Hi, Louis!
Iâm writing to tell you something about the customs and festivals.
Everyone loves holidays since one doesnât need to go to school or work. Although all holidays mean no school and work, but not all of them are the same. On some of them you go out with friends; on others you stay home to eat, talk, and have fun with your family. For example in the U.S., everyone thinks New Yearâs Eve and New Year are both for partying with friends. Christmas is the time to stay home and exchange gifts with family members. The opposite is true in Japan though. For example, in Japan, New Year is for spending time with the family to eat, talk, have fun, and go to the temples. But Christmas is for boy and girl friends to go out and exchange gifts. Originally Christmas should be to celebrate the birth of Christ.
I have been interested in foreign customs since I was little. If you learn these different holiday customs, you will learn about different histories and cultures. This is much more interesting than learning them at the library from morning to evening.
Love,
Sue

All my friends at school smoked. My dad smoked; he didnât want me to smoke but my friends kept saying I was stupid. They asked when I was going to grow up. So I started when I was sixteen and after a month I couldnât stop. But two years later I could feel what smoking was doing to me. I couldnât run far, and I coughed every morning. I got very ill and decided to stop. It wasnât easy, but now Iâve done it, and I feel better. Now I have money for other things.
If you smoke, you are twice as likely to die from a heart attack. And the more you smoke, the earlier the heart attack is likely to be. For example, a 50-year-old who smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day, is four times more likely to have heart disease than a non-smoker of the same age.
What does smoking do to the heart? First of all, it makes the heart beat faster and increases the blood pressure. The cigarette smoke also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. Consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen. Finally, your arteries will narrow faster if you smoke.
So if you want to reduce your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy ââ not to smoke. Donât copy your friends and other people who smoke. If you smoke, find out how to stop. Stopping isnât easy, but youâll be healthier, and ....

New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.
You might want to do some shopping in New York. Fifth Avenue is probably New Yorkâs most famous shopping street, but if you go, be prepared to âwindow shopâonly. This is shopping for the rich. There are other, less expensive shopping areas nearby, and youâll soon come across famous stores such as Bloomingdales, Macyâs and FAO Schwartz.
And if youâve brought your rollerblades, then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large, open park right in the middle of Manhattan, but if you thought that people came here to relax, sit down for a few minutes and get away from the rush of New York life, then youâd be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run, jogï¼æ
¢è·ï¼, and most of all they rollerblade.
When you leave New York, you might be tired, even poor and overweight, but the one thing you wonât be is bored!

In the USA, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonaldâs and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu above the counter, and say what youâd like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. Thereâs no need to leave a tip.
In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You donât wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what youâd like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier as you leave. A diner is like a coffee shop but usually looks like a railway carriage.
In a family restaurant the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you donât need to tell her yours. If you donât eat everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen percent to the bill as a tip.
In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad, not if you donât like it. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter.

If you ask Daniel Radcliffe who acted Harry Potter to pick a special moment from the last year of his life, you will find it almost impossible. âOh, wow, thatâs really difficult,â he says with a smile.
âThere have been so many things, so many memories that at times itâs hard to recall them all,â says Daniel. âBut I guess one of the best ones was the London premiere for Tbe Pbilosopberâs Stone. It was just amazing, one of the best nights of my life.â
