The Dragon Boat Festival

A: Hey, do you know about the Dragon Boat Festival?

B: Kind of. It's a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} festival in China, isn't it?

A: Yes, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}! On that day, people go and watch dragon boat races. They really {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the team work and skill the racers have.

B: That sounds interesting!

A: They also eat special food, zongzi. It's a way to honor the poet, Qu Yuan.

B: Really? I hope to experience them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} one day

A: Me too! Let's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} more about it online. Chinese culture is so rich and fascinating.

Taking a gap year between high school and university is quite common in the UK. And there are lots of different ways{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(spend) your time. A gap year is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. 

Julie graduated from Hull University. She works {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a manager in an international company. Julie tells us about her gap year. 

"During my gap year, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) in a primary school in Kenya, Africa. I spent four months teaching children {#blank#}5{#/blank#} were aged 8 to 18 English, PE and art. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(lucky), I got a chance of coaching the school's netball team as well. Besides working, I travelled through the country {#blank#}7{#/blank#} even climbed Mount Kenya. "

"The trip was one of the best {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(experience) of my life. I'm very happy that I didn't go to university straight after high school because I learnt a lot in my year out. My trip to Africa also looks great on my CV(简历). My interviewers were really {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(interest) in how I managed to teach a class of 88 children. They thought that {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(climb) up Mount Kenya showed my strong will. Not everybody can put that on his or her CV. "
