When Amelia opened the door, she was very surprised. Instead of seeing a human outside, she found a small creature(生物)with very large ears.

“W-w-what do you want?” she cried. Amelia was worried that she had made a mistake in letting the creature in.

“Oh, some help, please. Nothing to worry about,” the creature replied as if it could read her mind. “My name is Hastings, and I come from a planet called Haste. You probably have not heard of it because it’s not in your galaxy (星系).”

“Sorry, I haven’t. However, I’m not sure if I can help you.” she replied. “But first, would you like some tea? I was so amazed to see you could speak that I forgot my manners.”

“Thank you, but I’m fine. Manners! Yes! That’s what I’ve come about. It is a good habit to have good manners,” Hastings said. “Unluckily, our children on planet Haste are so hasty that they forget them. So I thought I would come to Earth, and ask for some advice. Do you think you can be of help?”

“Well, I don’t know how,” said Amelia.

“I was wondering if you could write a blog(博客). On Haste, our children take more notice of things on their tablet screens than they do of their parents,” Hastings said sadly, “Too much technology in our lives”.

“That’s terrible. Every child should listen to their parents. After all, parents teach you good and bad habits for life, including manners. They do not just teach you about the right food to eat, but also about things like time management and having proper schedules. If you don’t have these things, then your life will be in a mess. You won’t be able to make right decisions. Then there are not things like honesty and thankfulness. Developing these is as important as proper hygiene(衛(wèi)生)and taking exercise,” said Amelia.  

“Exactly. 33 , ” said Hastings. “Now let’s make a plan.”
