Unlike traditional angling methods,     3    real bait (鱼饵) is used and patience is required, lure fishing takes a more active approach. Here, anglers use artificial bait and     4    (skillful) imitate the movements of smaller fish,     5    (fool) aggressive fish into thinking they are actually preys.

Another feature that attracts the young generation is that lure fishing is environmentally friendly and     7    (sustain). By using artificial bait, the water environment will not be disturbed. Additionally, the fish are expected     8    (release) after they are caught.

Lure fishing is beginner-friendly and requires less equipment compared with traditional fishing.     9     fans of a highly flexible sport, fishermen can experience the joy of catching fish in a small river near their homes with an     10    (invest) of just a hundred yuan or so.

Leisure time (休闲时光) should be advocated. The main reason that leisure time is important is that it gives a person the balance     1     (need) to focus on his or her other more stressful, daily activities.

Quality leisure time is also vital because it has the ability     6     (improve) one’s communication skills and self-respect.

Winter in Quebec, Canada is very different from that in England. When I first arrived, I was     1     (slight) worried about the winter. I couldn’t imagine     2     it would be like to have 3 metres of snow, and what on earth I was going to do when the weather was so bad. However, here, life goes on as usual. Trains and buses continue, and people socialise and even better.     3     number of new sports take over.

For me, skiing means downhill skiing, in ski resorts (度假胜地), with ski lifts taking you up the mountain. Before     4     (arrive), I did not know there were in fact different     5     (type) of skiing. Imagine a sunny but cold day, and you have taken a chairlift to the top of a mountain     6     (cover) with snow. An hour seems like a few minutes, as you carve your way down a run to the bottom, and then do it all again. It is my new favourite sport.

Ice skating on a frozen (结冰的) lake is another     7     (excite) sport for me. Once I could hardly stand on a pair of ice skates, but now I am able to make laps (圈) of the 3 km route on the lake,     8     is frozen during January and February.

Indeed having 3 metres of snow was a bit frightening. School     9     (cancel) once because of a big snowstorm, but I was     10     busy enjoying all these cool sports that winter finished too soon!
