Do you like travelling? Why not come to Singapore? Walking through the streets of Singapore, you can hear different languages spoken, s    1     as English, Chinese and Malay (马来语). English is used for business, although the official language (官方语言) here is Malay. If you want to feel relaxed, you can simply s    2       Putonghua a lot of the time. But in my o    3     , it’s a good place to practice your English. Let’s be brave enough to open our mouth. Maybe you will get a big surprise. We should believe in o    4    .

Have you e    5       tried Chinese food outside of China? Singapore is a place you can find a lot of food from China. Singapore is also a good place to try new food. W    6     you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food, you’ll find it all in Singapore. If you are interested in delicious food, come to Singapore.

Besides, Singapore has a special z    7       called Night Safari. You can go to see animals at night. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark. H    8    , if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the daytime, they will probably be asleep! A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the b    9       time to watch them. The animals are in a more natural environment at Night Safari.

People from different cultures live and work peacefully with each other and share their traditions (传统). Large number of people, ideas, are mixed together under the same sky. Now, however, there is a strong Chinese business community and also a growing Indian business community. Singapore welcomes talented people from around the world and hope they will have a good time here.

I am sure Singapore is a good place you will n    10     forget!
