Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that I would get to the place I was going to by chance .Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, "Sorry, I am a stranger here."
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting. When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other.
At this time of the year, when you look up at the sky, some "man-made birds" may catch your eyes. These birds are colorful kites.
Kites were invented in China. In the beginning, they were made of wood and bamboo. People used them to pass messages or as warning signals during the wartime. Later, paper kites became popular and people flew kites to get rid of bad luck and bless themselves. Today, the custom is still alive that there are traditional patterns in some kites such as the bat standing for blessing.
However, modern kites come in different shapes and patterns. The largest kite in the world is a big "octopus", It's 1, 500 square meters, which is as big as three basketball courts. A kite team from Tianjin made it in three months.
Kite flying is an enjoyable sight in the sky. In China, the best time to enjoy colorful kites is during the Weifang International Kite Festival in April .The festival has competitions for kite-flying skills and new styles of kites.
Kite flying is also a healthy sport. It is good for your neck and eyes. When looking at the flying kites in the sky, your neck and eyes become relaxed.

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city. Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery(风光) and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化).
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.
