There are various kinds of theme parks with different parks for almost everything: food, culture, science,     1     (cartoon), movies, history and so on. Some parks are famous for having the     2     (big) or longest roller coasters, others for showing famous sights and     3     (sound).

The theme park you are probably most familiar     4     is Disneyland, which can     5     (find) in several parts of the world. Disneyland will bring you into a magical world and make your childhood dreams come true.     6     (travel) through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting an     7     (adore) fairytale or cartoon character are all possible at Disneyland. As you wander around the fantasy     8     (amuse) park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a p    9     (巡游) or even on the street. Disneyland also has many exciting rides to amuse you,     10     enormous swinging ships to scary free-fall drops. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!

A few weeks ago, a friend and I, both travelling in the south of France,     1    (decide) to go to the chocolate festival     2     (call) “Feria du Chocolat” in French. I had     3    fantastic time.

There were stalls (货摊) selling boxes of chocolates, sweets, dessert wines, etc. All the stall owners were very friendly and happy to see the    4     (arrive) of foreigners like us. They explained their methods of    5     (make) chocolate, showed us photos of their factories, and, of course, let us try their products! My friend bought some chocolate cups,    6    I think are great novelties (新鲜事物)- you drink your drink, and then you can eat the chocolate cup !

We then went to a masterclass where we learnt how to make chocolate. I was a little    7    (worry) before the masterclass, as there were only 12 people in a class, and I wasn’t sure if my French would be good enough     8     (understand) everything! Luckily, everyone was     9    (extreme) friendly - the lady next    10    me was making notes of everything we did, so she explained when I didn’t understand. At the end, our class stayed in the room and chatted about how much we were enjoying the day and eating lots of chocolate!

4 . Feel like a family day trip outside London? Here are some of the best choices.

Harry Potter Studio

The Harry Potter Studio tour is one of the easiest day trips from London. Just read the directions on the website where you buy tickets and follow the crowds from the train to the bus. It is a unique experience. A walk through the studio allows families to appreciate every little detail that was put into the production of the Harry Potter movies from the costumes to the sets. Visitors can view the Potions Classroom, board the Hogwarts’ Express, and walk through the Dursley’s house.

Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle is one of the most beautiful castles in the UK. It is surrounded by a river and gardens, making it a relaxing and peaceful place. Leeds Castle is open for self-guided tours, and there are kid-friendly shows. Leeds Castle has a wonderfully-designed maze (迷宫), which has a surprise at the center that will appeal to all ages, not just children looking for a place to play. Leeds Castle also has a big playground, one part of which is set aside for small kids while the other inspires teenagers in an old game of hide-and-seek.

Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle is used by the current British royal family. This makes it the longest-occupied palace in Europe. Afraid that your young children might feel dull? Don’t worry. There is a kids’ audio tour available as well as an activity that features crafts (手工艺), coloring and dress-up for little ones. And in the summer months, parents will be happy to know that there is a place to get an ice cream for their kids centrally located in the castle complex (建筑群).
