Different countries have different eating habits.There is a saying “Eat good things for breakfast,
eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” in China.Many Americans agree that one should start
the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch because they have not so much long
time to have a rest at noon. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big
dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good
rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very
often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they just having a good time. In America it
is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of
the outside world．If someone is talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant will look at him or
her angrily. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask
them to be quiet.

In most parts of the world, many students help their school make less pollution. They join
“environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.
Here are the things students often do.
No-garbage lunches! How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask
students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the class
that makes the least garbage and report it to the whole school!
No-car day! On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car, not only the students but the
teachers as well! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember to do such things: walk, jump, bike or
run! Use your legs! It’s very fun.
Turn off the water! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty tons of water an
hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken
toilets.
We love our environment. Let’s work together to make it clean!
