Lonely Planet, the world-famous travel guide (旅游指南), suggests interesting places for people to visit every year. For its "2018 Best in Asia" list, they picked only one place in China Sichuan.
What makes Sichuan so special? As Lonely Planet puts it, you can have a true taste (体验)of everything China has to offer in Sichuan.
In Sichuan, you see art like bianlian, a kind of ancient opera (古典戏剧). Performers change their masks (面具) very fast --- so fast that it looks like magic (魔术).
There is great food in Sichuan, too. It is famous for the use of Sichuan peppers (花椒) and hot chilis. In fact, Chengdu, Sichuan’s capital city, has more restaurants than any other city in the world --- around 40,000!
Sichuan also has lots of beautiful natural scenery (自然风景). In Jiuzhaigou Valley National Park, you see colorful lakes, thick forests (稠密的森林) and spectacular waterfalls (壮观的瀑布).
Finally, Sichuan is home to one of the world’s cutest animals. More than 30 percent of the world’s giant pandas live there.

【推荐3】Living in a city has both advantages(优点）and disadvantages. It is often easier to find work. If you go out, you can choose different vehicles（交通工具）. Besides, there are a lot of places of interest to see. You can eat in good restaurants, visit museums, go to parks and watch films when you want to relax. However, living in a city is often very expensive. You must find a well-paid job, otherwise you will not have enough money to spend on the things you need. What’s more, the city is always crowded, noisy and dirty. It has become harder to find a good place where people can enjoy peace and fresh air as in the countryside.

【推荐1】Recently, the AI chatbot (聊天机器人) ChatGPT has become a hot topic. Many people are deeply attracted by the robot. However, when it comes to education, some people hold different opinions about whether ChatGPT is offering help or making things worse.
 In my opinion, ChatGPT has helped me in many ways, from giving cooking tips to writing emails, but I’ve never tried to use it in my education. It can provide lots of information for us, but we sometimes are not sure whether the information is correct. Also, depending on it to do our homework will just make us stop thinking. |
 Whether ChatGPT is good or bad for education, I think it all depends on how students use it. If students use it to help them better understand certain topics that teachers may not explain clearly in class, I think it can really help their learning. However, if ChatGPT is simply used for homework or cheating on exams, I think it will do no good. So, it is important to guide students to use Chat GPT in the proper way. |
 I think Chat GPT is terrible for education. This is because it’s powerful to allow lazy and hardworking people to achieve the same level of excellence with the same level of education. This makes students who should work hard become lazy. |
