Mr. Zhou is a Chinese teacher of Grade 1 in a school. One day when he into the classroom, he heard a low , “Here is the teacher. I don’t like him because he is an fellow (家伙) . I’m sure the unfair fellow is going to putting in commas (逗号) today.” It was Bill’s voice. He was talking with a boy next to him.
The teacher didn’t get angry. He said about it, but began to talk about putting commas, and then he down on the blackboard the sentence, “Bill says his is an unfair fellow.” The class laughed and Bill’s face red.
“Now,” said the teacher. “I’ll show you important commas are.”

Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. “I don’t understand, but I 16 your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a 17 from Suzhou. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider(蜘蛛) on the table so I killed it for her and she seemed very 18 . Do English people like spiders?”
“Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop 19 , so there was a ladder. Grandmother 20 me walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought a smart 21 for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to wonder 22 it was all right. Your grandmother came in and 23 !”
“Then I broke a small 24 in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left I gave 25 grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She 26 it. I think she was happy I was going.”
I 27 to Lu, “My grandmother follows the old customs(习俗). You must not give someone an empty purse 28 they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider” or the same will happen. It is very unlucky to walk under a ladder and to put new shoes on the table. A(n) 29 umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years’ bad luck, and 13 is 30 a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid. ”
