People say that the world is getting smaller with the help of the Internet, the telephone and transportation. We can write emails to greet friends in other countries. It takes only 10 hours to fly from Beijing to London. The high speed of economic growth and increasing amount of international collaboration has made people all over the world become closer to each other.
People from different countries are getting closer to form a “global village” where people live as neighbors. They breathe the same air and grow up under the same sky.
But there are differences among all these villagers. First, they don’t all look the same with different skin colors. Second, because they are from different cultural groups, they have their own traditional clothes. For example, women wear Kimonos in Japan while in China, many women like wearing Qipao, a type of dress, for some important events. A country exists in its culture and traditions. Every country has its own customs. Chinese people around the world celebrate Mid-Autumn Day, while Americans celebrate Halloween.
People don’t always live peacefully either. There are wars and disagreements over land, water, energy and even ideas. That’s why people set up the United Nations to help with these problems.

Shirley Temple, the famous child movie star, passed away on February 10, 2014, at the age of 85. It was a sad day to many people in the world, especially to Americans. Temple was born on April 23, 1928. She was discovered at the age of three by a talent agent at her dancing school. In 1934, she acted in Bright Eyes. From then on, she became world famous. Later, she performed in films such as Curly Top and Heidi. However, the most exciting thing about her was her winning an Oscar in 1935. The award was given to her for her success in the film in 1934.
For many Americans born in the 1930s and 1940s, Temple was not just an on-screen star; she was also a close friend in their childhood.
Though Temple has passed away, she was remembered by the world as the forever “little angel” with the cute curls and bright smile. Many Hollywood stars felt deep sorry for her death. An American actress said, “Little Shirley Temple raised up a nation during the Great Depression.” Shirley Temple, the forever “little angle”, will always live in our hearts.
