So my job was wearing a gorilla suit sitting in the cage for 4 hours at a time. It sounded good to me, so I told him I would.

The next day I went to the zoo, put on the gorilla suit and climbed into the cage. Soon some children walked to see me. I held the rope and swang (摇摆) across the cage. The children seemed to be very happy to see it.

In the next cage there was a lion and he was becoming angry at my actions and began to shake his cage. Suddenly I dropped right into the lion’s cage! I was afraid and shouted, “Help me, help me! I’m not who you think I am!”

However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It's quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners，”a Beijinger said.

Dear Kathy,

Welcome to Heze. I’m so glad that I can tell you something about Heze. Heze lies in the southeast of Shandong Province. As far as we know, it’s famous for peony, the national flower of China. Xuanle Park, the biggest amusement park in our city, lies in the north of Heze. You’ll find that there are Water World, big ferris wheel (摩天轮）, haunted house and so on.(3) They are all interesting, but I think the roller coaster (过山车) makes people scared and excited.

The flowers in Caozhou Peony Park are the most fascinating. Unluckily, it’s not the right season. But there will be an animal show during National Day. It is convenient for you to get to Tianxiang Park. You can go there by bus at any time the park is free. Besides, I heard that there would be an interesting talent show at Inzone Supermarket the next week. I wonder if you’d like to go there. (4) 我想知道你想先去哪儿。

I am sure that you will have a great time in Heze.

Yours,

Lin Jing
