Stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travellers.In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to somecountries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them dont have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the worlds second worst tourists.If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudlyand smoking in non-smoking areas.

In the following weeks he learned how to control himself better and the number of the nails he hammered became smaller and smaller. He learned it was easier to control himself than to hammer nails.The day finally came when he didnt hammer any nails. He went to tell his mother about it. Then his mother told him to pull off a nail from the fence each time he didnt lose his patience. After some days he told his mother that all the nails had been pulled off. Thus, she took him to the fence and said to him, “Youve behaved（表现）well, but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be again like it was before.
