　　If you ask me to tell how to get along in the United States, I think the following “dos” and “don'ts” would be helpful.

　　Generally (通常) speaking, it isn't easy to find anyone to talk to in a busy city. So you should try to do the following. First, get or borrow a dog! Walk with him several times a day! Americans love dogs and cats and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People generally share (分享) the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are new here. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry (洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry them and people there often pass time?talking with each other. Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a men if you are a woman! Learn to say, “Please.”“Thank you”and “You are welcome”and use them all the time.

　　There are some things you shouldn't do. Don't tell the truth when people ask “How are you?” The only a swer they want is “Fine”. Never ask people their age especially woman! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they re losing weight. Everyone wants to be thin. Don't be late when meeting people! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and want everyone to be “on time”.

　　We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information mid so on. In recent years, a new kind of English.has grown on the Internet. There’s no real word for it yet, so we’ll call it E-talk. People don’t like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (alled acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms（聊天室）. Some of them are: BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back) LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion). People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are: info (information), puter (computer), pic (picture), sec (second). We usually don’t see people when we communicate（交流）on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw “feelings”, such as:
