JOHN BROWN HATTER 

Makes and Sells

Hats for Ready Money

JOHN BROWN

Makes and Sells Hats

  A friend who saw the sign said that when a man bough a hat he didn’t ask who made it．So John crossed out “make”．But another friend saw “John Brown sells hats”，he said，“Of course you sell hats．No one thinks you give them away．”

45．From the story we know

B

Everyone needs friends．We all like to feel close to someone．It is nice to have a friend to talk，laugh，and do things with．Surely, there are times when we need to be alone．We don’t always want people around．But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are just the same．Sometimes friends don’t get along well．That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other．Most often time they will make up and go on being friends．

Sometimes friends move away．Then we feel very sad．We miss them very much．But we can call them and write to them．It could be that we would even see them again．And we can make new friends．It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them．

Families sometimes name their children after a close friend．Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town．Some libraries are named this way．So are some schools．We think of these people when we go to these places．

There’s more good news for people who have friends．They live longer than people who don’t．Why? It could be that they are happier．Being happy helps you stay well．Or it could just know that someone cares．If someone cares about you，you take better care of yourself．

 Dear Mr．Price，

    I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service．This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing(令人失望的)．

    It was my son’s birthday so we booked(預(yù)訂)a non-smoking table at your restaurant for 7：30 pm．We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready．At 8：00 pm，we were given a table in the smoking section．I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables．A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.

    Our first waitress，Janet，Was very polite and helpful．She gave us free drinks for waiting so long．Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty(好吃的)．When my wife had eaten most of her meal，she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in the vegetables．She was greatly surprised and wanted to leave．At first，the waitress told us it was a piece of onion．When we told her that onion does not have legs，she said sorry and took the food away．

    We asked for the bill(帳單)，hoping not to pay for my wife’s meal．Nobody came．After l5 minutes，I asked to see the manager(經(jīng)理)．The head waiter told us that you were on holiday．I complained again about the terrible cockroach．He told me Janet had finished work．He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals．

    The waitress，Janet，was always friendly, but I would like your impolite head waiter to say sorry and a full refund(退款)for our meal．It cost$68．Until then，I will not be eating at your restaurant．

    Your can contact(聯(lián)系)me at 742-32540 or through e-mail if you want more information：raymondyyuen@canada．net

    Thank you for your attention．

    Yours sincerely

Raymond Yuen

   What is small talk? Small talk is the relaxed conversation that people make to pass the time．You can make small talk when waiting in a line at the store，or while waiting for the bus or elevator. Though the topics in small talk are not important，small talk itself is very important．It makes other people feel relaxed，it breaks the silence，it shows friendliness and good manners, and it makes time pass pleasantly．

   In small talk，it is important to remember to smile and keep the conversation breezy(輕松)．It's also good to show a sense of humor．You could talk about the weather, an interesting story in the news or television，a sports event，a play or a movie，or you could ask couples about their newborn babies．

   What should not you talk about? Well, you should always avoid(避免)talking about politics(政治)and religion(宗教)．Also，you should not talk too long on a subject or ask questions that are too personal．Give the other person a chance to speak and listen to what they want to say．Finally if a disagreement arises(出現(xiàn)不同意見)，change the subject．
