I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.

One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him.

One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(戒备地). The rest of us were silent.

The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good Morning” in reply.

The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.

One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.

Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.

Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or—hopefully – on holiday somewhere.

When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.

The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.

The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰) a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

A. people always cared about each other on the bus

C. smiles can shorten the distance between people

D. people are not good at communicating in the country

I’ve been keeping an English blog for many years. These practical tips have helped me over the course of my blogging.

Read quality books, blogs, journals, etc. which are written in English.

Blogging is not always about writing. 1. Reading also improves your English comprehension, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and writing.

Practice helps, so continue writing.

2. Trying to make a perfect post free from grammar and spelling mistakes is good but you’re not making use of your time efficiently.

3.

Think about the main points you want to raise. I prepare an outline of my post and a list of the points I want to talk about. Doing this has helped me stay on track and centre on my main points. The outline and the list of points I want to write about serve as my guidelines when I’m writing.

When writing, use simple words and sentences.

Using simple sentences makes your job as a blogger easier. 4. Always remember this: The aim of your writing is to get your message across and the only way to become an effective writer is successfully getting your message across to your readers.

Write your posts ahead of time.

5. To free yourself from the pressure of making a post on daily basis, which might influence your writing, consider making your posts ahead of time.

A. Also, it makes your posts more understandable to your readers.

B. Welcome comments from your blog readers.

C. There are advantages of daily blogging, but if it becomes tiring, forget about it.

D. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.

E. Mistakes can be reduced with the help of your readers.

F. You need to read to be able to write fluently

G. Prepare an outline of your post.
