I took a trip to China a few months ago. It was a wonderful experience where is beyond description. We spent three weeks visit Beijing, Shanghai and several other tourist attraction. The closer we approached the center of China, the much I liked it. Then we went to Hong Kong last week, which I think is different with Beijing. It is noisiest place I have ever seen. And another thing that give me a deep impression was the people in China — they were so much friendly. Anyway, the trip itself was interested. I can’t wait to flying to China again.

However,     3    impressed me most is the International Spy Museum, which I visited on the     4    (three) day of the trip.

In my spare time, I often watched movies about spies with my parents because I was    5     (extreme) interested in spies. I acquired    6    good knowledge of that after I read the descriptions in the museum.

When they thought they were probably found out, they could have their appearances    8    (change) in a few minutes. They put on fake hair, eyes or teeth. If they had an emergency, they even changed a smaller pair of shoes to change their walking styles in order not to    9    (recognize).

    10    conclusion, it was a nice trip. I had a good time in Washington D.C.. I will remember this trip forever.
