Everyone dreams of traveling to Europe. Whether you' re taking your first trip by yourself, going there with a little money, or just looking for new cities, cultures and food, Europe is something for everyone
Europe is one of the most interesting continents(大陆) you can visit. It has a deep- rooted history and welcomes cultures from all over the world. And it's one of the easiest places to travel around with the convenient transportation ( you may take the subway and taxi easily in Europe).
There are several parts of Europe: eastern Europe, northern Europe, southern Europe and western Europe. Among these, the eastern Europe is a good choice for travelers who want to save money. Northern Europe is known for its natural phenomenon(现象)- the Northern Lights. If you want to see them, you need to visit in winter only when conditions are at their best. Southern Europe is made up of all the countries close to Mediterranean Sea and it's known for its natural wonders and ancient history. Western Europe is the most popular part of Europe, and it has lots of famous spots, like the Eiffel Tower, Van Gogh Museum and Big Ben.
If you are backpacking through Europe, the best time to travel is from November to March, when you'll find cheap tickets for planes and hotels. However, if you're planning a ski vacation or you want to visit the
Christmas Markets, you'll find large crowds of travelers. The busiest time of year for Europe is summer. From June to August, travelers from all over the world go to this place to enjoy the good weather.
①New cities and cultures. ②Delicious food.
③Different people. ④Different experiences.
I went to the UK last weekend to lean English. So far I have already had a few friends and had some traditional English food here. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favourite — huoguo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huoguo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn't see any sign of huoguo. Where was it? With many questions in my mind, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huoguo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huoguo is written in two words — hot pot. However, hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot at a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huoguo, hot pot, two words!
After a long vacation from school, it's often hard to get back into the study routine. Your mind is probably filled with short-term memory gaps and new experiences that make you feel like your brain has been taking a long nap. Since schools will go back to their normal system, students also need to get ready early. Here are some simple tips that can help you get back into the swing of studying:
Create the desire(欲望) to learn.
The driving force behind achieving success in life is desire. As a student, you must have the de- sire to learn. When there is a desire to learn, it will help you get back to your study habit faster. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Learning can be difficult, but fear and worrying won't solve the problem either.
Make a list of priorities.
Once you' ve got the basics down, it's time to make a list of what's important. This is the most important step in any plan: you have to put your tasks in order and make sure they' re not all piled up on top of each other. Don't forget that there are also time limits involved. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Find a way to track your progress.
There are several ways to make sure you keep track of your progress. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If not, then find one online or at school, and make sure it's easy to find when you need it. This way, even if you forget what day a task is due(到期), there will always be some kind of reminder nearby to tell you when things need to be done next time.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
It's okay to ask for help. You don't have to do it alone, and the more people who help you, the better. You will learn from their experiences and feel more confident by being able to make your own decisions when needed.
Getting back into studying can be a challenge; knowing how to handle it will help you in your future studies.
A. You must keep away from all kinds of fear. B. Use a calendar if you have one in your room. C. The first battle you need to win is in your mind. D. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. E. This way, you can make sure you' re spending your time wisely. |
Among the four tips mentioned in the passage, which one do you think is the most important? Why?(不超过20词) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
