    In a city in France, a history teacher named Mitchell found a note in an old book. It said there was a large amount of treasure buried on an island near the city.

Mitchell invited his school's gym teacher Scott to go with him to the island. They brought water, food, and set out for the island. At first, they thought they would find the treasure and be back in a day or two. However, they got lost at sea and had no idea how to get back home.

They finished all of their food by the seventh day. There was just half a bottle of water left. Scott kept it from Mitchell and wouldn't let him drink it.

"Please, give me some water." Mitchell begged. Hegrabbed atthe bottle and started fighting with Scott. In the end. Scott beat Mitchell to death.

Two days later, Scott was rescued (获救). He went onboard the rescue ship and took off his hat. His head was all wet with sweat.

Officer Derek watched Scott board the boat. He waited for Scott to tell his story. Scott later said that he killed Mitchell accidentally. He said he was trying to stop Mitchell from drinking seawater. By that time, they hadn't had any fresh water to drink for seven days.

"Are you sure that you hadn't had any water for seven days?" Derek said.

"Yes, it was all my fault. I was just trying to stop him from drinking the seawater," Scott answered

"I see. That's quite interesting, Scott. I think you're lying. You killed him on purpose so you wouldn't have to share any fresh water with him."

How did Derek know that Scott was lying?

    In the summer of 2019, Sasha Olsen took a boat trip with her family to Asia. The ten-year-old girl was very excited before setting off. However, when she saw serious plastic pollution in the ocean and many dying sea animals, she felt sad.

Olsen became even more upset after returning home to South Florida. Some local beaches had been closed because of plastic pollution. The girl decided it was time to do something. She joined forces with her cousin, Narmina Aliyev, and started the "I Want My Ocean Back" movement.

The movement started small. The two, together with their friends, cleaned up local beaches. Later, they hosted events to raise money for beach cleanups. Olsen has encouraged many other kids in her city to join her. Last summer, she organized "Kids Heal the Oceans." The girl spoke about how to stop pollution. After that, her guests made art out of the plastic that had been gathered from their beach cleanups.

Olsen and her younger sister Mia have been working on a book about the ocean. They want to show how pollution in the oceans affects children. "I want my sister to care about the ocean as much as I do." said Olsen. "I want to set an example not only to my generation but also to the generation after me."

Olsen and Aliyev now hope to extend their movement to other seaside cities. Olsen has set up a channel on the video-sharing platform YouTube. She posts videos from events. And for her "Table Talks" interviews, she chats with people from different professions (行业) about the ocean. After the interview, she and her guest will create a painting. After having been signed by the guest, the painting will be sold to raise money for environmental organizations.

"To bring back clean oceans, we need everybody's effort." said Olsen. "Do something, or we will all have to swim in oceans with lots of waste instead of with beautiful sea animals!"

    As an English language teacher, I have come into contact with many different cultures. Now, let's see some of my interesting and special experiences.

When some Saudi Arabian students invited me to their houses for meals, we sat on the floor to eat. When I complimented(赞美) a student on his smart coat, he offered it to me! That seems to be the expected response in some parts of the Arab world. When I asked a Saudi student when his birthday was, he said he didn't know. I kept asking him the same question, thinking he didn't understand, but the problem was that in some parts of the Arab world, people simply don't celebrate their birthdays.

When I was invited to a meal by some Japanese students. I was shocked that I had to take my shoes off before going into the house. I have noticed that when I ask Japanese students a question, they often don't say anything until they have the answer. The silence is longer than we expect in English culture, where you normally make some kind of noise to show that you are thinking about the questions.

We had a group of Chinese teachers here. They made their tea in their cups. Boiling water was added to the same leaves when they wanted another cup of tea. I found this interesting because we make our tea in a teapot, using boiling water. But new leaves or teabags are used every time we want another pot of tea. And we usually put milk or sugar in the tea.

Cultural differences haven't brought me any real problems. They just make life interesting.
