I am going to have a party tomorrow night. I promised(答应) my mother that she needn't do 1 for me. My friend Jane is coming, too. She would like to help me, 2 she can't. Because she has a piano lesson in the morning and in the afternoon she has to babysit her sister. So I will do everything by myself. I try to make 3 party a nice one.

    I sent invitations to my friends yesterday. Now I am thinking about4 I need to do tomorrow. Yes! I have to clean the room and do some shopping. I am going 5 some food, drinks and some fruit in the supermarket. I am going to make a shopping list 6 I go. I also have to decorate(装饰) the room. I need to do so many things, so I 7see the movie Du Vinci Code after lunch. A terrible thing!

    The party begins 8 I 8 p.m. I must have my dinner 9. Because I am tired after I finish 10so many things and after dinner I can have a short rest.

    When you travel to a foreign country, there is one important thing. You need to know its way of greetings(问候).

    In the US, men usually shake hands for greetings, but a smile and a "hello" will do just fine.

    In England, people often say "hello" for greetings. They usually shake hands for their first time greeting without standing too close. Friends often kiss on the face for greetings.

    In France, men, women and children shake hands with their friends and often kiss them on both cheeks(脸颊) for meeting and leaving.

    In Arab countries, close men friends kiss both cheeks. They shake hands with the right hand only because in their culture, only the right hand is clean. They can't ask to shake hands with women.

    In China, people usually nod(点头) their heads and smile, or shake hands for the first time greeting.

    Although these countries have something in common in greetings, you should still think carefully and know well about the greetings before you come to a new country.
