How do I like to travel?   

    Many people like to travel by plane, but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Going by plane is fast, but it takes hours to get out of the airport and go into the city.

    I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around on the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

I also like travelling by car. You can start your journey whenever you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. You can also carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

    The largest animal living on the earth is the blue whale. It weighs about 80 tons—more than 24 elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A newborn baby whale weighs as heavy as a big elephant.

    Cats can survive(存活) when they fall down from a very high place because they can keep their bodies safe. One cat fell 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little.

    A bear can run as fast as a horse.

    A newborn panda is smaller than a mouse, and weighs about 100 grams.

    Elephants are the most careful animals in their love. A male elephant may show his love to a lady for up to three years until the lady accepts his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body.

    Usually, wolves don't attack(攻击) people. And wolves don't usually go together, but they may do this in winter.

    We kids have different ways to get in touch with each other now. And1the old, they'd like to go to the market or2each other's houses, but for the young, we kids needn't follow the3of doing so.

    The4way for us to get in touch and make5 is to use the Internet services, like QQ. A lot of websites such as www.qq.com have appeared (出现) in the last few years and offered such kinds of services for free. So we can make friends6through the Internet. Maybe we do not7all these “friends” well. We add friends only how we seem cooler with more friends online.

    Then8do we kids keep in touch with friends online? We make it by sending our9to each other. At times, “friends”10 “be missing” for months without a message. Is this the friendship in the 21st century?

    Of course, using these Internet services is not just for saying “Hi, what's up?” Some of us have found long-lost classmates and friends11these websites. And at times we kill a time12a movie or get together. What's more, we kids can13our friends' favourite music when we are on the Internet.

    Believe it or not, these Internet services will be14 for a while, and it is15a convenient方便 way for us to keep in touch.
