After almost 24 hour of traveling, I was in Beijing. I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with some of my classmates. We were all tired and dirty. Even at the airport, it was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} that we were in a foreign country which was very different {#blank#}3{#/blank#} our own. For us, the language sounded very{#blank#}4{#/blank#} . Although nervous, I felt excited.
It's amazing{#blank#}5{#/blank#} there are so many places of interest (名胜) in Beijing. We visited the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square and the Great Wall.
One day, Li Bo, a Chinese friend of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , took us to visit a village. On the way, it rained {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . we were wet when we arrived, but we were happy to see the mountains in the{#blank#}8{#/blank#} . They were really beautiful. The China Study Tour made me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a lot about the country, the people I met and even myself. It was the most valuable (宝贵的) part of my college life. I often encourage my friends to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a study tour. There's no other way to learn so much in only four weeks!

    I lived a quiet life with my mom, dad and two sisters But one day my dad told me something and my life started to be different -- We would move to a new town. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for months about starting a new school.

    On the first day of school, I walked into my new classroom and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} very hard not to look scared. But it wasn't {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when twenty-eight students looked at me. They all looked so cool. Mr. Bernstein introduced (把……介绍给) me to the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and asked me to sit in the back of the room, next to another .girl. Her name was Janet. "What is she like? Does she like sitting with me?" I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    After class, it was lunchtime. I walked to the dining hall with Janet. We sat at the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} table. We ate and asked each other questions. Sisters? We both (两个都) had two, and we were both the youngest (最年轻的) in the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Home? We lived quite near. It was only fifteen minutes' walk from her home to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. We had more smiles (微笑) on our faces when we got to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} more about each other.

    At the end of the day, my morn asked me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was going at school. "I can't wait for the second day to come," I said. I knew it would be a good year for me.

    Hey, friends~ I'm Jill. Let me tell you {#blank#}1{#/blank#}about my sister. My sister's name is Cathy. She is a(n) {#blank#}2{#/blank#}She works in a hospital not far from our house. Her eating habits are very healthy. She {#blank#}3{#/blank#}junk food And she {#blank#}4{#/blank#}eats it. She exercises more than an hour every day. Sure, she is in good {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    From Monday to Saturday, Cathy is full. Sometimes she doesn't have {#blank#}6{#/blank#}time for dinner. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} things are different on Sunday. On that day she never works. Sometimes she and I go to the movies {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Sometimes she rides her bicycle to the farm to help Dad look after the pigs. Oh, last Sunday she didn't go to the movies. She didn't help Dad look after the pigs, either. She and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} paragliding on Blues Beach. I enjoyed {#blank#}10{#/blank#}but she didn't. Why? That's because she hurt (使受伤) her leg.
