Last year, I went to India. I 1 ten days travelling around India.

    India is different from my country. The people, the food, and even the shops are not the same as those in my 2. However, some things are the same. For example, some people in India speak English like us. What's more, there are also open-air 3 for shopping and a lot of people there enjoy drinking tea.

    It's 4 to travel around India. That's because I can 5 different ways of life, history, and culture. When I was there, I noticed (注意到) the people's colorful clothes, motorbikes with four people on and cows in the middle of the street.

    I 6 loved seeing the Taj Mahal (泰姬陵). It's a very 7 building. Although I didn't think it was good that foreign tourists had to pay more to get in the palace, I felt 8 when I visited it. I could learn a lot about the history of the building.

    During the trip, I also took a bus to a market in Anjuna. There were a lot of people 9 their colorful clothes, bags, and food. It's great 10 to try to bargain (讨价还价) with them.

    After this experience, I really love India.

—I prefer orange juice because it's good for my health.

—I am going to the store near my house to buy some bread.

    On April 10, 2019, the first picture of a black hole was shown to people. Here are some interesting facts about black holes.

    What's a black hole?

    It was an idea first raised in Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity in 1915. A black hole is a place in space where the gravity is so strong that even light cannot get out. Some scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe (宇宙) began.

    How big is a black hole?

    Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom (原子). Unlike small black holes, the mass of a big black hole can be more than one million suns together.

    If black holes are "black", how do scientists know they are there?

    A black hole cannot be seen, because strong gravity pulls all of the light into the middle of the black hole. But scientists can see how the strong gravity affects (影响) the stars and gas around the black hole. Scientists can study stars to find out if they're moving around a black hole.

    Could a black hole destroy (摧毁) Earth?

    The answer is no. Earth will not fall into a black hole because no black hole is close enough to the solar system for Earth to do that.

Dear Daisy,

    Long time no see. How's it going these days? I have a piece of good news to tell you.

    My parents (buy) a new flat in the center of the city. The rooms are not big, they are all comfortable. There are more rooms than our old flat. I am (excite) because I have my own bedroom. In the old flat, I shared the bedroom with my sister.

    My favorite room in the new flat is my bedroom. I can be alone in it. It is (I) own small world. I can listen to music, read (book) and chat with my friends on the phone. I can also look for things on computer and send e-mails to my e-friends.

    The kitchen (be) my favorite room too. I like helping my mother the cooking. My mother is a good cook, and she likes cooking very much. She often teaches me how (make) some different dishes. She lived in Sichuan she was a child, so she likes hot food and she can cook very delicious hot food.

    I love our new flat. You're welcome to visit our new flat if you are free.

    Best wishes!

Yours,

Linda

    What are the great countries in the world to travel? I will introduce some of them to you.

    Bananas are the perfect snack, because they are not only sweet and delicious, but also easy to carry around. Best of all, bananas can provide different things that the human body needs!

    Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees. The banana plants can grow as high as 30 feet (英尺).When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the plants. These lowers produce bananas.

    The plants produce fruit twice or three times each year. The bananas grow together. They seem like "hands". A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Farmers sometimes call bananas "fingers". Each bunch (串) of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 300 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.

    After about three months, farmers are ready to pick the bananas. At this point, they still aren't the sunny yellow color. Farmers pick them when they are green. When travelling to stores, they turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.

Americans love the fruit. They eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year!
