Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(帳單)for the job.
My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “ It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it ? ”
“ I'll decide about that when I see the bill, ” I said.
John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

“Me, too, ” said John. “ You wait it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month. ”
“Yes, Cold and more expensive! Dining tables will be £20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John? ”
John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him .

Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face. (3)_______ If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you.
