　　Dear Liz，

　　My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life．

　　Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city．There are Mr．and Mrs．Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．

　　I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda．The school teaches about 70 percent in English，and 30 percent in Thai．I've learned some spoken language，but Thai writing is very difficult．The cooking lesson is my favourite．I'm learning all about Thai food and culture People don't use chopsticks here，but spoons and forks．When I come back，I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal．

　　Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next，we’re going to travel to Mr．Phairat，s hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they have two elephants．I'm going to ride those elephants-and even wash them．Sanan and Chinda say it's really fun．

　　I'm amazed by everything in this country，especially by the elephants．Elephants are an important pan of Thai culture and way of life．They have been a traditional symbol(象征)of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace．In the seventh century，a Thai king trained 20，000 elephants for battle．

　　I'll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳击)lessons next time I write．

Love,

Mandy

　　There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school．For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully．We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops．We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands．We need to know how to make best choices when we shop．

　　Knowing how to make such choices is a“life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to lead useful and happy lives．

　　Some of these choices are small．For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I get the bus to school today or will I walk? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important．For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make decisions like this every day．

　　Making the wrong choices can result in unhappiness．We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives．Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people．The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, consider this：who else does your choice affect?
