1 . Many people (人们) like to travel (旅行) by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport (飞机场) is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for (等待) hours for the plane to take off (起飞) and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose (选择) the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late (晚的) for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey (旅行) when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

2 . In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny,the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.
In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.
When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (伞) or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them.
If you don’t take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day.

3 . Do you like snow? Many people in the world never see snow. In the north of England, there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the south of England there is usually little snow. When a student from a warm country comes to England in autumn for the first time, he feels cold. There are always dark clouds, gray skies and cold rain in England in autumn.
Snow is different. It is very cold, but it is very beautiful. Perhaps, after several dark mornings, the student wakes up (醒来) one day and there is a lot of light (光) in his room. He thinks, “Is it so late?” and gets up quickly. But it is not late at all. He looks out of the window and there is snow on the ground, in the trees, on the roofs (屋顶) and so on. The light in his room comes from the clean and beautiful snow.
