English habits
I have an English friend. One day I came to see him. He invited me to dinner. At table Englishmen had their good manners. To accept a dish was by saying, “Yes, please.”To decline (谢绝) it was by saying, “No, thanks.” When eating they made little noise.
After dinner he went upstairs to change his clothes. But he did not come back. After a while I went upstairs and found him in bed asleep. That was his habit.
Habits are very strong. If a man by habit says “Thank you” and “please”, it is easy for him to be polite. If a man smokes a great deal, it becomes very difficult for him to stop. A language is also made of habits. So we should form good habits of reading and speaking English.
