People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual（个体的）;they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long ,you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，I wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm． I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad． My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．
1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this is the proudest moment of my life．’’
It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．
