The poem “Auld Lang Syne”     1     (write) by the great Scottish poet Robert Burns. After     2     (listen) to “an old man’s singing”, Burns wrote down the words and     3     (add) a few lines of his own. The poem was printed in 1796, just after Burns’     4     (die). It was given a new tone, and over the years became the song     5     is so familiar to us today.

Joyful but at     6     same time a bit sad, Auld Lang Syne has featured in many films, including Waterloo Bridge, the film which made the song     7     (wide) known to Chinese audience.

Today, Auld Lang Syne has been translated     8     many different languages, and one of the world’s best-loved songs.

Traditionally, live-streamers (主播) sell delicious snacks or local goodies.    1     a recent live-stream event in Tibet autonomous region did something different. Waste plastic bottles, often     2     (regard) as a great damage to the local environment, were sold for 0.5 yuan each, with the    3     (intend) of raising people’s awareness of Tibet’s pollution issue.

In 2019, about 40 million    4    (tourist) visited Tibet, which in consequence left   about 360 million plastic bottles abandoned in branches, on cliffs and in rivers. The white pollution is     5     serious threat to the local ecosystem and the local animals, such as   yaks.

Over the past few years, more than 5,000 volunteers    6     (participate) in the   anti-white pollution campaign. They carry out over 2,000 clean-ups to collect 200, 000 bottles left by tourists each year. Then the bottles were sorted by color and shipped inland to make raw materials.    7     (rough), each bottle costs about 0.5 yuan.

With the Internet entering our daily life more and more, online shopping is commonly used throughout the world nowadays. Internet shopping     1     (offer) a number of benefits to the shoppers especially over the past decade.     2     most important of all is convenience. You can shop     3     you like as the online shops are open 24 hours a day and you do not have to queue with other     4     (shop). Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking     5     online. However, every coin has two sides,     6     does Internet shopping.

The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is     7     you cannot actually see the     8     (produce) you are buying or check their quality. Some people are also worried about paying for goods     9     (use) credit cards or the mobile pay.

As far as I am concerned, Internet shopping has advantages     10     disadvantages. It is very convenient and user-friendly and online shopping is much cheaper and more secured than before.
