今天來篇慶祝單身的文章,
’Tipping’, ’gratuity’ or ’service’ is handled very differently in the UK and America. It’s important to get this right when you visit each place as it can affect whether the staff in bars, cafe, restaurant, hotels, hairdressers, and the drivers of taxis or buses think that you are lovely, rude, strange, or whether they chase you down the street!
In the UK...
In the UK the reason for tipping is to show that you really liked the service. In the UK we have a high minimum wage, and no-one can be paid below this amount for any work, so when you tip, it is mainly showing politeness to the service person, and to acknowledge that they did an excellent job.
You can tip more or less depending on how good you thought the service was, and the average tip is around 10-20%. So if you loved your new 50 pound haircut, you should add another 5-10 pounds onto your bill, and this will go directly to the hairdresser! If you didn’t like the service, don’t tip! This is the case even if ’service’ has been added to your bill. If you didn’t like the service, you can always refuse to pay. Or if you are a student, traveller on a budget, or simply can’t afford to, it’s also ok not to spend the extra money.

絕招一:蠶食鯨吞法
準備一本字彙書或筆記,該書的結構應該是:英文在最左邊的位置,中文在最右邊;中間則要空下來寫「提示」,提示這個字「該怎麼背」。背單字的方法依每個字彙的不同,可能是依據字根、諧音、形狀、例句等。以此表單為例,我們在下面整理了「蠶食鯨吞法」的基本背法及步驟:
