1 . Many people like to travel during their vacations(假期). Some people travel in tour groups because they think it is safe and cheap. A tour guide takes care of the group and makes sure the group can see a lot of interesting and beautiful sights. Other people like traveling alone or with friends. If you travel by yourself, you are free to see what you want to see.
People travel for many reasons. Some people travel to learn more about other countries’ people, culture, food and languages. Some people travel for adventure(冒险). They want to do some different things, such as skiing, bungee jumping(蹦极跳) and mountain climbing. Other people like to shop when they travel. They look for new things or cheap ones.
There are different ways to travel. Some people take trains, boats or buses, some fly, and others drive cars. Some people like to travel slowly and spend a long time in each place, while others like to take quick tours and visit more places in a short time.

2 . 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.

Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.

3 . When I was in Chengdu, I saw teahouses on the streets. There is a saying: China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.
The service in the teahouses is really friendly. When you go into a teahouse, the waiters or waitress greet you with smiles on their faces and with teapots and cups in their hands. After you sit down, they set the cups on the table and pour the tea into the cups.
People who go to teahouses are not really thirsty. They pay 20 yuan to go to a teahouse and will sit there all day long to talk with each other. These days, more and more people go to teahouses for business talks. Some teahouses also have performances, such as story-telling and Sichuan Opera.

4 . Hello, everyone. I’m an International tour guide. My work allows me to live in different countries. Reading books helps me to connect with my friends, family and my home country, the UK. Here are some of my favourite books.
Daddy Long Legs
This book is about the story of a young girl, who goes to university and gets lots of new experiences. This book always makes me think of my mother because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.
Harry Potter
I’m sure many of you know Harry Potter books! I have read them many times since primary school. I really get lost in the stories. These days I’m reading them again in Germany.
The Railway Children
This is one of my favourite books. It was a gift for my 13th birthday from my best friend, so it still strongly makes me think of my childhood. It is about three children and their adventures next to a railway.

It’s reported that the company has raised $25 million to produce it. As it is still being tested(测试), Hover Camera can be bought later this year.
The price has not yet been decided. But a spokesman says the company hopes to sell it for less than $600.

6 . Maybe you are an average (一般的，普通的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student.
However, anyone can become a better student if he or she does his or her best.
Here is my advice:
★Plan your time carefully. You should plan your time for such things as eating, sleeping and dressing. Then make a good regular time for studying. But don’t forget to set enough time for tests.
★Keep your study quiet and clean. The study should have a desk, a chair and some study materials, but no games, no radio and no television! When you sit down to study, you can put your heart into it. Make good use of your time.
★Listen to everything that the teacher says. Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
★Develop a good attitude (态度) to test. The purpose (目的) of a test is to show what you have learnt about a subject. It helps you know what you are not good at. The world will still go on even if you fail in a test, so don’t be too worried.

9 . Animals
Corona viruses are common in animals. Sometimes, animals get infected (感染的) with these viruses which may then spread to human beings. To protect yourself, you should not visit live animal markets or have direct contact with wild animals. Stay away from raw meat, animal organs and other undercooked animal products.
When an infectious pet was found in Hong Kong, some may wonder if one can get virus from their pets. Until today, there is no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit (传播) COVID-19. Please do not kill or give up pets!
Touching surface with virus
Studies suggest that COVID-19 virus may stay on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. However, the number may change under different conditions such as type of surface, temperature or the environment.
If you think a surface may be infected, clean it with ethyl alcohol (酒精). After touching it, clean your hands with alcohol or wash them with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose.
Package (包裹)
Before delivering to your home, a package has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature. Therefore, the possibility of being infectious because of your package from COVID-19-reported areas is rather low. There is no need to send your package back.
Smoking
An article posted on Wechat recently says that cigarette can protect smokers from COVID-19 and thus make cigarettes sell very well. It is an online rumor (谣言)! As has been known, smoking harms people’s health. It weakens the immune system and worsens diabetes and blood pressure. No smoking is still a must!
Transportation
According to Feng Luzhao, an expert from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the major routes of transmission are still through respiratory droplets and direct contact. In order to protect yourself in underground station, wearing a mask and keeping your hands clean are good ways. People are also encouraged to use a personal transportation card or pay for the ticket via an app. After taking public transportation, washing hands is necessary.
