    When the Titanic was built, she was the largest ship in the world. It had taken 50,000 men two years to build her. She was 269 metres long and as high as an eleven storey building. She was huge! In fact, the word "titanic" is often used to describe something which is "very powerful, strong, important or large".

    It was built because of increased tourists travel between North America and Europe. The Titanic was like a floating palace. Everything about her was beautiful and comfortable. She was also impossible to sink or that's what everyone thought.

    The Titanic left Southampton on the south coast of England for New York on 10 April, 1912. She stopped first in France and then in Ireland before setting off across the Atlantic Ocean. There were 1,632 passengers on board; 907 crew members(船员) looked after them.

    Four days after leaving Southampton, the Titanic's captain received not one but four icebergs(冰山) warnings.

    Icebergs are very dangerous for ships- only 10% of an iceberg can be seen above the water. But the water was clear and the captain decided to continue without reducing the ship's speed. At 11:40 p.m. the ship hit an iceberg, which cut a hole about 100 metres long underwater. The passengers were not told, but the Titanic could not survive this terrible damage.

    It was dark and freezing cold. The ship was filled with water. There was no time to waste. Women and children were told to climb into the ship's lifeboats. But there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. Finally, at 2:20 a.m. the Titanic sank to the bottom of the sea. 916 passengers and 673 crew members died in the icy water.

The traffic in the countryside is not convenient that in the city.

    The story of Robinson Crusoe is known all over the world. The story is about the life of a real person. His name was Alexander Selkirk.

    Selkirk was born in 1676 in Scotland. His father made shoes and clothes, but Alexander didn't want to work in his father's shop. He wanted to sail a ship on the sea.

    When Selkirk was 28 years old, he was sailing on the Pacific Ocean. The ship was in a bad state. Selkirk was worried. "This ship is not safe!" he thought. He told the captain that he wanted to get off. The captain didn't like Selkirk, so he agreed. The ship took Selkirk to a small island.

    Selkirk took a few things from the ship: a gun, an axe, and a few clothes. Then the ship left, and Selkirk was alone. There were no people or houses on the island. He was more than 600 kilometres from the nearest country, Chile.

    He found a cave near the beach and this became his home for the first few months. In the day time, he had to leave the cave and find some food. He usually ate fish and other small sea animals. At night, he heard strange noises from the trees. He thought that there were wild animals on the island that could hurt him. He was afraid and didn't want to leave for the beach. He stayed in his cave. He was very lonely.

    One day, when he woke up，he saw hundreds of sea lions on the beach. He couldn't get to the sea, so he couldn't catch any fish. He had to look for food on another part of the island. He was still afraid of the wild animals, but he was hungry! He had to go out in order not to be hungry.
