Most people have a cellphone(手机). When you are walking on a busy street, you will see many people speaking on their phones. Many people say they can’t imagine how they live without a cellphone.
Cellphones play an important role in our daily life, such as keeping in touch with others, calling home or the police if there is any emergency. Although cellphones can help us a lot, we must think of others when we use them. Unfortunately, some people do not consider others when using their cellphones. For example, some cellphone users speak too loudly and discuss personal matters in public places. Some people make phone calls in the cinema. Some people talk for a long time on the phone while they are driving on the busy road. Someone’s cellphone will ring during an important meeting. Many people complain about these bad manners. In their opinion, cellphone users shouldn’t disturb others when they make a call.
Then how to use a cellphone politely in public? The following rules will help you. When you’re in a meeting, watching a movie or having a lesson, you’d better turn off your cellphone. When you get a call and you’re with friends, try to make the call as short as you can. If you are waiting for an important call, then make sure that you tell others about this at the beginning of a meeting. It’s rude to scream(尖叫声) or shout on the phone. Make sure you will be heard only by the caller but not by the others around you. Besides, if possible, find a quiet place where you can talk in private.

Everyone may feel it difficult to fit in with a new culture. However, you needn’t change everything about yourself, because all of your experiences are part of you and make you special. The following tips may help you live in a new culture more easily.
Teach people your culture. You’re the one who meets the new culture, but it doesn’t mean you should be the one doing all the learning. Take the opportunity to teach new friends your culture. They may know little about it. Invite them for traditional dishes from your culture, or show them how you celebrate your holidays.
Find a support group. Find people in your neighborhood who recently moved here. You can share experiences, cheer each other up when things get difficult, and introduce each other to the new friends you’ve made.
Keep in touch with home. You probably left behind your good friends and family when you move. If it’s a long time, keep in touch with them. Write letters, send emails, and make phone calls so that you can learn about the things happening there, and talk about your new experiences. Keep pictures around to remind you of home.
Remember: the key to getting over your culture shock(文化冲击)is to understand the new culture and find a way to live comfortably within it  52  keeping your culture in your heart.
It’s important to be yourself. Do not change too fast or too many things at once. You should have your own style. So, maintain(保持)what’s important to you and find a good combination between old and new cultures, and you’ll be fine.
