Now, almost everybody knows the hottest English word "selfie". Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford (牛津) online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smart phone and send them to Wechat (微信) or Qzone (QQ 空間).

"Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone," said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.

Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. "She has used many selfies to tell us about her life and work," said Li.

What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism (自戀). "The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. We’re crying out: Look at me!" said US psychiatrist(精神科醫(yī)生) Carole Lieberman.

Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in the Guardian. (《衛(wèi)報》) "The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others," wrote Freedland.

Huang Xu agrees with that. “During the summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each other’s holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.

I’m punctual(守時的) in my work life, but not in my personal life. However, it’s OK in my country. We, Brazilians, are always late: if the party is at 8, everyone shows up at 10 and everyone, including the host, is happy that we are on time. Cheers!

Lisa Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

I’m a Japanese working in Colombia. It is good manners to arrive a little late for a party in Colombia, which I have never understood. I always try to be early for everything, or I consider it impolite.

Mike Tokyo, Japan

Of course! My friends and I all believe that showing up late for an appointment or class is an insult(冒犯) to the person(s) we are meeting. It seems to say, “My time is more important than yours.”

Vera Lausanne, Switzerland

Not only am I “punctual”, but I am always early for most events in my life. The secret is (and it really works!): I keep all the clocks (except my computer) in my life 10 minutes fast!

Wang Cai Shenzhen, China

For an appointment, I always make sure I’m on time. Once I had a friend who was always late for every meeting. If we made it at 9 and it was a 45-minute trip for her, then she would arrive at 9:45. I liked her a lot, but could not stand the unpunctuality.
