W: Hi, Mr. Lee, I am 1. reporter from the New York Times. It will be great 2. you can tell me some information about chopsticks, 3. their origin and the materials they are made from.

W: OK, thank you. And I’d like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks. 8. not knives and forks, like Americans?

Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The park was full of freshness and beautiful of spring, with the sun shining and birds sing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught their eyes. A young couple in a boat was eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. Which is worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, total ignoring the noticeable sign “No Littering” nearby. What shame!

Such behavior leaves me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did so, the lake will be severely polluted or soon turned into a huge dustbin.
