26、Recently, Donald Trump has been chosen to be the Person of the Year by The Times. But who is the Person of the Year in your heart?

Zhang Yiyi, 13, Shanxi

  In my eyes, the Person of the Year must be British actor Alan Rickman. I love him because of his beautiful voice in the movie Alice in Wonderland. The most successful character he has made is Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies, who loves Lily till the last second of his life. On Jan 14, 2016, he died aged 69. The author Harry Potter J.K. Rowling said he was a perfect actor and a wonderful man.

Ye Tong, 13, Zhejiang

  The Person of the Year must be Antonio Manuel de Oliveira Guterres. He is the former premier of Portugal (葡萄牙总理). And now he is the new Secretary-General (秘书长) of the United Nations. He will be the ninth person who takes this job. In my opinion, the UN Secretary General always plays an important role in developing international relationships. I think that he is worth offering the job and will make something great to the world.

Zhai Xihua, 15, Liaoning

I think Guo Chuan, the famous Chinese sailor(船员), can be Person of the Year. Guo broke many world records with his sailing boat. He often sailed around the world alone. He had strong spirit. Whatever difficulties he met, he never gave up. He went missing at sea earlier this year. But he still lives on in my heart.

Xu Youyou, 12, Guangdong

The person I want to choose would be Teresa May, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Since the UK left the European Union, many people thought that the UK would be in a mess. However, May made an effort to “save the UK”. She has done a good job. It is said that she has dealt with the chaos (混乱) of the English political parties (政党).

27、Manners are very important for our daily life. There are many different customs and habits among different countries. We must find out and follow their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are examples of the things that a person with good education should do.

If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says “Come in, please.” After you enter the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is sent to your hand, you should say“Thank you”and receive it with two hands. Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor always leaves a little food to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes the food to show that he has enjoyed it. The host will be pleased with that.

You have to give your present in public in the Middle East to show it is not a bribe. But it’s good manners to give your present in private in Asia. You mustn’t give knives in Latin America because it suggests that you want to cut off the relationship. You mustn’t give your food to Arabia because it suggests that you think your host isn’t offering you enough to eat .

“Come any time” means “I want you to visit me” in India. If you don’t suggest a time at once, the India will think you are refusing the invitation. But if an Englishman says “Come any time”, they will think you are impolite if you start fixing a date.
