My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister and I     1     (dream) about     2     (take) a great bike trip. When we graduated     3     college, we finally got the chance to do it. It was     4     (I) sister who first had the idea to cycle along the Mekong River from where it begins to     5     it ends. The Dai live near the Lancang River,     6     Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other     7     (country). Wang Wei soon got them     8     (interest) in cycling too. She insisted that we should find the source of the river. She gave me a determined look. Once she has made     9     her mind, nothing can change it.     10     (final), I had to give in.

There is so much to learn about the interesting history and culture of the United Kingdom.     1     (study) the history of the country will make your visit much more enjoyable. The capital city London is a great place to start, as it is an ancient port city     2     has a history dating all the way back to Roman times. There are countless historic sites to explore, and lots of museums with ancient relics from all over the UK. The UK is a     3     (fascinate) mix of history and modern culture, with both new and old traditions. If you keep your eyes open, you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present.

It was my first day in Hangzhou, the Chinese city famous for its natural beauty and history. I didn’t have much time to spare, so I wanted to see     1     much of the city as possible in the two days before I was to return to Guangzhou. My first task was to decide where to go and     2     to get there. So I took out my guide book in which there was a lot of information about the city’s well-known tourist     3     (attract) as well as all the bus routes and started to read. At that moment an attractive young lady     4     noticed my book came up to me and introduced     5    . She said her name was Miss Bai and she     6     (kind) offered to show me     7     the city. She suggested we     8     (go) to the West Lake and walk along the Broken Bridge.     9     (think) that was definitely     10     attractive idea, I accepted her invitation and walked away with her.

My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong    1     August 15, 2015. He had dreamed about     2    (visit) it since his boyhood and it was the first time that he    3    (be) there. The following was what he had seen.

Arriving there, he was     4    (surprise) by its beautiful scenery and tall     5    (building). As we all know, Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he     6    (go), he saw many smiling faces. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easy-going and ready to help others. Much to his surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places.     7    a great number of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such     8     low voice as not to bother others.

Chinese and English are the official languages of Hong Kong. English is     9    (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

Staying there for a week was a good experience for him,     10     he would never forget.
