My friend had a chance to make a trip to Hong Kong{#blank#}1{#/blank#}August 15, 2016. He had dreamed about{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(visit) it since his boyhood and it was the first time that he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) there. The following was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he had seen.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(arrive) there, he was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(shock) by its beautiful scenery and tall buildings.{#blank#}7{#/blank#}we all know, Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers in the world. Wherever he went, he saw many smiling faces. People in Hong Kong were kind, generous, easygoing and ready to help others. Much to his surprise, he saw that people there always kept order in public places.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}a great number of people were waiting for the next train at the subway station, they were talking in such a low voice as not to disturb others.

    Chinese and English are the official languages of Hong Kong. English is{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wide) used in governments, markets, service centers and other fields.

    Staying there for a week was a good experience for him,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}he would never forget.

Dear Sir,

    I'm Li Hua, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} student from Class2, Grade 3. I'm writing to apply{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the position as a student volunteer.

    I really want to catch this precious opportunity because, by {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(offer) my service, I will be able to improve my organizational ability, communication skills as well as {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(confident) in speaking English in public.

    As an outgoing girl, I get along well with my classmates. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, I have been elected as assistant to my English teacher because I have {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a good command of English. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(successful), I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （lend） a helping hand to her in several English activities of my class, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} have been appreciated by both teachers and classmates.

    I am sure that I can perfectly live up to your expectations. I will be grateful {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you could give me a kind consideration.

    A girl {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name)Dina was born in California in 1932. After {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(graduate) from university in 1954, she worked at a children's hospital in Kentucky for several years. However, her interest in animals inspired her {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (take)her first step towards her future work. In 1966, she went to Africa to study rare mountain gorillas

Even though some of the gorillas were quite dangerous, this didn't not discourage her. She showed great {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (devote) to her work and loved to tell people about gorillas. Dina was an outgoing and kind person and had the ability to gain valuable data about their lives by becoming a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(company)to them. She wrote a book about the gorillas she had lived {#blank#}6{#/blank#} It is thanks to her research {#blank#}7{#/blank#}we now know more about mountain gorillas. Her love for the gorillas teaches people about dangers these animals {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(face)with. Now they are protected by governments and various organizations. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}her work, there would be very few mountain gorillas left today. She has received world's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(famous)around the world and is now regarded as one of the heroes of the 20^th century.

    There are all kinds of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(festival)throughout the world，festivals to satisfy and please the ancestors，to honour some famous people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} important events，and to express people's gratitude to the God for bringing them a year of plenty. For example，Japanese observe Obon, when people go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} India，October 2 is a national festival to honour Mohandas Gandhi，who helped India become an {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(depend) country. And in China the Spring Festival, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is celebrated in January or February，is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(much)energetic and important because it is a festival that {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(look) forward to the coming of spring. Why are all these festivals everywhere？Because during the festivals，people can get together {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( eat), drink and have fun with each other, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(forget) all the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(day) struggles and demands for a while.
