Dinosaur Isle
It is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southeast coast. It’s a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilization of dinosaurs that lived 120 million years ago.
Robin Hill Country Park
The park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children’s parties and games. It has five new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.
The West of the Wight
Here we have the Marine Aquarium, the Archaeology Exhibition and the Model Railway. They offer another opportunity to combine fun with learning. This is a great place to see ancient boats crossing the narrow strait between the island and the mainland.
The Wight Bus Museum
This museum is run completely by unpaid volunteers. It has a bus collection stored in what was once a warehouse(仓库). Most of the buses in the museum date back to around the 1910’s.
With all of these choices, what are you waiting for? IOW Tourism welcomes you!

【推荐3】We all love our children and we all know how competitive the world is these days. What’s it going to be like when our children leave school? Will they have the skills they need to stay ahead of the competition?
All children need two basic skills to succeed. They must be able to read and they must be able to write. And with so much information available to them these days, they must be able to read quickly and accurately. That’s why your children need to be able to speed-read.
It’s ironic (讽刺的) that at this time of space-age technology, we’ve gone back to one of the earliest forms of mass communication—the written word. The Internet has introduced a revival (重新流行) of writing, and if you can’t keep up, you’ll be left behind. You certainly don’t want your children to be left behind.
You can help to make sure that your children are excellent writers—you can help them to learn how to use their language. Better still, you can learn with them!
You and your children can spend time together in a worthwhile pursuit (事业)—learning how to write. Forget the theme parks, the computer games, the expensive movies and interesting sports. If you want your children to have treasured memories of time spent with you, learn together.
For less than you would pay for tickets to a theme park, you can invest in your children’s future—help them learn to write well with my six-part writing course.
Don’t stand by while your child is left further and further behind.

【推荐2】Eight films are named for Best Picture at the 2021 Oscars. Here are my favorites.
The Father
The Father is the best writing I've seen this year. It reminds me of a diamond, through which light reflects in unpredictable directions. It is a movie about a man named Anthony (played by Anthony Hopkins) who becomes confused and unhappy when he needs to move into his daughter Anne s flat because his health is getting worse. Anne played by Olivia Colman) can't bear the thought of putting her father in a nursing home.
Minari
Minari is the story of Korean immigrants Jacob (played by Steven Yeun) and Monica( played by Yeri Han), who move their two small children from California to Arkansas in the 1980s, to realize Jacob's dream of farming. Minari is both a family drama seen through the eyes of a Korean American boy and a moving tale of love and loss in the American heartland.
Sound of Metal
Sound of Metal is a moving, and sometimes heartbreaking drama. I love its sound design in particular. In the drama, Riz Ahmed plays Ruben, a hard rock drummer who tours with his girlfriend Lou (played by Olivia Cooke), a singer. Both are former addicts, and both have stopped drinking for years. But then Ruben's hearing starts to disappear and ends up living at a center for deaf adults who are adjusting to life without hearing.
Mank
Mank leads the Oscar nominees (被提名作品) , with 10 nods in all. It is the tale of Herman Mankiewicz (played by Gary Oldman), the man who co-wrote Citizen Kame, which is still widely considered one of the greatest movies of all time.

【推荐3】The MetroCard New York, a thin plastic rechargeable card, is a good option if you are planning to take a tour of New York and are looking for a simple and inexpensive way to get around!
Which to choose?
Depending on your preferences, you can choose among the following types of cards:
The pay-per-use card: Pay-per-ride MetroCard
A metro journey costs $ 3 (single fare), but with a Pay-per-ride MetroCard you will only pay $2. 75. Your card will be charged for each journey you make.
Note that a card can be used by up to 4 people-i. e. if you only have one card in your group of 4 people, you can access the subway or bus by swiping(刷卡) it 4 times. However, if there are 5 of you, you will need a second card: the Pay-per-ride MetroCard can only be swiped 4 times in a row.
The unlimited use payment card: Unlimited Ride MetroCard
The 7-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid(有效的) for 7 straight days. It costs $33. If you use public transport often during your stay, it will quickly become profitable! That’s why it’s the most commonly used card for tourists.
The 30-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid for 30 days. It costs $127. You have unlimited swipes on the subway and buses for 30 days, and you can’t pause it once started.
The One-year MetroCard is valid for a whole year, so it is of no interest to tourists.
How to use?
You have to swipe your MetroCard through the reader and then wait for the display to say “GO”. Unfortunately, this isn’t as easy as it sounds at times. As with many other Metro passes, it can be kind of tricky at first, but if you can’t get it working, you are not alone. Just watch other people and do what they do.
