People often say “Come to see me soon”，but don’t believe them! You should ring someone before you visit them to make sure that they are not busy．When you first receive an invitation，you should think about if you really want to go．Nobody will be angry if you don’t want to go．You can say, “Thank you，but I can’t make it this time．”
If you accept an invitation but later realized you can’t go，you should tell the host or hostess as soon as possible．If you receive a written invitation that says PSVP（please reply），you have to tell the host if you will be going or not．
You don’t have to bring a gift with you．However, people think it is polite to bring a small gift if you have been invited for a meal or are going to stay for a few days．If you are going for dinner, the host or hostess will be happy if you give him or her a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine．
A guest should ask their host or hostess if they can help in the kitchen．Offering to help is more important than actually helping．If your visit was for a few days，you could send a thank you letter to the host or hostess．If you had a meal，you could give them a telephone call to say thank you．Why should you ring someone before you visit them?

A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling left out at break because her best friend wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her, and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around，maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．
Start by looking around your classroom-thinking about which kids you’d like to play with at break。Look for chances to say hi to them，smile and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation（欣赏）to them．Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” at lunchtime．When you are at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly, share，say nice things，offer to help，and pretty soon，you’11 have one，or two，or even more new friends．
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!This passage is written for ________．

Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese．But one year ago，the l4-year-old girl from Heilongjiang began to write her diaries in English，because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly．She changed the language because her mother can’t read English．“It’s like killing two birds with one stone，”said Jia．“My privacy（隐私）becomes safe and my English improves a lot．”
Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary．Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2，300 parents．The results show that about 40％ of parents read their children’s secrets．That’s why, like Jia，many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy．
Wu Lei，15，of Shanxi，keeps a diary, too．But he doesn’t write it on paper．He writes online， which he thinks it perfectly safe because his parents “know nothing about the Internet．”
Lu Huan，13．of Guangdong，said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in theft room．To solve this problem，Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone．
“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives，”said Shao Xiaozhen，a teenage expert in Beijin9．“But sometimes they go about it the wrong way．” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets，talking to parents is a better solution．”If your parents know that you are safe，they’11 let you keep your secrets．”Jia Meng writes her diaries in English in order to improve her English．
Recently, Renmen University of China had a national survey, and the results show that about 40％ of parents read their children’s secrets．
Keeping a dairy online is the best way to protect their privacy according to the article．
Lu Huan asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone in order to protect her privacy．
Shao Xiaozhen thinks parents will let children keep their secrets，if they talk to parents and let parents know they are safe．
