【推荐2】It can be a struggle to find activities on holiday that children will enjoy, but in Wales there are plenty of options. These four family favourites are surefire ways to keep the kids entertained…
Caernarfon Castle
This magnificent fortress was built on the Welsh coastline in the 13th century. Caernarfon Castle is a historic paradise for children, alive with towers to climb, city walls to march along, and (with imagination)princes and princesses to rescue.
Rhossili Bay
The most splendid of the Gower Peninsula beaches—all three broad miles of it—conceals a mysterious secret. At high tide, the remains of the Helvetia, a wooden ship which ran aground in 1887, show itself.
Talyllyn Railway
Wales still echoes to the sound of steam trains of yesteryear, and the Talyllyn Railway, near Cardigan Bay at Tywyn, is perhaps the prettiest. It rises for seven miles along a narrow track. You will surely see “guest appearances” by engines from the world of Thomas the Tank Engine.
The National Eisteddfod
There is always a buzz when the National Eisteddfod—a great coming-together, which spins around music, poetry and food—clicks into operation. This year it will take place right by the sea at Cardiff Bay, offering hundreds of free activities and events for the whole family.

【推荐3】Four Underwater Cities You Must Visit
Dwarka-India
Dwarka is located 70 feet under the sea near the inhabited island of Bet Dwarka. It was built sometime between 9, 000 and 12, 000 years ago and those fortunate enough to visit can witness a diverse variety of buildings in addition to a seaport and protective walls made of sandstone. Furthermore, large stone anchors indicate that overseas trade took place in Dwarka during the Age of Antiquity all the way through medieval times.
Pavlopetri-Greece
Pavlopetri was founded around 5, 000 years ago, making it one of the oldest underwater lost cities in the world. Since it was rediscovered in 1967, archeologists and tourists alike have been fascinated by the well-preserved handicrafts. What makes Pavlopetri stick out is that it has a nearly-complete town plan, including at least 15 buildings. There is also evidence that it was once a major producer of textiles, with some of the equipment still complete!
Antirhodos-Egypt
This ancient underwater island was rediscovered in 1996 near the Alexandria harbor. In addition to being the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Ancient Wonders of the World that had been presumed(推测)lost forever, explorers can find a marble-floored 3rd century B. C. palace. The best thing is that the island is only a few meters under the water, which makes it easy to explore even for new divers!
Atlit-Yam-Israel
This underwater site was discovered in 1984 off the coast of Atlit near Haifa, and is estimated to have been settled between 6, 900 and 6, 300 B. C. This location offers the clearest evidence of where humans made the transition(过渡)from hunter-gatherers to settled farmers. Dive insurance is required, so make sure you are covered when you plan your trip.

【推荐1】The Best Caves in The World
Hang Son Doong, Vietnam
Natural caves don’t come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam. This cave possesses the largest cross-section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to describe. Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn’t really do justice to the vastness of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites (钟乳石) here are pretty massive too, with some reaching up to 80 metres.
Waitomo Caves, New Zealand
Glowworms (萤火虫) are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system on New Zealand’s North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-particularly-creative but completely acceptable “Glowworm Caves” nickname. They are more accessible than other caves on this list, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more thrilling.
Mammoth Cave, the USA
If you have certain expectations from somewhere called “Mammoth Cave”, that is entirely understandable. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world’s longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground wonder. That’s twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn’t unusual for the USA to go all out on such things.
Reed Flute (芦笛) Cave, China
Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave’s walls are covered with inscriptions from centuries gone by—if evidence was needed that people have been paying attention to this place for a long old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving it a real otherworldly theme that adds weight to the nickname.
1. What is special about Hang Son Doong?A.It was once a base of a factory. |

【推荐2】After finishing my teaching for a school year, I thought that I should go back to Montreal, Quebec, my hometown for a visit. My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.
Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who were struggling to succeed and then led a better life in Canada.
Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while they switched between English and French.
Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They missed their families and friends. Though Montreal had lots of Chinese restaurants, they longed for a home-cooked meal.
I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn’t regret taking the trip.
Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal.
I was served by another Chinese person who could not handle the challenges of studying in an English environment and ended up working in a restaurant with minimum pay.
Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an amazing experience. However, one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to set up a new life in a foreign country. One should take the time to examine the advantages and the shortcomings of the venture before they decide to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.

C.go on with his teaching | D.study a new language |
