Have you ever been to an amusement park? There is an amusement park in the center of my city. I think it is wonderful and exciting.
I visited the amusement park with my parents this summer. I 1 it was a sunny day. A long line of people were waiting to buy tickets. Most people brought 2 with them: they wanted to take some photos. Inside of the amusement park were many wonderful rides 3 water rides, a roller coaster (过山车) and sightseeing trains. My parents 4 sightseeing trains that carried passengers around the amusement park. 5 felt very relaxed. I liked water rides. You can't imagine how excited you feel 6 you travel through the water. The roller coaster was very 7 with adults and kids. A lot of people were waiting to get on. But some of them 8 stand up after getting off the roller coaster!

Techeng Island(特呈岛)lies in the southeast of Zhanjiang. The villagers there used to make a living by fishing. But now, most of them make much money by doing business. They believe that their island is a gift from nature and they give thanks to it every day. In 2003, President Hu Jintao came to visit the island and pointed out that the government of Zhanjiang should take the is land into a "civilized new ecotourism island"(文明生态旅游新海岛). Since then, the island has opened a new page in history.
Today, the island has become a popular place for tourists. It takes you about 15 minutes to get there by boat from Maxie Pier(码头)near Haibin Park. But it is a just 8minute boat ride from Zhanjiang Port Pier. In the resort(度假村), you can not only enjoy the fantastic sights but also have a lot of interesting things to do, like walking on the beach, visiting the museum and enjoying the delicious seafood. The best way to relax yourself is to enjoy the hot springs(温泉)there.
Welcome to Techeng Island! It's a place to visit!
In Australia there is a famous island called Fraser Island. A great many visitors come here for holidays every year. Why? The reason is that it is special. . In fact, it is the largest sand island in the world. It's about 175 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide.
Though the island is a popular place of interest, there is no airport on the island. The long beach along the east coast works as the airport. .
On the island there are sand hills without any plants, but there are forests with old trees, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes, too. .
Every year, visitors come to enjoy the island's natural beauty. People like camping and hiking here. . Animals were killed for food and this made them in danger of extinction(灭绝). They threw rubbish everywhere, and the lakes were seriously polluted.

I'm not always a fan of museums. I can't pay attention to what I am watching the subject matter is very interesting. And art museums? They have never my "thing". But that's not to say that I go to museums. I do have my favorite museums around the world. For ， I like NewSeum in Washington, D. C. and Te Papa in Wellington, New Zealand. And sometimes there are several museums that are so or special that I can't let myself skip(略过)them. Here is one of the most special museums I have so far. It is the National Leprechaun(小矮妖)Museum in Dublin, Ireland.
The museum is not a traditional one. Visiting the museum is more like a theater experience. The 45minute tour takes you through the museum room room and your tour guide tells funny stories about leprechauns. Some rooms are of huge furniture(家具). In these rooms, you just look like a very little man. The guide also you to take photos as you make your way through the rooms. So I took a lot of interesting pictures that day.
I really hope to visit the museum again!
