They walked for a long time. they got to the top of the mountain.
Many people are afraid of taking risks. Me too. Girls in my village usually get married at a young age, but I think this way of living is too boring. I finally chose to do something different- to take some risks.
After leaving school, I gave myself a different present -- a three-day trip to Thailand (泰国). It was my first trip to another country and I kept thinking about the worst things that could happen.
But the trip was very different from what I thought. Late on July 2, the plane arrived in Bangkok, the capital of the country. That evening became the most unforgettable moment in my life. Bangkok looked truly wonderful. The lights gave the city a fantastic look. It's very different from my hometown.
The next morning, I woke up early. I couldn't wait to visit Bangkok. Many people say the best way to understand a culture is to . So I did that first. I found lots of interesting things and tried different kinds of tasty street food at Chatuchak Market.
Bangkok is also famous for its temples(寺庙). There're temples everywhere. I visited some of the best-known ones. I was so surprised when I saw these special and beautiful buildings.
On the third day, I took the sky train to go through Bangkok. The trains were excellent. I had never seen such things in my life. I stopped by Siam Square to do some shopping and to watch a Thai movie.
After flying back home, I started changing in many ways of my life. For sure, I will go back and further visit this exciting city next time!
Bicycles in China
Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to school, shops and anywhere else. Therefore(因此), China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.
Compared(与……比) with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can't afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What's more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.
However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don't obey the traffic rules and some riders don't think about others' safety. So they ride too fast. During rush hours, too many bicycles may cause traffic jams. We still have a long way to go to solve the problem.
—OK.
Dragon Dance(舞龙) is a kind of traditional dance in Chinese culture. It has been spread all over China and to the whole world.
Traditionally, dragons were made of wood and cloth. However, in the modern times, dragons are much lighter because they are made of lighter materials like plastic. The length(长度) of dragons can be from around 25 to 35 metres for acrobatic(杂技) models, and up to 50 to 70 metres for the largest parade(游行) styles because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring. A small organization cannot run a very long dragon because it requires great human power, much money and special skills.
The Dragon Dance itself began during the Han Dynasty. And it was started by the Chinese who had shown great respect towards the dragon. It was already a popular event during the Song Dynasty. At that time, it became a popular activity like the Lion Dance. People could often see it during some important festivals. In the Qing Dynasty, the Dragon Dance Team of Fuzhou was invited to put on a show in Beijing. And the emperor(黄帝) spoke highly of it. The emperors of ancient China thought of themselves as the dragons.
