21、tes probably will not make a Brazilian angry.When you go to a restaurant, be careful to greet the people who work at the place, and dont forget to greet the people who are already waiting for you at the table.

27、cond. Since all activities remain interesting for only so long, too much homework can lead to boredom. So, why are some kids getting homework overload?Teachers give two reasons.

28、dont succeed, the school faces punishment. Second, many parents want their children to be able to get into the best colleges and universities. These parents believe homework is a way to make sure that students are learning as much as possible.People who favor homework argue that it can have many ben
