 

People in China have a habit of beginning conversations by asking questions like,  "Have you eaten yet?" Some might think this type of question is an invitation to lunch, but in fact, this is more of a greeting used to express concern for the person you're talking to. Although it's a question I'm still not used to being asked all the time, I think it's a really pleasant way to start conversations or to greet each other because it shows you care about the person you're talking to. 

Although these two ways to start conversations may be different, the one thing they have in common is that the topics affect everybody in our daily life. Everyone can relate to things like the weather or food at different mealtimes. One of the best ways to break the ice in a conversation with someone new is to talk about things you and the other person might have in common. I'm not sure I'll be able to break the habit of talking about the weather, but surely I think I could get used to talking more about food, especially as it's so delicious in China!

English people are quite polite. They even apologize for asking a question, for the bad weather or for a cough. They are probably the people who apologize most in the world. 

English people use the word "sorry" quite a lot. Usually, if they want to ask a stranger about the time, they would say "sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is?" If they're five minutes late for a meeting with someone, they would usually greet the person by saying "Sorry, I'm late!" 

They use the word "sorry" in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The main dictionary meaning of "sorry" is "feeling sad or regret". But normally, when English people want to ask a stranger a question, they start with "sorry". In this situation, they don't really feel sad or regret. 

So what does "sorry" really mean? And why do the English people use "sorry" so much? Well, in English culture, saying "sorry" is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don't know very well. 

It's also a very clever way for English people to get what they want. In a study, a person asked different strangers if he could use their phones. When he asked one group of strangers without apologizing first, he was only successful in borrowing their phones 9% of the time. However, when he said "sorry" before asking, he was successful 47% of the time. 

I used to go to the Community Center for Girl Scouts, but when that ended, my parents didn't want me to just read books all the time. So, they told me to 1 the teen group there. I was 2 because it had both boys and girls. I wanted to go back to my  3 , but my parents wouldn't let me. 

The first meeting of the group 4 with a scavenger hunt （寻宝游戏）. We were put into  5 and given lists of things to find in the neighborhood. I stayed at the back of my group, feeling like an outsider. The others knew each other well. 

We walked around, finding most of the things. 6 , we couldn't find a special button, the last thing on our list. As time was 7 , I finally suggested,  "What about the TV studio?They might have one. " 

The group decided to try my idea. 8 we got there, they made me go in and ask. A young man at the desk smiled but couldn't find a button. He then went to ask 9 else, leaving me alone. Soon, Hap Glaudi, my favorite sportscaster, came out. I was 10 . 

He asked 11 I needed the button. Nervously, I explained about the scavenger hunt. He listened kindly and handed me a button, giving me a piece of advice： "If you ask for help  12 , you give the other person a chance to be a good guy. Don't be afraid to ask. You're 13 something as well as getting something. " I thanked him and took the button back to my team. At last, we won the scavenger hunt 14 that button. 

I'll never forget Hap Glaudi's  15 . His advice helped me in many situations. His lesson gave me the courage to ask people for help and be kind in return.

The Person I Want to Thank

In my life, many people have helped and influenced me a lot. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There is a saying that "honesty is the best policy". Tell the truth, and good things will happen. This is just the way it is.

Long ago, a (home) man was walking in a busy market. On the ground in front of him, he saw a leather purse. After (open) it, he found 100 shiny gold coins inside. The man was hungry. He had no home. He even wanted to keep the purse. (sudden), he heard the cry of a rich man. "I have lost my money bag," he shouted. "I offer a big reward to anyone finds it and returns it to me." The poor man gave the rich man back (he) money.

However, the rich man had other (plan). He opened the bag, (look) inside, and said, "There are only 100 gold coins inside. The purse I lost had 200 gold coins. You must have stolen the rest just now. You will have no reward from me." The beggar asked that they go to a judge (solve) the matter.

A wise judge heard both men tell what had happened. Then he said, "I think you are both telling the truth. Rich man, you said you had lost a purse containing 200 gold coins. the beggar found a purse containing only 100 gold coins. I know that purse can't be the one you lost, for you said it had 200 coins inside."

So the judge gave the purse the person who had found it, as no righteous owner had come forward to prove it was his. And that is why, in the end, honesty truly is the best policy.
