Most of us have learned English for a few years, 1 we can read English books and magazines without the teacher's help. We feel good when we finish 2 an English story or a whole(整个的) book by ourselves. But 3 can we be a better reader?
It is important to 4 some suitable(适宜的)books. Then what books are suitable? Well, I think we should first choose books that are not too difficult or too 5 . Then when we are reading, we should 6 let new words take up too much of our attention(注意力). Just do as we often do in our own 7 . While we are reading, try to 8 the meaning of the new words, and try to decide which of the key words we could guess and which we have to 9 in the dictionary.
If we follow the 10 , we will be successful in reading English books and magazines.
Patagonia(巴塔哥尼亚), along the south top of South America, is very famous for its beautiful views and many kinds of animals. Those make it a popular place for visitors from all over the world.
Start your trip between September and May. Remember that Patagonia is in the southern hemisphere(南半球), so the weather will be very pleasant and warm between September and May. Make your trip between October and February if you'd like to travel in its spring or summer months. If you like the cool weather, you may enjoy visiting it in March and April.
Book a flight(航班) to Chile or Argentina to start your trip. Look up flights from your city to Chile or Argentina. Fly into Santiago or Buenos Aires. There you can get lots of travel information about Patagonia. International(国际的) flights can be a little expensive, so try to book your flight sooner rather than later, and you may get a discounted(打折的) ticket.
Order a bus seat to Patagonia. Book a bus seat if you plan to visit both Chile and Argentina. Remember that the bus ride takes 5 to 7 hours anywhere, as you'll need to stop at customs(海关). Try to book it at least a month before your trip. It is about $80 for a one-way trip(单程旅行).
