    I'm Mary. I am travelling in Tokyo. I have a good time here, 1 I have to say that I like Beijing better. Tokyo is a good place 2 and I'm happy to be here for my six-month Japanese travel. I came here a month 3 Now let me tell you 4 about Tokyo.

    I enjoy 5 to many places here. But it's very difficult for me 6 the ways around the city.

    In Tokyo, only the important streets have names, and the houses are numbered by age. For example, when the first house was built in a place, it was marked (标记) Number One, and the second was Number Two. 7 the second house may be very far away 8 the first one. Most of the people here are 9 to tell you the ways. They may even draw a map for you. 10, friendly they are! Don't you think so?
