    Hello, I'm Anna, and I'm in the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(seven)grade at school I'm 13. I don't have a lot of friends{#blank#}6{#/blank#}I have two very close ones：Mary and Jenny My family{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(have)a house in the country and I often spend time there with Mary and Jenny. I don't have{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(some)brothers or sisters, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}it's good to have friends to play with I have a computer arid we love{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(play)games on it together.

    The whole school was talking about the winter camp. And everyone {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) looking forward to it except me because I thought I would get homesick. But it was the way we grew up.

    When {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (arrive) at the camp, we were asked to ski(滑雪)down to the field by the coach. I skied {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (careful), but I still hit a piece of ice and fell down.

    "Haha!" somebody started laughing behind me. I looked back to see {#blank#}4{#/blank#} was laughing at me. To my surprise, I saw {#blank#}5{#/blank#} girl in the same embarrassing(令人尴尬的) position I was in. "I thought I'd be bad at this, but it seems {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (difficult) than I expected!" she said. Suddenly, I started laughing too. After being so afraid of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fall), it was comfortable not to fear it any more.

    The next day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I didn't want to go ski jumping, I was chosen to do first. But when my {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (foot) left the ground, I felt I was flying and it was wonderful.

    Just do your best {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (meet) every challenge. You'll never imagine how much you will get.

    Do you like to travel? Which means of transport do you like {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(well), cars, trains, ships or planes?

    The {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fast) way of travelling is by plane. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a plane, we can travel in one day to a place which it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(take) a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.

    Travelling by train is {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(slow) than by plane, but we can see beautiful scenery during the travel. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining compartments(车厢). They make the longest journey {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(enjoy).

    Some people like travelling by ship. There are large luxury liners(客轮) and river boats. They are not as {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(fast) as trains or planes, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}traveling by ship is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

    Many people like to travel by car because they can make their own timetable. They can travel {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(hundred) of miles a day, just as they wish. They can stop wherever they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend a night at a hotel. That is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} people like travelling by car for pleasant trips, while they usually take trains or planes for business.
