Come to Austria(奥地利)！     Soll is a village in the mountains in western Austria. And the Post Hotel is clean and not expensive. It is opened by a local family. From the hotel you can see the whole village, the forests and the mountains. Temperatures in summer are usually 20 to 25 in the daytime, but much cooler by evening.

Enjoy Thailand(泰国)！     When you visit Bangkok in Thailand, don't miss the early morning river boat trip to the Floating(漂浮) Market just outside the city. There you will find many kinds of fruits and vegetables. And you can pay for them when you sit in your boat. Don't forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40 at noon.

Visit Hawaii！     Maybe the most beautiful place in Hawaii is Kauai. You can visit its long, sandy beaches in the south and west of the island, and mountains and forests in the north, but don't be surprised if it rains in the centre of the island. Daytime temperatures there are usually around 24 to 26 by the sea, and only a little cooler by late evening.

A week has passed since the head teacher scolded（责骂，斥责） her at the school sports meeting, but Jin Ning, 14, still felt unhappy.

The head teacher scolded her for wearing tight clothes instead of the school uniform. But actually Jin wore those clothes to run faster and was going to put on the school uniform after the race.

    "I was wronged," Jin said. "I felt angry and sad."

    Many students come across similar things with Jin. Sometimes, teachers don't fully know the situation and they make their judgments. It easily leads to misunderstandings. Such things are not only bad for the relationship between students and teachers, but also the healthy development of students.

    Zhang Yu, 14, from Anhui Province, thought the best way was to talk to teacher "in private" after some time. "Refuting teachers in public is impolite and will make teachers angrier," she said.

    Liu Chun, a teacher from Heilongjiang Province, agreed with Zhang. She said many teachers hurt students' feelings without meaning to. "Students are sensitive. After all, teachers cannot know everything," she said. "So I hope students can come to teachers to clear up the misunderstandings."

    For those who feel too shy to do that, Jin offered another choice. She wrote a letter to her teacher. "He talked to me later on and now we're good," she said happily.
