Finally, I came to our Alma mater. Once I walk into the campus, I couldnt believe my eyes, the campus was so beautiful, and the classrooms were so bright and spacious. I found a lot of changes have taken place in our Alma mater. The teaching building was tall and new. There was such a big canteen that holds 2 000 students, and the library was modern and new. There was a TV and a computer in each classroom. There were so tall trees and flowers in the campus, it looked like a big garden.

When all the students came, we walked toward the next destination(目的地), our head teachers home. Then we met him. He was humorous as before, we talked, laughed and nearly forgot the lunch time. We enjoyed ourselves with our old friends and our teacher in the restaurant. We spent a happy day talking and laughing! It was an unforgettable day!
★鏈接二:世界各國的社交禮儀
1.美國
美國人在待人接物方面,具有下述四個主要特點:
① 隨和友善,容易接近;
② 熱情開朗,不拘小節(jié);
③ 城府不深,喜歡幽默;
④ 自尊心強,好勝心重。
若非親朋好友,美國人一般不會主動與對方親吻、擁抱。正式場合,握手致意。非正式場合見面,禮節(jié)比較隨意,往往以點頭、微笑為禮,或者只是向?qū)Ψ健癏i”上一聲。
2. 加拿大
加拿大地廣人稀,特殊的環(huán)境對加拿大人的待人接物有一定影響。一般而言,在交際應(yīng)酬中,加拿大人最大的特點是既講究禮貌,又無拘無束。加拿大國民的主體是由英法兩國移民的后裔構(gòu)成的。一般而言,英裔加拿大人大多信奉基督教,講英語,性格上相對保守內(nèi)向一些。而法裔加拿大人則大都信奉天主教,講法語,性格上顯得較為開朗奔放。與加拿大人打交道要了解對方情況,然后再有所區(qū)別地加以對待。
3. 法國
與英國人和德國人相比,法國人在待人接物上的表現(xiàn)是大不相同的。主要有以下特點:
① 愛好社交,善于交際。對于法國人來說社交是人生的重要內(nèi)容,沒有社交活動的生活是難以想象的。
② 詼諧幽默,天性浪漫。他們在人際交往中大都爽朗熱情。善于雄辯,高談闊論,好開玩笑,討厭不愛講話的人,對愁眉苦臉者難以接受。受傳統(tǒng)文化的影響, 法國人不僅愛冒險,而且喜歡浪漫的經(jīng)歷。
③ 渴求自由,紀(jì)律較差。在世界上法國人是最著名的“自由主義者”?!白杂?、 平等、博愛”不僅被法國憲法定為本國的國家箴言,而且在國徽上明文寫出。 他們雖然講究法制,但是一般紀(jì)律較差,不大喜歡集體行動。與法國人打交道,約會必須事先約定,并且準(zhǔn)時赴約,但是也要對他們可能的姍姍來遲事先有所準(zhǔn)備。
④ 自尊心強,偏愛“國貨”。法國的時裝、美食和藝術(shù)是世人有口皆碑的,在此影響之下,法國人擁有極強的民族自尊心和民族自豪感。在他們看來,世間的一切都是法國最棒。與法國人交談時,如能講幾句法語,一定會使對方熱情有加。
⑤ 騎士風(fēng)度,尊重婦女。在人際交往中法國人所采取的禮節(jié)主要有握手禮、擁抱禮和吻面禮。
4. 德國
德國人在待人接物方面所表現(xiàn)出來的獨特風(fēng)格,往往會給人以深刻的印象。
① 紀(jì)律嚴(yán)明,法制觀念極強;
② 講究信譽,重視時間觀念;
③ 極端自尊,非常尊重傳統(tǒng);
④ 待人熱情,十分注重感情。
必須指出的是,德國人在人際交往中對禮節(jié)非常重視。與德國人握手時,有必要特別注意下述兩點:一是握手時務(wù)必要坦然地注視對方;二是握手的時間宜稍長一些,晃動的次數(shù)宜稍多一些,握手時所用的力量宜稍大一些。重視稱呼是德國人在人際交往中的一個鮮明特點。對德國人稱呼不當(dāng),通常會令對方大為不快。一般情況下,切勿直呼德國人的名字。稱其全稱,或僅稱其姓,都可行。與德國人交談時,切勿疏忽對“您”與“你”這兩種人稱代詞的使用。對于熟人、朋友、同齡者,方可以“你”相稱。在德國,稱“您”表示尊重,稱“你”則表示地位平等、關(guān)系密切。
5. 俄羅斯
在人際交往中,俄羅斯人素來以熱情、豪放、勇敢、耿直而著稱于世。在交際場合,俄羅斯人慣于和初次會面的人行握手禮。但對于熟悉的人,尤其是在久別重逢時,他們則大多要與對方熱情擁抱。在迎接貴賓之時,俄羅斯人通常會向?qū)Ψ将I上“面包和鹽”。這是給予對方的一種極高的禮遇,來賓必須對其欣然笑納。在稱呼方面,在正式場合,他們也采用“先生”、“小姐”、“夫人”之類的稱呼。在俄羅斯,人們非??粗厝说氖巧鐣匚?。因此對有職務(wù)、學(xué)銜、軍銜的人,最好以其職務(wù)、學(xué)銜、軍銜相稱。依照俄羅斯民俗,在用姓名稱呼俄羅斯人時,可按彼此之間的不同關(guān)系,具體采用不同的方法。只有與初次見面之人打交道時,或是在極為正規(guī)的場合,才有必要將俄羅斯人的姓名的三個部分連在一起稱呼。
6. 澳大利亞
澳大利亞人見面習(xí)慣于握手,不過有些女子之間不握手,女友相逢時常親吻對方的臉。澳大利亞人大都名在前,姓在后。稱呼別人先說姓,接上先生、小姐或太太之類。熟人之間可稱小名。
7. 巴西
從民族性格來講,巴西人在待人接物上所表現(xiàn)出來的特點主要有兩方面:一方面,巴西人喜歡直來直去,有什么就說什么。另一方面,巴西人在人際交往中大都活潑好動,幽默風(fēng)趣,愛開玩笑。目前,巴西人在社交場合通常都以擁抱或者親吻作為見面禮節(jié)。只有在十分正式的活動中,他們才以相互握手為禮。除此之外,巴西人還有一些獨特的見面禮:其一,握拳禮;其二,貼面禮;其三,沐浴禮。
