The latest target(目标) for TV advertisers is children in Asia. Asian families are getting smaller and wealthier, and Asian children are watching more and more TV. It is said that the average Hong Kong child sees about 25,000 TV advertisements a year.

To get the attention (and the money) of these young audiences, the advertisers use little actors. “The kids share the same feelings with someone from their own age group,” says one advertiser, “so this kind of advertisement is more effective. And, of course, the little actors earn big money.”

Not everyone is happy to see kids turned into buyers. “Advertising to children is wrong,” said Pasty Liang, “because its aim is to make them ask their parents for money to buy things. Also, many things advertised, such as toys, are silly and encourage violence. If a child buys them, he or she will learn nothing.” Some educators believe that if young people watch the ads, they will become more and more materialistic.

Some people even think it wrong to use little actors in TV advertisements. “It is illegal for kids to work in factories, so why are they allowed to work in ads? Also, considering the high salaries, it is bad for children to have too much money.” said Elvis Hu.

As an advertiser, J W Lu clearly has his own opinion about this. “It is nothing wrong with children earning a lot of money or asking their parents to buy things for them. Besides, kids buy toys to have fun, not to learn from.”

Anyway, governments are beginning to take action to protect children. An ad would not be allowed to appear on TV if it made children feel inferior(低人一等的) because they didn’t own the advertised product.

It’s said that one can know the nature of both man and woman by their behaviors at table. Indeed table manners are closely related to one’s life and one’s job. As the saying goes “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, English learners should know what the proper table manners are in western countries if invited to a dinner party. The followings are some suggestions that may be helpful to you.

The first important thing you need to know is when to begin eating. Before dinner, the hostess usually serves guests first and herself last. So do not eat as soon as you are served but wait until the hostess has also been served and has picked up her fork as the signal to begin. But at a large dinner party where there are many guests, the hostess may ask everyone to begin eating as soon as they are served.

If you want to talk while eating, your mouth should certainly not be full of food because it is considered very bad manners. But it is possible to speak with a little food in the mouth. When you have to answer a question, naturally you must wait until the food in your mouth is eaten. When a dish is passed to you with a fork in the plate, you should use it to take your food. Do not take too much at a time and make sure that the other guests can have enough food.

Anyway, good table manners are very important and they are not so simple as we thought.

But it is necessary for one to know what good table manners are because they can help one succeed in his life!

The message was short. I read it three times. “Hey, Mom, can I come to see you guys?” I wrote back, “Yes!” He said he hoped to make it in time for dinner.

I made a quick run to the market, put sheets on the guest bed and set the TV to record the Warriors’ game, so if traffic was awful, he wouldn’t have to miss the first half. Then I began cooking, cleaning, watching the clock and listening for his footsteps coming up the walk. It’s called waiting. I’m good at it. When he was a newborn, I’d wait for him to go to sleep. Soon then I’d stand by his bed waiting for him to wake up. I waited, as he learned to do things like walking , talking and feeding himself; throwing a ball, riding a bike and reading a book. I waited for him to start preschool, primary school, middle school and college.

I waited withdread for him to start driving. And I waited up every time he came home late. I wait for my son to grow up, but that doesn’tmean the waiting game is over.It never really ends. Mothers wait for all kinds of reasons—good news or bad, happiness or heartache. But the
