The sun was going down when we arrived at the ground floor of the building. I was afraid of going to the top of tall buildings, so I was a little   {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   when I walked into a lift. The lift climbed faster and faster  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  we reached the 88th floor. It  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}   high up there, but I was not afraid when I stood at the top.

  The Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai is 420.5   {#blank#}4{#/blank#}   high. It is one of the tallest buildings in the world. It {#blank#}5{#/blank#}    in 1999, and it has a fantastic view of Pudong District and the centre of Shanghai. I really like t he tower and I am sure I will visit it again.

    There is a nature park in the southwest of our city. The government built it to{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the rare animals. The nature park has been the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}of our city.

    Yesterday my friends and I{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it. The workers there asked us not to{#blank#}4{#/blank#}animals. Many animals are in{#blank#}5{#/blank#}because people kill them for their meat and fur. Another reason is that people are taking{#blank#}6{#/blank#}their land and{#blank#}7{#/blank#}their water dirty. The{#blank#}8{#/blank#}is becoming very serious.

    I learnt much yesterday. I think people should{#blank#}9{#/blank#}up more comfortable houses for the animals and help them live in{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. We should do our best to protect them, because protecting them is protecting ourselves.

    Modem life is not possible without travelling. The fastest way to travel is by plane. With a modem plane, you can travel in one day to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} which it took a month or more to get to one hundred years ago.

    Travelling by train is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}than travelling by plane, but you can see beautiful places {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the windows. Modem trains have comfortable {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and dining cars. They make the long journey pleasant.

    Some people prefer to travel by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a holiday.

    Many people like to travel by car. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty miles a day, just as you like. You can stop anytime if there is {#blank#}7{#/blank#}interesting to see. That is why travelling by car is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane for business trips.

He has a soccer ball and he plays soccer with his friends every day. So his favorite sport is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.
