Thanksgiving was just around the corner. The menu had been set. The shopping list was made. Everything seemed perfect. I could taste turkey and mashed potatoes（火雞和土豆泥）. Pictures of different pies, fruit and vegetables came into my mind. I couldn't wait！

The day before Thanksgiving my dad called a family meeting. He said we needed to practice being thankful. "We are going to help out at a homeless shelter（收容所）on Thanksgiving Day.” I couldn't believe this was happening. So we wouldn't cook our own Thanksgiving dinner. The holiday wouldn't be the same. I thought the day would be ruined.

The next morning. we got up early. I followed my father to the shelter with my sleepy eyes. I had no great expectations and felt down all the way. As soon as we arrived, we got to work. There was so much to be done. But all I could think about was the dinner I couldn't enjoy.

However, those thoughts soon disappeared. Over the next few hours, I watched hundreds of people come through the shelter. For some, this was the only hot meal they would eat that week. For others, it was the first time to eat a Thanksgiving meal. The shelter was filled with joy.

Through this experience, I learned that Thanksgiving is a time to think about your blessings（祝福）and look for ways to bless others. When I gave up what I had wanted, I discovered how much I have. It is much better to give than to receive. In the end, that Thanksgiving became an unforgettable experience.

Learn how to drive safely in the UK

British roads are the safest in the world一in 2010, only 3. 8 people out of 100, 000 died in road accidents. This number is lower than that in any other country. If you go there, you should try to drive the same way as British people do. This is some advice for visitors who plan to go driving in the UK.

Drive on the left side of the road. In most countries, people drive on the right side. Many visitors have problems because they forget about this difference.

If there is line of cars, don't try to go past other people to get to the front. This is called "jumping the line". If you do this, other people will get angry with you.

Stop at the traffic lights. In the UK, drivers always stop when the light is red, although there aren't any cars or people around.

Don't use your horn（喇叭）too much. If you do, people will think you are not polite. If another driver flashes（閃光）their lights at you, then they are probably trying to tell you that they will wait for you to go first.

If you have an accident, then don't try to bribe（賄賂）the police! If you do, you might finish your visit in prison（監(jiān)獄）.

Paper or plastic?

After paper, plastic seems to be the most popular material for making banknotes. Compared with paper money, plastic banknotes are stronger and last for a longer time, so people can keep using them. But they are much more expensive to make.

The fifth edition of the Renminbi (RMB) came out on Aug. 30, 2019. These bills will have brighter colors and new security features, which will make printing fake（假的）money even harder. We've been using banknotes for around 1, 000 years. Back in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese people made the world's earliest paper money to replace metal coins（金屬硬幣）. These banknotes were called jiaozi.

Obviously, paper money is cheaper to make and easier to carry. These advantages made it more popular than other forms of money. But now, in the digital（數(shù)碼的）age, paper money seems to be disappearing for the same reason-what's more convenient than not having to carry any money at all?

My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. 在中國, 我出去的時(shí)候很少帶錢。I can pay for almost everything by Alipay. It's amazing. However, if you don't take wallet with you, you'll get into trouble.

-Sam from India

China seems to be heading toward becoming a cashless society. From supermarkets to street stalls（小攤）, people pay by using the WeChat Wallet and Alipay apps on their mobile phones. Sweden is even closer to a future without paper money. Many Swedish banks no longer even have cash on hand.

But there are worries about creating cashless societies. Some say, "It's unfair to the poor and people without too much education.”It's not easy for them to open bank accounts（賬戶）or deal with mobile phones. And if all of your money is digital, you may lose your money if your accounts are hacked（黑客攻擊）.

Although paper money is in a losing war with electronic payment in some countries, it's still a big thing in most parts of the world. It may take a little longer than you think to see it go away.
