Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.

China has banned (禁止) free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1 last year. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin plastic bags has also been banned.

The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there.

They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.

The English language is different from any other language. Yet English words do not stay the same. The language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.

English can change by borrowing words from other languages. Tomato was borrowed from Mexico and pajamas from Indian. The word coffee came from Turkey, and tea came from China. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too.

New words are also made by adding two words together. Strawberry, popcorn, and grandfather are words made up of two parts.

Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word photo was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word. Plane was made by cutting off the front part of airplane. Smog was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words smoke and fog.

The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named Sandwich. Scotch Tape, Band-aid and Jello were names made up by the companies that first made the products.

Since last year I've given up driving and taken the bus to work every day, which has aroused quite a bit of curiosity among colleagues because few people take a bus to work in my office.

My easy explanation is that I'm tired of driving, and taking the bus allows me to think before my work starts. a day’s , hard, work I ,also, a ride, like,to ,be given , home, after, .

Perhaps everybody would be more convinced(使信服） if I told them that I take the bus because it's quite cheap, while driving a car is expensive and inconvenient.A bus trip costs 0.4 yuan or 6-7 cents with the use of a stored value card（储值卡）, which is almost free if you consider a Coke costs five times that or more. Beijing has a flat-rate subway fare with unlimited transfers of 2 yuan per single-trip ticket. I would take the more comfortable subway, if it was closer to my home and workplace.

But most of my colleagues, especially the younger ones who want to own a car, have responded with disbelief, as they picture me walking to the bus stop under smoggy skies. I believe they would be amused(被逗乐的）if they read the findings of a study of British workers, which found that going to work by bus or train has become very popular. Because most journeys will not only include walking to the bus station or stop, but also include time to read or talk to friends while traveling according to recent British media reports.
