　　Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner. This week’s question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation with the foreigners he sees every day.
　　This student asks, “Is it OK to talk to foreigners I see in the Street ”The answer is Yes and No, but probably No! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask them“May I help you?” But, otherwise you should probably let them get on with their business situations , however, do exist where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. For example, if a foreigner enters your school, classroom, office, shop or restaurant, you can ask them：
—What is your name?
—Where do you come from?
—What do you think of Ji’nan?
—How long will you stay in Ji’nan?
—There are also situations where it’s OK to talk to foreigners in public places.
　　If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate (合适的)to ask him or her：
—Is this seat free?
—Do you mind if I talk to you in English?
　　You can probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone, you may be able to make them feel more welcome. After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you’re in luck. If not, then give them their privacy (独处).Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place.

　　Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch and clothes. They leave your hands free to do other things, especially when you are carrying something heavy.
　　Now inventors from the US have invented a backpack that makes electricity while its wearer walks.
　　In the new backpack, the metal pack frame is attached to the body but the carrying part hangs from springs attached to the frame. The springs connect with a special green rod. As you walk, the rod moves up and down. It turns a gear(齿轮)on a generator(电动机)that makes electricity.
　　The special backpack could be useful for soldiers, scientists and hikers who carry heavy things. These people often depend on battery powered items such as GPS and night vision glasses to get around. Since the pack can make its own electricity, users don't need to carry batteries.
　　For the rest of us, the new backpack could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV and listen to music at the same time. The invention has not been on the market yet, but if you do get one some day, just make sure to have a try!
