Finland(芬兰) isn't on the North Pole and isn't always covered by snow. Finland is actually covered by forests and lakes. There are plenty of reindeer living in the forest and there is a wonderful tradition of making wooden toys, so maybe Father Christmas keeps a factory in Finland. In summer, kids can enjoy long, long days that never end—the nights never really get dark. The following are some interesting things to do in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
Market Square
Start your visit at the open-air market at Market Square on the South Harbor. In summer, you can watch people selling fish and potatoes from their boats, eat a bag of fresh strawberries, or a sandwich from the Old Market Hall and sit out on the stone dock (码头) to watch the boats coming and going.
Take a boat ride
From the Market Square, there are four or five possible boat rides. You can take a boat to travel around the islands of Helsinki. Or, you can take a water bus to Helsinki Zoo.
Seurasaari
Seurasaari is only minutes from the center of Helsinki. Once you cross the bridge to the island, you'll find yourself in 18th and 19th century Finland.
William Shakespeare was a poet and a playwright in England. He has been a popular writer for more than four hundred years. People like his plays because the plays make people feel happy, sad, shocked, or scared. His stories are exciting, and they also make people think about great ideas such as good and evil (善与恶).
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. A sonnet is a special type of poem with fourteen lines. His sonnets were mostly about love. One of his most famous sonnets began with the line, "Shall I compare thee* to a summer's day?"
Today, William Shakespeare is thought to be one of the greatest writers who ever lived. Shakespeare's plays are exciting and fun, and they also touch people. The characters in his plays show how difficult and beautiful life can be.
