2 . Walden is a quiet small town in England. Cars c    1     go into the center of the town, so it is very pleasant to walk around.

Spend at least half a day v    2     the museum. It’s on a hill outside the town in a lonely old building. The museum brings history to life. You can even ride on a horse and cart（马车）in the street. I was r    3     interested in a 1950s living room in the museum. It was just l    4     my grandmother’s house. I lived there when I was a c    5    .

If you can’t wait, there is a new exhibition（展览）opening soon. Walden is f    6     for one thing—candy! If you like candy, this exhibition is the place for you. You can learn about its history. I n    7     see so many different kinds of candy.

But I won’t go now b    8     it will start on the 26th of May.

When you are there, have a look around Walden too. If you start in the main square and follow the preen signs, they will t    9     you to the museum, and you will see lots of other interesting things o    10     the way too.

Sakchai lives in Bangkok, which is the c    1     of Thailand. It’s a big c    2     with lots of new buildings as well as old temples.

Sakchai works in a car repair shop. He doesn’t m    3     a lot of money but he e    4     his life. The streets in Bangkok are usually full of traffic, so Sakchai comes to work on the Sky Train. It’s much faster than a car or a bus.

Sakchai lives with his parents and sister in a new f    5    , quite a long way from the city c    6    .

He s    7     his money on clothes and music. Bangkok is warm all year round, so he doesn’t need thick clothes.

When he has a holiday, he goes to the beach with his friends Thailand has long golden b    8     with palm trees along them. The sea is b    9     and warm. There are beautiful views over the sea. Tourists from all over the world like to v    10     Thailand’s beaches. It’s a good place for a holiday.

7 . New York, London, Paris and other big cities are exciting places to l    1     in. There are many i    2     things to see and to do. You can go to different k    3     of museums and see plays and films. You can also go to s    4     to buy things from all o    5     the world.

But there are many problems in big c    6    , too. There are to many people move to cities to find jobs, and to study at good schools. But sometimes these people can’t f    7     work or a good place to live i    8    . Also, too many people in a small place make it hard to keep the cities safe and clean. So before people have to move t    9     big cities, they should think a    10     the problems of living there.

Guangzhou is the capital city of Guangdong Province in the southern part of China. There are many places of interest.

Beijing Road is one of them. It was once called the centre of Guangzhou. It is a wonderful shopping p    1     in Guangzhou, just like Nanjing Road in Shanghai. You have the chance to b    2     a lot of things, such as different kinds of clothes and some special snacks. There are also a lot of restaurants on Beijing Road, such as Tao Tao Ju Restaurant and Jubao Restaurant.

The night view of Beijing Road is very nice. You can see the b    3     lights along the street. And people like to take a walk in Renmin Park after supper.

During some big festivals and holidays, Beijing Road is usually ready to w    4     the guests at home and abroad for celebrating. You can e    5     the flower market and other celebrations there during the Chinese New Year.

Today, we are going to compare (比较) the weather in China and London. In China, the weather in different p    1     is different. In Heilongjiang, the weather is always very cold in winter and hot in s    2    . In winter, it s    3     heavily. On snowy days, children enjoy m    4     a snowman. But in the same season in Hainan island, the weather is often s    5    . It’s not cold at all in winter. Kunming is a spring city. It’s w    6     all the time.

In London, the weather changes very q    7    . You can see a sunny day in the morning, and then a rainy or a cloudy day one or two h    8     later. People often talk about the weather in London. They often talk to you, “If you don’t like the weather, it doesn’t matter. You can just wait! It may change s    9    .”

In the past, people couldn’t do a    10     about weather, but now people can do many things about the weather. It’s called man-made (人造的) weather. We hope one day we can decide the weather.
