    What do you think a nine-year-old girl would like to do? She may like reading, painting, playing games with her friends. But nine-year-old Jesse Jane likes none of these things. Her favourite is kung fu.

    Jesse Jane is from County Armagh, Northern Ireland. She lives with her parents and two sisters. Jesse is the first child in her family. When she was three, her mother took her to a dance school. But Jesse was not interested in dancing. "She had other ideas," her mother said. "She tried kung fu and she just loved it."

    Jesse loves kung fu so much. She practices day and night and improves quickly. She often takes part in competitions. Until now, she has already won 117 prizes. Jesse is not only a famous kid in her home town, but also a new star in Hollywood. She has already acted in three Hollywood films.

    "She'd love to be like Jackie Chan," Jesse's mother said. "She is famous now, but she's still very hard-working. "Jesse also has another big dream: being an Olympic champion.

    The best experience of my life was when we went to Stonehenge. We went there on a group tour.

    When I saw Stonehenge, my first 1 was that it was huge. You know, Stonehenge is about 5, 000 years old. I 2 how the ancient people moved these huge pieces of stone. After we parked(停车) at the Stonehenge parking lot, our guide Nick took us to a 3shop. There my mum got a nice painting of Stonehenge. After we left the gift shop, we went to Stonehenge 4the tunnel.

    That was a privilege(优惠待遇)at Stonehenge 5we were able to go right up to the stones and touch them. Usually visitors 6get really close and touch the stones. At Stonehenge we walked around the circle and then 7the ceremonial(仪式的) centre. There we were given half a(n) 8 to look around and explore.9 30 minutes we got ready to leave. It was 10 that we had to leave Stonehenge.

    Hopefully, one day I'll go back.
