Eating habits are different in many countries. The Chinese have a saying， “ Eat good things for breakfast， eat a big meal for lunch， but eat less at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast， but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small meal. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family members， talking about their day is a way to rest after a long， hard day of work.
Eating at restaurant is also different. In China， people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly， and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. People want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noise of the outside world. If some people are talking too loudly， the manager（经理） may come out and ask them to leave.

Most mobile phone companies design（设计）models especially for children. But parents are usually the ones buying the phones, and paying the phones. According to a study, 56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a mobile phone. Most children get their first mobile phone at the age of 12.
Many parents think it’s necessary for children to have a mobile phone because it helps children stay in touch with their friends and families. They believe that mobile phones are an important tool when something happens suddenly. Children can stay connected with their parents at all times. Some people think mobile phones help teach children to be responsible.
But other people are worried about the health and safety of children’s mobile phones. They believe that sending messages while doing homework is bad for children’s concentration（注意力）. They say that children are spending too much time sending messages instead of talking to each other. But we do need to communicate face to face. Also, the radiation（辐射）that the mobile phones give off can be harmful to young people.
What do you think? If you have any idea about it, please tell me.
