If you're traveling to the United States，you need to understand the common way to say hello－a handshake. Friends shake hands. Women，men and even children can shake hands.

Shaking hands also seems simple，but there are some important things to remember. When you shake hands，you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.

Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake，the other person might think that you're not kind. He / She might also feel that you don't like him / her or you don't want to touch him / her. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child，be careful not to hurt them.

Some people don't know how long to keep shaking. The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go. Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.

Your handshake is like your smile. It's special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like. Because the handshake allows people to touch，the hand should be warm，clean and dry.

Warm：Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands. This will warm them.

Clean：If you know you're going to meet someone，wash your hands so they'll be clean.

Dry：Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn't a good feeling for the other person. Again，put your hands into your pockets. This will dry them.

If you do not live by the sea, you may not think a lot about oceans during your daily life. But World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8 every year, is a good time to think about how amazing and important oceans are.

The world's oceans cover nearly three fourths of the Earth's surface. Oceans are of great importance for the life on the earth. Firstly, they are a great source of food for people around the world. Secondly, many people make a living by catching fish. There are also a lot of people who sell or cook seafood to support their family. Finally, the ocean is necessary for the health of our planet. Oceans absorb（吸收）much of the heat from the sun. Oceanic plants can produce oxygen. They can also provide food for sea animals.

Today, many dangers threaten（威胁）the health of oceans. Plastic pollution is one of the problems. Many plastic products that people throw away often reach the ocean. Many animals mistake plastic waste for their food and eat it. That is one of the reasons why many sea animals die every year.

But it doesn't have to be this way, does it? So, we hope you can spend some time thinking about what you can do to protect oceans on this special day, and you may find your part.
