People say Vancouver is Canada’s most beautiful city,     1    (surround) by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The trees are extremely high, some     2    (measure) over 90 meters. As for Calgary, it is famous for the Calgary Stampede. Cowboys come to compete and many of them have a gift     3     riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prizes.

My friend and I took a two-hour ferry ride from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to Stone Town, Zanzibar. We headed to its famous spice (香料) farms. Cloves, peppers, cinnamon and ginger     1     (be) just a few of the spices     2     grow there and we learned a lot about them. After the tour, we went to the seafood market.     3     was satisfying to pick out some crab and fish for the cooks to prepare. Then we went to bed fat and happy. The next day we went to stay at a beach     4     (call) Paje. We swam, read and danced to African music there.

Very early on the morning of the third day, we     5     (journey) to the island’s southern tip. The guide told us the dolphin came every morning to eat and play. So we rode out and waited in the boat until we saw a dolphin fin. The guide drove the boat near the dolphins and asked us     6    (jump) in. So we did! The dolphin was shy, but     7     (eventual) they swam closer. One came so close and I could have touched it!

After that, we returned to Stone Town to explore the big old houses. Hundreds of years ago, the city was a huge trading port. All shipments     8     (go) east to the Indian Ocean stopped in Stone Town. The city was rich, and     9     (wealth) people built big houses with beautiful doors. I also visited a museum there and learned how Zanzibar had been influenced by the Kingdom of Oman. That is     10     the people look like they are from North Africa.
