My family spent a few weeks in London last year. We went there1 autumn. We think it is always2 season to visit England. The weather is usually quite good3 there are not too many travelers in October. We stayed in4 small hotel in the West End. We5 most of our sightseeing on foot.
We went to look at the places which all travelers would like6 . We went shopping and spent too much money7 a lot of things. What we liked most was going to the theatres. We didn't have the chance to see such8 plays at home. A lot of people say English food is very bad.
We didn't think so. It is true that most of the restaurants9 French, Italian, or Chinese, but Britain has some very delicious meals in fact. We enjoyed10 there, so we have already decided to go there again next year. But we are going to take our umbrellas. I'm sure we'll need them sometimes.
I live in Cairo in Africa (非洲). Cairo is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in the Arab world. I work in a small shop.
The shop is near a native(当地的)1 . Every day, many students come to2 things.

It was time for lunch. Mr El's fourth graders were waiting in line (排队等候）for lunch. Mr El said, "Every year we use alphabetical order (字母表顺序）to get lunch, to get on the school bus, to go home and so on. This year we will use reverse(反向的）alphabetical order. "
Mindy Vale put up her hand, "I always stood at the back of the line! Now I'm near the front. Thank you, thank you!"
The teacher smiled. Then he saw Christopher Cash raise his hand. "Mr EI, I don't think this is a good idea. This could be difficult for some of us!" he said.
"Don't worry, Christopher. We only have smart kids in this class. "
"How many of you think this is a good idea" asked Mr EI. Some students put up their hands. Many of them were usually at the back of the line. Zoe Watney put up her hand the highest.
