people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare (车费) of two
US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you
have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver will not show the
least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside eaters. Hotel guests
have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining room to have their meals. The only thing they
need to do is to wave their room cards to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old
room card to take a couple of friends to eat dinner free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed
with the boss on the payment. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will
be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to
take "small advantages". But the strange thing is: all the taxi passengers will always come back to pay their
fare after they have dealt with their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining
room; and workers always give an honest answer of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on
good trust in everything they do, living in such a society has tumed everyone into a real "gentleman".

| Summer camps started from the US. They are programs for teenagers during the summer months in some countries. Teenagers who take part in summer camps are known as campers. The traditional summer camp usually means hiking, game-playing and campfires. Now modern summer camps can offer campers a great many activities. Among them, the intemational summer camp is quite popular, especially with Chinese campers. First of all, the intemational summer camp can bring campers unusual life experience. As we all know, the experience in high school plays a very important role in life. The international summer camp is a great way to establish (确立) the right values for life. Campers will experience the cultural difference-something they can"t get at home from their families. During the international summer camp, children will become more independent and see new things. They can also leam more through talking with students from all over the world. Making friends is another point. The intemational summer camp mixes (混合) Chinese students with students from other countries in the world. No matter whether they live with a local family or live with other students in dormitories (宿舍), they will all share experiences and cultures with persons from different countries and cultural backgrounds, learn cross-culture communication skills by listening to others and expressing themselves, and improve friendship over several weeks. They often stay in touch with each other by email,MSN or QQ after the program finishes. The most exciting thing in the intemational summer camp is that Chinese campers can get excellent chances to speak and use English in a real English world. Language is not only knowledge; it is a skill which needs to be improved by using it. Campers from English-speaking countries are very friendly, warm-hearted and helpful. |

| I started my food blog (博客) Chubby Hubby in 2005. At the time, we were preparing a wnter"s festival. The chairman wanted to have popular blogs to publicize it. As most of us had no idea what a blog was then, he suggested that we start our own blogs, just to get an idea. It wasn"t until much later that I realized I was the only one to do so. A food blog was a good choice for me. When I first started the blog, I was surprised to find there were others who shared the same hobby in good food as I did. I became interested in this community (团体). Over the last four years, it"s been pleasant to watch this hobby tum into something that people do as a duty. If you are thinking of starting one, here are some suggestions: Decide who you"re talking to. This will decide how the blog voices. Be honest. People like to read blogs because they are highly personal insights (洞悉) into people"s lives and interests. If you tell lies, your readers will lose interests. Care about design (设计). For food blogs, photography is important. Basic skills help make your blog better. |
