Sunshine in the smiles
Sunlight always makes us feel warm while overcast and rainy days bring us annoyance easily.Therefore,we are supposed to give others warmth,sunshine as well as smile.
Sitting on the plane back home,I didn’t entertain myself,didn’t rest much and not any video games either.Instead,I just silently figured what I learned and gained in Canada.After a long time,I knew that it was the difference among people that really mattered.
Canadian people’s personal qualities made a huge impression on me.I just couldn’t forget their unadorned earthy attitude towards life and quietness as well.But eventually,I was moved by their sincere smile,that nice,kind and innocent,as if I were exposed fully to the sunlight.
When I wandered in the street,passers-by smiled at me.When I queued in order to visit places of interest there,I also saw ticket inspectors’ smiles.The most unforgettable experience happened when I accidentally broke some plates in the restaurant,still the waiter gave me the meritorious smiles with a simple That’s OK.,which deeply touched my heart.
This is the most apparent distinction between Canadian people and Chinese residents.When I recall my memories back home,almost every passer-by in China keeps a straight,frosty face.Even if sometimes I see the occasional teeny-weeny radian appearing on the corners of the mouth,it only lasts a little while.
Through this journey,I do not impose myself that I wear smiles all the time,but I will constantly remind myself that I shall not show the ice cold face to others.I firmly believe that in the near future,I will also posses the amicable smiles of Canadian people.
