    After a month the man came to the doctor again, "How are you?" said the doctor, "I'm glad to see you again. You look much younger." "Oh! Doctor, I feel quite well now," said the man. "I had a good rest. I went to bed early, drank a lot of milk and walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me, but you told me to smoke one cigar a day almost killed me at first, It's no joke to start smoking at my age! "

    Great changes have taken place in the last years. I remember when I first came to Beijing. I saw old houses e , and now many things haven't been seen yet. For example, there were several rows of tall trees in front of the Friendship Hotel, but for making the roads w , they had been cut off. What a pity! I am an English teacher, I like China very much. I changed my career from business to education only b I didn't want to leave Beijing. If it is possible, I'll stay here all my life. My parents live in Guilin, and I go home twice a year. But every time after staying there some days, I begin to miss my home in Beijing. About my children, I like them to live with me, instead of letting them be independent, after they are eighteen years old. Awesterners do, when they grow up, they will go to Britain for fstudy there. Step by step they will enjoy Chinese customs, they will come back China after they finish their study.
