Brush your teeth every day, dentists say. In the south of Africa, some people brush their teeth all day long.

They keep a small stick in their mouth to chew or scrub (洗刷)their teeth all day. People cut the sticks from trees. They are the African toothbrushes. People there are used to brushing their teeth with sticks.

Africans think the sticks work better than toothbrushes. The sticks come from nature, and it is said that there is something special about them. The special thing may stop many kinds of tooth problems. "If you have a bad tooth, it is a medicine," said Diop, a seller in Africa.

The sticks are also much cheaper than toothbrushes.

In Senegal(塞内加尔), the chewing stick is called "sothio". It means "to clean" in their language. In east Africa, the stick is called "mswaki". It's their word for "toothbrush".

Giving flowers to others is a way of showing feelings to them. Although it's one of the oldest traditions, it has never lost its charm and never will. It's a simple way that speaks much for givers, much more than the most expensive gift can. A red rose carries a message of love, and a bunch of flowers can show warmth and convey a message of love. Flowers can be used in many occasions, like at parties and at festivals.

The choice of flowers for different occasions changes. It depends on the thoughts or feelings you want to show. Sunflowers are often used on Father's Day, while some females' flowers such as white or red carnations are often given on Mother's Day.

The languages of the flowers convey much more than the spoken language does. Flowers are perfect gifts for all occasions. They carry love, cheer and warm feelings. So it's important to choose right flowers on right occasions. Keep the following rules in mind, please.

●Choosing flowers' colours which are suitable for the occasions.

●Knowing about what your friends or family like most can make our choice easy.

●Giving flowers properly, which is the key to conveying your message. For example, giving roses to girls is better than giving sunflowers to them.

●The bunch of flowers should be full of colours.
