Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people change their names?
There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for
people to remember. On the other hand, Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name
because he wants to be different.
People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some other
famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have special
sound. They chose the "new name" for themselves instead of the name their parents gave them when they
were born.
Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and
want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he
moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese
friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, using different names makes life easier in their new country.
In many countries, a woman changes her family name to her husband"s after she gets married. But today,
many women are keeping their own family name and not using their husband"s. Sometimes, women use their
own name in some situations (情况) and their husband"s in other situations. And some use both their own
name and their husband"s. |

Dear Mary,
I"ve been in England for two months now. I hope you don"t think I have forgotten you. There have been
so many places to see and so many things to do that I"ve not had much time to write letters.
I will soon be starting my studies at King"s College. So far I"ve been learning about England and British
ways of living. I will tell you about London. There are lots of books you can read and lots of pictures you can
look at. I am sure you"ll be more interested to know what I think about the life here.
I find some of the customs (风俗) new and interesting. People here don"t shake hands as much as we do in
Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people didn"t put out their hands when I met
them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other.
Yours,
Gina |
