After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation six months     3     (early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We     4     (tell) that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week, but for the week after. I didn’t understand     5     this would happen and I had already paid     6     the reservation. What’s worse, the hotel had been     7     (full) booked. When we made great efforts to explain everything, the manager came out. She was     8     (surprise) helpful. She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on the top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren’t charged extra.

The next day, my brother and I went to the beach     9     we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little     10     (sunburn), but the day had been so relaxing that we didn’t mind.

Bringing a new life into the world comes with many duties (责任) and I’d love to be a good mother. One of my duties is to teach my children. I’m thankful that my parents took me on family trips when I was young. I’ve learned that the outside world is more     9     (colour) than the little one I was living in. Of course, I hope I     10     (pass) these travel experiences on to my children.
