Yesterday I visited the Hong Shan Forest Zoo. I was{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to find few people there. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} are very important places. They provide homes{#blank#}3{#/blank#} many endangered animals .They also help to educate the public about
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} them . If we {#blank#}5{#/blank#} our zoos, they won't have enough money to take care of so{#blank#}6{#/blank#} fine animals. Therefore, People should go and visit the zoos more often to learn about animals and help to protect them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} .
However, some people don't think so. They think zoos are terrible places for animals to live.“I've visited a lot of zoos in my life, and I have never seen one I like or one that{#blank#}8{#/blank#} animals to live in .”Jenny said The animals{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in small cages and can {#blank#}10{#/blank#} move at all .What's more, they are only given food once a week That's terrible.

    I'm Tom Smith. I'm from England. I'm twelve years old. I like China and I like {#blank#}1{#/blank#} food. But I can't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Chinese. Chinese is difficult {#blank#}3{#/blank#} interesting for me. I want to learn it. So I want to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} some Chinese friends. I hope they can {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me Chinese. Then I can help them {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their English.

    At school my favorite subject is {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. It's relaxing. I can sing and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the guitar and the piano. I can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} dance well. Do you like music, too? Do you want to make {#blank#}10{#/blank#} with me? Please e-mail me at Tom0912@yahoo.cn.

    Hey, friends! Do you{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Bibury? Bibury is a good place for people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} holidays. I'm sure you can have a good time there.

    Bibury is a village in England. It is on the list (名单) of must-see places for {#blank#}3{#/blank#}People call it " the most {#blank#}4{#/blank#}village in England".

    Arlington Row is the most famous {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in Bibury. It's next to the River Coln. Arlington Row is so famous that you can see it in all UK passports (护照). All the visitors enjoy {#blank#}6{#/blank#} photos of it.

Bibury Trout Farm is in the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of the beautiful village. It is one of Britain's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}and most famous trout (鳟鱼) farms. People {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it in 1902. There is a present shop, a fish shop, a(n){#blank#}10{#/blank#}and a little coffee shop on the farm. Visitors can catch their trout there.

    My birthday was a few days ago. Now I'm 24 years old and I'm 46 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with teaching. I didn't remember my birthday until the morning of the 20th. It was just like a normal day, no gifts, no party, no cake... and 1 prefer it that way. When I was younger, I always felt sad that almost 47 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} remembered my birthday, not even my family. But now I don't care anymore, from 23 to 24, not much difference. This month I have several foreign students {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Chinese with me. I give lessons privately, so I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to do quite a lot of work before each lesson. So far I'm getting more {#blank#}5{#/blank#} in teaching foreigners Chinese, and I think it's a very cool job. When I was at {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I wanted to follow these native English speakers. They can {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to foreign countries and get teaching jobs easily almost anywhere even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they're not real teachers. I complained Chinese people didn't have as many chances as people from the West. But now things are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. As China is becoming stronger, Chinese is becoming more and more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, and maybe, in the future I can get teaching jobs in foreign countries. I'll study more and get ready.
