Cindy Vaporetto is a kind of boat that can run on the water in Venice, Italy. It travels between Venice and nearby islands. My brother and I take the vaporetto to school on school days. It often takes us 20 minutes. Vaporetto works 24 hours a day. |
Judy In San Francisco, the USA, you can see the trolley cars run on tracks on the streets of the city. Look! The new trolley car with old-fashioned wooden seats and modern mobile TVs is 12 meters long and can carry 80 passengers at one time. It runs on electricity. I get to school by trolley car. It takes me about 45 minutes because it doesn't run very fast, although my home is not far from my school. |
Jack It's fun to go to school by sleigh in Kiev, Ukraine. The reindeer drives the sleigh. It can carry six people at one time. It's a lot more interesting than taking a bus, although it's cold. It takes me 25 minutes to get to school. |

From: Frank@sina.com To: jenny@163.com Subject: My life in America Date: April 6, 2019 Dear Jenny, I'm very glad to hear from you. In your last letter, you asked about my life in America. Let me tell you something about it. Now, I'm studying in the summer school in San Francisco. The school is so big and beautiful. I live in the dorm (宿舍). My roommate (室友) is a boy from Japan. He is very friendly to me. I have six classes every day. I often play tennis or watch a football game after class. American football is very exciting. My classmates are from all over the world. Some of them are interested in Chinese culture. Last Sunday, we went to Chinatown to eat Chinese food and watch Beijing Opera in a theatre. In my free time, I like writing e-mails to my friends in English. It's a good way to improve my English. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Frank |
Amy went to China with her parents for her summer holiday last year. They visited some big cities like Beijing, Guangzhou, Kunming and Qingdao.
In Beijing, they visited the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and the Palace Museum. They also went to the zoos and the parks. The weather was fine and cool. They had a good time in the parks. They also took lots of photos there. In Guangzhou, they visited some museums. They were very interesting but kind of crowded. In Kunming, the weather is never too hot in summer. They visited the Stone Forest, the Golden Temple and EXPO Garden. In Qingdao, they went to the beach and had great fun playing in the water.
"It's very interesting to visit China and I learned a lot about Chinese history," Amy said. "If I have another chance, I'll come back to China again."
