Jack is     1     American. Jack is     2     (spend) his holiday in Beijing with his parents now. Beijing is a beautiful city with many places of interest,     3     as the Summer Palace, the Beijing Park and so on. It is one of the most important     4     (city) in the world. In the daytime, they visit some beautiful parks and places. And they enjoy some delicious food. Jack likes Beijing Roast Duck very much. They are having a good time.

It is the end of summer now, and the weather in Beijing is very cool. It’s     5     (sun), but it is not hot, so people can enjoy     6     (them) in the sun and do many outdoor     7     (activity). But today it’s rainy. He’s not happy     8     he can’t go out. They are in the hotel. They are looking out of the window. It’s raining hard. They can see many people     9     (run) in the street. He thinks maybe it is     10     (interest) to stay in the rain. Jack hopes the weather will be fine soon.

Hawaii has always been a magic name to people who like traveling. People from all over the world dream of       1     (see) the beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. It’s always one of their dreams to watch the sun going down. The sun     2     (drop) like a ball of bright fire into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can even see it move.

About two thousand years ago, the first people     3     (go) to Hawaii in a very small boat. They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees. But it was difficult for people to go to Hawaii at that time. And there were no big hotels like the ones today.

Now people can get to Hawaii in different ways. More and more people go to Hawaii. Lots of nice big hotels     4     (build) last year. However, the beauty of Hawaii     5     (not change) much yet. The white sand beaches and the waving palm trees are still there. People often have a peaceful time, taking a walk along the water in the morning. At night, they     6     (get) together to hold parties, chatting and dancing. So if you     7     (think) about relaxing yourself now, Hawaii is surely the first place for you to choose.

3 . Last summer I spent two weeks in Singapore     1     my mother and my sister. Before this trip, I had heard that Singapore is one of the most beautiful and     2     (clean) countries in Asia. I hoped that I would have     3     unforgettable time there. In fact, the trip was greater than I had expected.

Many places in Singapore attracted us. First, we visited Singapore Zoo and Jurong Bird Park.     4     of the places are very large and many animals live there. So we had to spend a whole day     5     (watch) all of the animals. However, the most interesting event was the Bird Show in Jurong Bird Park. We     6     (enjoy) the performances of the birds. The workers had trained the birds     7     (careful)for a long time so that they could dance, sing and even play basketball.

Second, after spending a week in relaxing and visiting some tourist spots in Singapore, my sister and I decided     8     (join) a short-term English course. all students there had to speak English during the lessons     9     English was the only common language in this class. In that way, we would improve our English quickly.

The trip in Singapore was a nice experience in my life. During the trip, I learned much about another     10     (country) lives, other people' s thoughts and I improved my English. Besides, I have made some new friends who I am still keeping in touch with and I hope that I will meet them again someday in China and tell them more about our country.

4 . When people travel abroad（国外）, they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay（家庭寄宿）.

I am l    1     with an old English couple（夫妇）, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden w    2     many beautiful flowers. They often cook meals for me. We have dinner t    3     in the garden. I also have a bedroom of my o    4    . There are some shopping centers and a r    5     near the house, and the house is c    6     to an underground（地铁）station. It t    7     about 30 minutes to get to the center of London by underground.

I think a homestay may be a good choice（选择）for you if it is your f    8     time to visit abroad.

The local people are friendly and h    9    . If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to（有机会）k    10     more about their culture（文化）and customs（习俗）.

For your next vacation, why not consider v    1     Paris ? Paris is the capital of France and is one of the liveliest cities in Europe. It doesn’t have any beaches or mountains, but there are still many things to do there. For example, it has some fantastic sights, i    2     the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous c    3     in the world.

T    4     around Paris by taxi can cost a lot of money, but it’s usually convenient to take the underground train to most places. In general, France is quite an expensive place. One thing that is not expensive in France, however, is the wine!

Most people in France have l    5     English. But many people don’t like to speak English, especially in Paris. So unless you speak French yourself, it’s best to travel with someone who can translate things for you.

We have been in Australia for three years. We’re having     1    (冠词) good time here. Australia is the sixth     2    (large) country in the world. There is so much to see that it is     3    (possible) for me to tell you everything. Sydney is a beautiful city. There are many big trees and beautiful flowers around the houses and they look     4     (real) beautiful. There are also some special animals in Australia, such as kangaroos and koalas. They are so interesting.

During the past three days, we’ve visited many     5    (place) of interest around Sydney. I’d like to spend more time here.     6     (连词) we will fly to another city, Cairns, to see coral beds(珊瑚礁) tomorrow. It is said that words cannot describe the beauty of the colourful corals. Many famous cartoon films were made there. So the city is famous     7     (介词) films. Now we are busy packing our bags so that we will not     8    (lose) time when we leave. We can enjoy     9    (we) in Cairns this time tomorrow. I’m looking forward to     10    (go) there!

When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east—the sky was     1     (become) grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.

After about a mile, a     2     (strange) appeared beside the path. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.”     3     (final), I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over     4     (they), but it was     5     (silence) and there was no sign of it.

Suddenly, the rain     6     (stop) and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me     7    （连词）shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of     8    （冠词） wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon.

I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two     9     (tall) buildings in the world on top of each other     10    （介词）the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!

Amy Lyons is an Australian. She has tasted hundreds     1     Chinese dishes in over 60 cities and made vlogs（博客） to share her love of China in the past eight years.

“China is a country with over five thousand     2     (years) history. I’m interested in Chinese food, history     3     culture,” said Amy. Her dream is to make great videos about China and let more people know a different China.

Amy’s     4     (one) trip to China was in 2014. She was     5     exchange student（交换生） in Shanghai then. “People were so     6     (friend) in China,” said Amy. After     7     (return) to Australia, she missed the country very much. So she came back to China     8     (study) Chinese at Tsinghua University in 2017.

Amy not only enjoyed Chinese food, but also enjoyed     9     (travel) around China. She has been to Gansu Province. She has been to Sichuan Province. And she has seen many beautiful places in China.

However, she had to come back to Australia to be with her family because of COVID-19. “    10     (lucky), here in Sydney, we also have lots of wonderful Chinese restaurants.” said Amy.

Amy said she would come back to China when it is OK to travel and her next stop would be Changchun in Northeast China.
