On our way to the house, it was raining    1    hard that we couldn’t help wondering how long it would take    2    (get) there. It was in the middle of Pearl City.

We were first greeted with the barking by a group    3    dogs, seven to be exact. They were well trained by their masters    4    had great experience with caring for these animals. Our hosts shared many of their experiences and    5    (suggest) wonderful places to eat, shop, and visit. For breakfast, we were able to eat papaya (木瓜) and other fruits from their trees in the backyard.

When they were free from work, they invited us to local    6    (event) and let us know of an interesting competition to watch, together with the story behind it. They also shared with us many    7    (tradition) stories about Hawaii that were    8    (huge) popular with tourists. On the last day of our week-long stay, we    9    (invite) to attend a private concert on a beautiful farm on the North Shore under the stars,    10     (listen) to musicians and meeting interesting locals.

China has managed     1    (promote) “red tourism”. It focuses on visiting sites (景点) with the significance of revolutionary history. The government will open more revolutionary museums to the public     2     more cultural products of revolutionary relics (革命文物) will be developed.

Meanwhile, the red tourism sites     3    (encourage)to increase cooperation with     4    (surround) schools. In this way, they will attract more students and Party     5    (member) to learn about the country’s revolutionary history. So far, there     6    (be) 33,315 revolutionary sites and relics in China. More than 800 million red tourism trips are made on average every year.

In recent years, red tourism has gained great popularity in China. In     7     city of Jinggangshan in East China’s Jiangxi Province, tourists can wear Red Army uniforms and visit places     8     revolutionary figures once lived and worked.

Red tourism is not only about the joy of     9    (visit) a new place. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being reminded     10     the stories of the people who contributed to the foundation of the people’s Republic in 1949. By visiting such places, people will better appreciate the country’s system and Chinese culture.

Ocean Park Hong Kong is one of Hong Kong’s greatest tourist     1     (attraction). Because it isn’t run for profit, the park is much more     2    (suit) for education and wildlife conservation research. Compared with other theme parks, it takes better care of the animals. In addition，you will find prices there fairly reasonable considering the size and the quality. Therefore, since its opening, the park     3    (draw) a large number of visitors.

    4     (locate) on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, the theme park is     5     (convenient) close to downtown. As the park attracts large crowds every day, try to be there before the park opens at 10 in the morning and avoid the busy holidays and weekends. It is also recommended that tickets    6     (buy) online in advance.

Hong Kong is a unique city in     7     you can buy one card to pay for public transport and all your purchases in the world. The card is available at the ticket windows of any subway station in Hong Kong, with which then you can pay     8     things in the park. And you can add money as you wish and have     9     returned to a station window for the remaining money back.

Wish you     10     enjoyable day in Hong Kong’s most popular theme park.

How time flies! It is six months since I came to London, an    1    (impress) city. I must apologize to you for not writing more    2    (regular). I’m glad you’ll come to London and I refuse to let you pay for anything while you’re here! And    3    moment you arrive in the city, I bet you’ll fall in love with it.

Considering you are curious and    4    (familiar) with London, I’ll give you a brief introduction and    5    (describe) of it and your visit plan.

London is an international city with people from all over the world    6    (live) here and as a result, there are many international restaurants, including many Chinese restaurants. Since you can’t easily get traveler’s cheques(支票)    7     (exchange) at banks or hotels, I advise you to get some of those before you come.

We should consider staying in the English countryside for a few nights as I know you enjoy hiking. And don’t forget a warm coat! You just can’t imagine    8    cold and foggy it is in the countryside. The majority of the British are friendly and I have made some good friends     9    share my interests so far.

Looking forward    10    your visit, Aunt Mei!
