Time is important when you are invited to be a guest in England. It’s not polite to arrive earlier. Because the hostess (女主人) can’t do everything well and it may make her embarrassed. It’s best to arrive ten minutes later. You should say sorry when you are half an hour later.

You shouldn’t leave so late. If you are invited in the evening, you can leave from 10 to 11 at night. You can also chat with the host (主人) for an hour after dinner and then leave. If the host asks you to stay for a few more days, you should buy some flowers for the hostess before you leave. That can make her happy. On the second day after you leave, you should write a letter to show your thanks. And you’d better send some presents like chocolates or flowers to the hostess.

    Sometimes you should visit a doctor if you are sick. If you are not feeling well for more than a week or ten days, you should see a doctor. If you have a very high fever, you should see a doctor. If your arm or leg hurts, see a doctor. If you cannot see a doctor right away, you may want to talk to the school nurse.

    A visit to the doctor might seem scary at first. Just remember this. The doctor’s job is to find out what is wrong and to make you feel better. First the doctor will ask you to talk about what’s troubling you. He or she may ask if you have had this illness before. When you talk to the doctor, try to be as exact as possible. That will help the doctor find out what is wrong.

    Sometimes the doctor has to test your blood or other things. When the tests are finished, the doctor will tell you what is wrong with you. The doctor may or may not give you medicine.

    The doctor will also tell you what to do to feel better. If you don’t understand what the doctor tells you, ask questions. Be sure you know when you can go back to school and if you need to come back to see the doctor again.

    No matter what the doctor tells you to do, follow the directions exactly. Take all your medicine. Get enough rest. Eat the foods the doctor tells you to eat. Soon after, you will start to feel better.

    I was sleeping soundly last night when I was awakened by someone’s groans(呻吟). I listened, and heard it was from Sam, a student from Africa. I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia (失眠) and had just fallen asleep, but I couldn’t because Sam groaned louder and louder, showing he was seriously ill.

    At that time, Robbie, a student from China, also got up to help. We found some pills, got some water, and helped him sit up to take them, hoping this would make his pain go down a little and get over the difficult time. If only daytime would come soon, everything would become easier.

    Things went contrary (相反) to our wishes. Sam’s condition developed from bad to worse. We telephoned the emergency service, and in no time an ambulance stopped in front of our gate. We helped the medical workers carry Sam to the vehicle, and then both Robbie and I got in and took Sam to the hospital.

    We helped him go through many medical examinations. After all kinds of tests, we were told that the final diagnosis (诊断) was appendicitis (盲肠炎). Luckily, Sam didn’t need an operation because we brought him to the hospital in time. He got timely treatment.

    After Sam felt much better, we rushed back to prepare ourselves for the class. We were a little tired, but we had certainly done something good, something right.
