Today I took part in the Beijing Foreign Language Festival with my friend Li Ming. We arrive there by bike in the morning. First we attended to a lecture introduced good methods of learning English. The audience all listened but took notes carefully. Then we went to the English Corner, there lots of people were talking with foreigners in small group. Li Ming and I joined them with greatly interest. That was amazing to find myself talking with the native speaker and we got on quite well. Time passed quickly. Before leaving, we bought some books and dictionaries. The festival gave you a good chance to practice my English.

The giant panda     1     (love) by people throughout the world. Chinese scientists     2     (recent) had a chance to study a wild female panda with a newborn baby. She was a very     3    (care) mother. For 25days, she never left her baby, not even to find something     4     (eat)! She would not let any other pandas come near. She licked the baby constantly to keep it clean. Any smell might attract natural     5    (enemy) that would try to eat the little comforting panda. The mother held the baby in her front paws much the way a human does.     6     it cried, she rocked it back and forth and gave it little comforting pats. The mother continued to care for the young panda     7     more than two years. By that time, the panda no longer needed     8    (it) mother for food. However, it stayed with her and learned about the ways of the forest. Then, after two and a half years, the mother     9     (drive) the young panda away. It was time for her to have a new baby,     10     it was also time for the young panda to be independent.
