Last Sunday, my friends and I had a nice trip to Hangzhou. We     1     (go) to the mountain. We got together at 7:30 a. m. at my home. T    2     we took a bus there. There was     3     lake near the mountain. The water was very clear and we could see some fish     4     (swim) in it. Mike tried to catch the fish     5     he couldn’t. We also saw many beautiful flowers near the lake. And we did many     6     (interest) activities there and took many nice photos. At noon, we went to a restaurant for lunch nearby. There     7     (be) lots of great specials in it. They are     8     (real) great. After two hours, we got to the top of the mountain. We could see the whole city, and     9     looked very beautiful. We all     10     (have) a good time there.

【推荐2】When I was a college student, a professor encouraged me to travel. She said, “Now is the time for you to travel round the world, build up your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I agreed and I did a lot of traveling a    1    .

Since I started to work for a food company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the beautiful s    2     of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business trips, too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got information about food in different countries.

I was beginning to feel that actual trips were even more n    3     when I happened to read a famous chef’s comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the atmosphere around us at the same time. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian dishes?” Those words reminded me of my professor’s advice. As information technology develops, you might be able to do without making real trips. But this also means that you will miss the real p    4     you can get from traveling.

Today there are people who don’t like direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. We are not s    5     to see a group of people talking not with each other but into their mobile phones. It seems as if such people were surrounded by an invisible（看不见的）wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to m    6     and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily communication more fruitful. However, we should never let it r    7     our time for face-to-face communication. Let’s make use of information technology more wisely, and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.

I am really     1     (excite) to hear that you will come to Brazil (巴西) to spend your vacation. Let me tell you something about my hometown Rio de Janeiro     2     (one). It is     3     big and nice city. If you travel to Rio de Janeiro, you can see the biggest park in Brazil, the biggest library     4     South America and the biggest football stadium (体育场) in the world. If you     5     (be) a football fan, Rio de Janeiro is the best place to visit. You can see many famous     6     (star) playing here.

If you come to Brazil in February, I will take you to join in the carnival (狂欢节). That will make you relaxed     7     happy. It is the biggest carnival in Brazil and it usually     8     (last) for three days. During the festival, you can see a lot of people wearing colorful clothes and     9     (dance) in the street. You can also join     10     (they). It’s great fun.

I hope to see you soon.
