2 . Scotland is packed with beautiful places to visit and you could honestly spend months and months exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer! Next I’m going to take you through some of the best place to visit in Scotland, based on where we have personally visited so far!

If you asked me where my favourite place to visit in all of Scotland is... I would say, Glen Coe. The whole area of Glen Coe constantly had my face in shock due to the beauty that I was witnessing1 was witnessing (亲眼看见). It’s just a stream of dramatic mountains, lakes, rugged (崎岖的) beauty and more.

Fort William is probably one of the most well-known places to visit in Scotland. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to being home to the UK’s tallest mountain: Ben Nevis. Fort William is also the starting point for one of the world’s most famous train rides: The Jacobite. Harry Potter fans will recognize it as the Hogwarts Express, and this train ride will take you through the beautiful countryside, crossing some iconic Harry Potter filming locations such as the Dumbledore’s Grave and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!

This island feels totally different from other parts of Scotland and is truly rugged and ready! There are many hot spots to explore including the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.

This is the largest national park in the UK so it’s another popular place to visit in Scotland and it’s no surprise why. It’s absolutely beautiful and there’s so much happening at the Cairngorms National Park! From skiing or meeting local reindeers, you’ll not go bored and you’ll be surrounded by beauty the entire time.

Over the years I     1     (teach) children about a simple but powerful concept — the ant philosophy (哲学),     2     amazing four-part philosophy.

First, ants never quit. If they’re heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, and they’ll climb around. They never quit     3     (look) for a way to get where they     4     (suppose) to go. Second, ants think about winter all summer. They are always gathering their winter food in the middle of summer and they are making     5     (prepare) for the long cold winter. So you have to think about storms in summer, think about rocks     6     you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter. During the winter, ants remind     7     (them), “This won’t last long. We’ll soon be out of here.” On the first warm day, the ants are out. If it     8     (turn) cold again, they’ll dive back down, but they come out again if it is warm. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it     9     (possible) can.     10     you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Plastic is a huge problem for our planet. It is really     1     (challenge) to get rid of and a lot of it ends up in nature or in the ocean in particular. There, it is a threat     2     our animals and plants.

Now a company from the Netherlands, a small country in western Europe, says that it will use plastic     3     (find) in the ocean to build roads. Volker Wessels     4     (turn) the plastic into building blocks for the roads. They will be like puzzle pieces     5     fit into each other.

Not only will this be good for the environment, but also it will be good for the people who look after roads. If a part of the road     6     (damage), it will be easy to remove it and replace it with another piece. The company says that nearly any type of plastic can be used     7     (make) the road pieces.

Scientists     8     (work) on the project say that they are in the final stages of testing the materials for     9     (safe). They say that the first road built will be     10     bicycle path somewhere in the Netherlands.

8 . Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy life.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

Husbands and wives use doghouse when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for forgetting their wedding anniversary (周年纪念). She might tell him that he is in the doghouse and treats him badly. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.

Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
