Different countries have different tipping customs.When you travel,you need to know how to tip in the country that you’re in;otherwi you’ll leave rvers angry everywhere you go.Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world.
Brazil
There will always be a standard10%rvice charge added to your bill,and you won’t necessarily have to tip.If you do feel like being generous,an extra5-10%will really make your rver very happy.Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible—Brazilians don’t make a big show of this. Dubai
In Dubai it’s a rule for restaurants to charge10%tip on all restaurant and bar bills.You can add a couple of dirhams(迪拉姆，货币单位)to this if you feel like it.Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai,so it is always very appreciated.

German bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe,but that’s not all you have to pay.It is a custom to round the bill up after that,usually to the euro.This can be anywhere from5-10%.When it’s time to ttle up,you won’t get a bill:your waiter tells you the total and then you tell them how much you want to pay,including your“tip”,and hand over the money.

My nephew came for a visit one hot,July weekend.I persuaded him to stay inside by joining him in a Nintendo game.After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player,I suggested that we relax for a while.He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of peace and quiet.
“Look,Alice,”he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering.“I found a kite.Could we go outside and fly it?”
Glancing out of a nearby window,I noticed there was not a breeze(微风).“I'm sorry,Tripper,”I said,sad to e his disappointed eyes,but thankful for the short period of rest from more activities.“The wind is not blowing today.The kite won’t fly.”
The determined10-year-old replied.“I think it’s windy enough.I can get it to fly,”he answered,as he hurried out through the back door.I peeked through the curtains to watch determination in action.Up and down the yard he ran,pulling the kite attached to a small length of string.The plastic kite,proudly
displaying a picture of Batman,remained about shoulder level.
He ran back and forth,as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him,looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind.After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination,he came back in.
I asked,“How did it go?”“Fine,”he said,“I got it to fly some.”As he walked past me to return the kite to the clot shelf,I heard him say under his breath,“I guess I'll have to wait for the wind.”
晶字组词At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart.“Alice,sometimes you are just like that.You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.”And the voice was right.We usually want to u our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do.We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength.We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!

When students got their textbooks at the beginning of the year at San Mateo High School,they also r
eceived the Yondr pouch Youdr(口袋),a locking device for their phones.The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic(磁力的)device.It’s not unlocked again until the final bell rings.The procedure will repeat every day for the rest of the school year.
Adam Gelb,the vice-president,ran a pilot project last year with20students and decided to do a school-wide,bell to bell program for this school year.The Yondr pouch is a start-up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone-free spaces,something that is the very thought with Gelb.
“I really think it’s about being prent and engaging in the adult that’s trying to teach you,and your peers that might be in your small group.That’s part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread,”he said.
Brad Friedman,another teacher at the school,said he was becoming concerned with overu of phones at school.He said he often saw students completely lost on their phones,some not socializing at all with other students.
This week,he’s already eing the difference.“Everyone el was socializing and eating lunch together.That’s what I wasn’t eing enough of when phone usage is at its worst,”he said.

A nior at San Mateo High School Djelani Phillips-Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone.“I panicked,I guess.Last year when we had phones,I was using it every day,”he said.
In ca of emergency,every classroom has the unlocking device.Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and desk phones.“We’ve gotten all1,700students unlocked with a matter of minutes,”said Gelb.
We spoke to four students who,despite their initial panic,agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits.
