I went to Grand Canyon (大峡谷) National Park in July 2012 for the firsttime and I knew I wanted to work there as a park ranger（管理员）. Park rangers protect the park's animals, plants, land, buildings, andpeople.

Now, as a park ranger forGrand Canyon National Park, I share the science, history and beauty of this parkwith thousands of visitors from around the world.

National parks are like outdoormuseums. Park rangers have all kinds of jobs, depending on where they work and whatthey studied during college. I teach school field trips（实地考察）, work at visitor centers and helppeople stay safe during their visit.

My favorite part of my jobis showing children their first look at the Grand Canyon during school field trips.Children are often amazed at the canyon's size and colors. Sometimes, they thinkit looks like a painting.

Being a park ranger requiresa lot of energy. I walk several miles and talk with hundreds of people each day.Park rangers must enjoy working with people and speaking in front of groups. Nearly5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park every year.

Park rangers must also beprepared for any situation. Recently, I broke a traffic jam(堵塞). It was caused by a huge elk（麋鹿）standing in the road. Elks can become dangerous when they get scared,so I asked visitors to stop their cars and take pictures from far away. Believeit or not, I also help protect people from monkeys. It is not allowed to feed animalsin national parks. But sometimes, visitors try to feed monkeys.

My name is Wu Binbin. 

Dear mum, 

Sorry I haven't written till now. I'm travelling with my Chinese friend Li Lei in Harbin, then ice city of Heilongjiang in Northeast China. Now let me tell you something about it. 

When we got here, people were so kind and they welcomed us warmly. On the first day, we saw all kinds of ice sculptures (冰雕). They looked like plants and animals, and we took lots of photos of them. Going down the longest ice slide was exciting. We watched a firework show and the lion dance at night, too. 

On the second day, we watched the sunrise, and enjoyed the hot springs (泉) and barbecue s (烧烤). We also met a group of 11 lovely children from Nanning. They were having an educational (教育的) trip. They all wore bright orange clothes and were known as "Little Oranges". They stayed with the local families for a week and took part in different activities with their lead teachers. They could also learn how to look after themselves when travelling. They were so brave. 

In a word, the experience in Harbin was quite exciting, meaningful and unforgettable. Let me know how you are doing in New York. 

Yours, 

Tom

17-year-old Girl Rides to School

Kacey Tucker, a 17-year-old girl, comes from Saudi Arabia. The girl rides her horse to school every day.

"My family has two horses, Jacob and Donald." she says, "My sister, Melissa and I often ride them to school."

After finishing all her middle school classes in Saudi Arabia, Kacey 

goes to a university (大学) in America now." My cousin's university has a really clean and big barn （畜棚）," says Kacey, " And I'm very happy to study there."

Kacey gets another horse, Winston in America. And she rides the horse to and from the university every day.

"That's so cool. I'd like a horse, too!" one of Kacey's classmates says.

Taihang Grand Canyon National Forest Park is a natural wonder. It lies in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} part of Huguan County. There are some sweet springs, silver chains—like waterfalls, deep pools, clear streams, interesting karst caves and forests spreading all over the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

I always remember the journey to go there. In the early morning, we began to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the canyon. At first the canyon was silent. With more and more people coming, the canyon became noisy. There were so many trees and we didn't know most of them. Some signs along the paths told us something about different sights. We heard the loud waterfalls {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we were far away from them. When we got near, we {#blank#}5{#/blank#} cool at once. The waterfalls were high and pretty. We also visited some other sights and had great fun there.
