Up to now， Wood has published more than 60 diaries， and he still updates the diaries frequently on social media websites． In his first diary， he mentioned， "news is going around about a bad cold virus in Wuhan， but I feel worlds away from me and few people wear masks in public．"

He recorded in his diaries that thousands of medical workers from different provinces and cities went to Hubei to help with the anti﹣epidemic （抗疫）． Restaurants and shops were closed down， while supermarkets checked people's body temperatures． And community workers across the country took strict action， asking people to stay at home and helping the old buy daily necessities．

"People in some countries said these measures could cause panic among the public． However， my experience in China shows these efforts are useful and effective， which finally removed people's fear，" Wood said．

Wood's diaries soon attracted the world's attention． Over 10，000 people left him messages on Facebook， and he was interviewed by Canadian CTV which later showed his diaries on its website．

"I also received greetings from my family and friends in Canada． They said they were inspired by the efforts the Chinese have made"， he said． "People from some countries thought the Chinese overreacted， and that the Chinese government had overdone in epidemic prevention and control． However，since more countries and regions have been infected（感染） by the virus， more and more people came to realize how proper and important China's control and prevention measures are．"

Too many people want others to be their friends， but they don't give friendship back． That is why some friendships don't last very long．（1） 　　You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you． Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules： be honest； be generous（慷慨的）； be understanding．

Honesty is where a good friendship starts． Friends must be able to trust one another．If you don't tell the truth， people usually find out． If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest， you may lose your friend's trust．（2）

   Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem． Something may go wrong at school． Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve．（4） 　　So to be a friend you must listen and understand． You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better．

Have you ever heard the phrase "You never get a second chance to make a first impression（印象）"？ It may sound like an unusual piece of advice，but it is true﹣the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future．

    What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds．When you meet someone for the first time，by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands，the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are．

    So how do you make a good first impression？All things grown up tell you such as being polite，and being well﹣dressed are very important．However，the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face．

    Smiling，being responsive，and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive（积极的）impression on people，especially those who do not know you．Most people，generally speaking，are ready to smile back when they are smiled at．

    Furthermore，smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things．This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly．So if you ever need a reason to be happy，think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress with a cheerful smile．

How do we know the time？ A clock， a watch or a mobile phone can help us． However， many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy． Over the centuries， people have developed different ways of telling the time．

About 5 ，500 years ago， the Egyptians invented the sun clock． This was a tall stone building． It's shadow（影子） showed the movement of the sun．So people were able to know midday．The Egyptians made a sundial about 3 ，500 years ago．It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day．On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial．Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun． The idea is simple． Water flows（流动） from one bottle to another． When the water reaches a certain level， it shows the hours． The Egyptians used water clocks about 3 ，400 years ago． These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China． But they failed to make people know the exact time．

In the 13th century， the mechanical clock was invented．This was more exact，but it was expensive to make one． Over the next few centuries it was developed． For example， springs（ 发条）were added around 1500． This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller．In 1927，the first quartz clock was developed． Clocks became cheaper to build．It's also cheaper for ordinarypeople to own a clock． People began depending on them more and more to run businesses，markets and so on． More recently， in 1956，came the digital clock．And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second．

There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping．Clocks are always changing but some things never change． Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work．

Going to a friend's house is very exciting． You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he or she lives． So remember to be polite．

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over， you need to arrive on time． If your friend tells you to come "around 3：00"，that means you can arrive a little bit after 3：00． But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time．

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend's house． This could be a box of chocolates for you to share， or maybe a CD that you can enjoy together． You can also bring some flowers． A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his or her house．

When you visit your friend's house ，you may also meet his or her parents． You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names． As a child， I went to visit my friend Paul． I called his parents by their first names John and Mary， But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr． and Mrs． Smith． This will show them more respect （尊重） and then they may tell you to call them by their first names． Another way to show respect is to call them madam or sir．

How to Start and Keep a Good Conversation Going

How to Start a good conversation

"Hi，my name is Sara．""I'm Frank．Nice to meet you．"

Introductions，like the one above，are a great way to begin a good conversation．When you introduce yourself，be confident and comfortable．That will make others comfortable，too．After the introduction，wait a bit．If the other person doesn't ask a question，you ask one．Starting with a question shows interest in the other person．You could ask "What do you do？"or "How do you know our host？"But asking something a little different shows you are clearly different．"What did you do last weekend？"and "Have you seen any good movies recently？"are two topics you could ask about．Another good way to start with is "Tell me about yourself．"Most people love talking about themselves．

How to keep a good conversation going

As the other person begins to answer your question，look for the same opinion．If you ask about last weekend，the person could talk about a bike ride they took．When the person finishes his opinions，you could mention an experience that you had with biking．You can then move on to discussing other sports the person may be interested in．

When the other person is talking，be interested in them．Listen carefully to their answers．Don't look around the room．That gives the other person the message that you are not really interested in them．

If you are answering the question，don't go on and on．Answer the question and then stop．A good conversation is like a tennis game where the ball goes back and forth．

With some practice，you'll be able to start and keep a conversation going with anyone！
