2 . Singapore is a city-state in Southeast Asia. Thanks to a program, we got a chance to explore the Garden City for one day.

First, we headed to the Gardens by the Bay. We were attracted by the Supertrees at once. They are high-rise gardens, which produce electricity using energy from the sun, collect rainwater, and more. From there, we headed to the Cloud Forest, which I found most amazing in this Garden City. In hot and wet Singapore, this is a great place to cool off. Inside, a large waterfall comes down the side of the “cloud mountain.” This intricate structure (错综复杂的建筑) is divided into three levels and contains plants from different places. Visitors are free to walk around and learn more about all of the plants. Our journey then led us to a theater inside the Cloud Forest where we watched a ten-minute film. I was totally taken aback by what I saw. I had never realized that our planet would change so greatly when the temperature increased by just five degrees.

Then we headed back outside and continued on our walk. Between two of the larger Supertrees, you’ll find the Skyway. Visitors can head to the top to enjoy a fantastic bird’s eye view of the city.

Next, we made our way to the Singapore River, where we saw a boat going by. In search of food, we headed into the Marina Bay Sands. It has what has to be the best food court I’ve ever eaten in, with delicious food from all over the world. We ordered different kinds of dishes, which were all tasty.

Needing to walk off that huge lunch, we walked from one side of the river to the other. On the other side, we found Merlion, the symbol ( 象征) of Singapore. Water flows out of the mouth of this amazing creation all day long. While walking along the riverside and enjoying the beautiful view, I couldn’t help but wish we had more time to explore this Garden City.

Sparrow

In US writer Sarah Moon’s Sparrow，Sparrow is an introverted(内向的) teenage girl who doesn’t have any friends. Indeed，she usually avoids people. At school，she often goes to the roof to be with the birds. By chance，Sparrow befriends the school librarian. This is a hopeful sign，as the librarian recommends books that Sparrow finds interesting. Unfortunately，Sparrow’s new friend is killed in a car accident. It’s only when Sparrow gets therapy that she begins to turn her life around. She then discovers a passion：music. According to US magazine Kirkus Reviews，Sparrow is，“inspiring and useful for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t belong. ”

The Poet X

If Sparrow’s life is solitary(孤独的)，the life of Xiamora Batista，in The Poet X by Dominican­American writer Elizabeth Acevedo，is full of people.

There are her brilliant brother，her best friend，her father and the many people she meets in her community. The world around her is so busy that it is a challenge to understand it. What helps her to understand this life is poetry.   Xiamora’s poems first appear in the novel in her diary，but soon，when she enters a poetry competition，she is taking her works to the public. “Acevedo has amplified(放大) the voices of girls who are equal parts goddess，warrior(战士)，and hero，”wrote Ibi Zoboi，award­winning author of American Street.

Darius the Great Is Not Okay

Darius is an Iranian­American teenager in US writer Adib Khorram’s Darius the Great Is Not Okay. He is about to migrate to Iran. He has very little connection to the land，so he isn’t looking forward to moving there. The story reveals how making a friend in Iran changes all that for him，opening up a world he didn’t know existed. With his new friend Sohrab，he plays soccer and explores his new country. In the US，Darius was a little depressed，but his blues gradually disappear as he settles into his new life.

“Layered with complexities of identity，body image and mental illness that are so rarely articulated(明确表达) in the voice of a teenage boy of color. Khorram writes tenderly(柔和地) and humorously about his journey of self­acceptance，”wrote The New York Times.
