   Have you ever made your friends angry or unhappy because of your words? Do you have trouble asking people to reply your requests(要求)?If so, maybe your words isn't polite. Now let's learn how to speak in a right way.

    Could you give me five minutes? VS Go away!

You're really busy with studies, but your classmates nee your help. Though you're too busy to do anything else, you shouldn't just say "Go away!" You can keep everyone happy by saying "Could you give me five minutes?"

    Excuse me. VS Move out of the way.

    Telling someone to "move out of the way" is not polite. Saying " excuse me" will help you get the result you want and there won't be any trouble.

    I'm afraid I can't. VS No.

    It can often be difficult to refuse an invitation from a friend. People will think it is not polite to just "no". The next time you have to refuse an invitation, you'd better say, "I'm afraid I can't." Would you mind …? VS Stop it!

    A boy is talking on the phone loudly in the cinema. Would you like to stop him? It's not polite to day " Stop talking here!" You'd better say, "Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?"

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

This is an old English saying. Do you know it before? It says that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we should be healthy. We should also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).

      This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of a young age should have ten hours’ sleep every night. Children who don’t have enough sleep can’t do their work very well. They will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!

      The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.

      Exercise also keeps the blood（血液）moving around inside the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood. Exercise helps us to think better!

To encourage reading, a Chinese company placed over 10,000 books around the underground, in taxis and on planes in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The activity earned the support of many Chinese stars. The “book-dropping battle,” however, won little praise. Instead, the movement drew much criticism(批评).

    Some books were left untouched. Around the underground, passengers thought the books were left there to save the seats. Some books were taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn’t get to the books—the carriages were too crowded.

    The movement led to a hot debate.

    Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading. “I think the best result is that people take selfies(自拍)when they pick up the books and write a post on WeChat. After that, they will just bring the books back home and place them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user.

    Some pointed out that while Watson was a great reader, the Chinese stars who supported the movement didn’t seem to be reading much. Isn’t it embarrassing that the movement is supported by stars who don’t read a lot?

    Murong Xuecun is a famous Chinese writer. He thought the book-sharing campaign was not at all a bad thing. “In the past years, the Chinese economy(经济) has been developing rapidly. Everybody is busy with work. They don’t have time for reading,” said Murong. “However, just because Chinese people don’t read regularly, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading,” Murong added.
