These days， it is easier for us to travel to other countries than ever before. However， there is a big difficulty that most of us 1 when we meet people in other countries——we cannot communicate with them. There are 2 where English is still not spoken， though it is the most widely used language. So， wouldn't it be 3 if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world？

Esperanto which was created in 1887 may be the world's 4 truly international language. In fact， although 5 artificial（人造的） languages have been already created， only Esperanto has had much success. Its learners say that it is about four times 6 to learn than other languages. Spelling and pronunciation are both easy， too. For example， it does not have silent 7 like the “h” in “honest”. If you 8 a word， you can spell it without any difficulty. The grammar is also as simple as possible： only sixteen basic 9， no irregular verbs（不规则动词）， only six verb endings（词尾）.

In short， Esperanto should be attractive（有吸引力的） as a language to learn， 10 there is a problem： how many people have met anyone who can really speak it？ Anyway， we hope that some day one language can be mastered easily by anyone.

The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g.

If I hold it for a day， you will have to call an ambulance（救护车）. It is exactly the same weight， but the longer I hold it， the heavier I feel it.”

“If we carry our burdens（负担） all the time， sooner or later， we will not be able to carry on； the burden becomes increasingly heavier.”

“What you have to do is to put the glass down， rest for a while before holding it up again.”

Dear David，

I am glad to know you are coming to China. Now let me tell you something about the differences between the Chinese customs and western customs.

First， the topics that people talk about when they meet are different. Chinese people talk about everything， even including people's ages and salaries. Second， Chinese names are different from western names. In China， the last name comes before the first name. Third， the things that people use while eating are different. Chinese people usually eat with chopsticks. Fourth， the ways that people accept gifts are different. In China， people don't unwrap a gift at once. They usually unwrap it after the guests leave. Hope you will come soon！

Yours，

Wang Ning
