If you want to travel to England, you can go now, without hanging or ferrying. The English Channel Tunnel, or (by its nickname) "Chunnel", allows you to travel from Paris to London by train, which takes about three hours.

In our city, we can see the influence of France in some ways. Like China, France is a famous food. Some bakeries offer French bread and cakes. Other popular products are grape juice, brandy and wine.

Many top designers in the world have French names. Many people are familiar with Dior's clothes, Chanel's perfume and Cartier jewelry. A quick walk along Nanjing Road will remind you of many similar names.

France is also a leading art and culture. Many young students come to France from different countries to study. Every year, French film festivals, exhibitions and concerts are held all over the world and many times.

If you want to have the biggest holiday in France, why not study French hard? To do this, you can go to some language schools around the city.

Hi, Millie.

Hello, I haven't seen you since last month. I heard that you went to Thailand. You went there last week, right? Are you back?

I have been in Hong Kong for two days. My parents and I are enjoying a wonderful time here. We spent a whole day in Hong Kong Disneyland. This is a very famous theme park, including four different parks-American Town Street, Tomorrow World, Fantasy World and Adventure World. I have been in Hong Kong for two days. My parents and I are enjoying a wonderful time here. We spent a whole day in Hong Kong Disneyland. this is

We went to Disney by subway. First, we took a photo in front of the whale fountain at the entrance. Then we went to the tomorrow world. In tomorrow's world, we went to Space Mountain, an attractive place. Space Mountain is a very exciting roller coaster. It runs at a high speed. Throughout the journey, we cried and laughed.

After that, we left the tomorrow world. We had lunch in a fast food restaurant, but I was not interested in eating. I want to go to a fantasy world. As soon as we finished eating, we rushed into the fantasy world. In front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, I met many Disney cartoon characters I like, such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Alice and Cinderella. Mickey and all his friends are there. I keep taking pictures because they are so cute.

In the late afternoon, when Disney characters began to parade, everyone was very excited. This is the best time of the day. Actors in different costumes waved to the crowd as they walked through the park.

John Dunther's troubles began when he and his friend Charlie walked into the leading hotel. They walked to the reception desk together. John said, "Good evening. My name is Donna. My initials are j.f. I have reserved a room here. Can I get the key? "

The waiter said, "Welcome, sir, but we are not allowed to bring pets into the hotel."

"Pets? ! "John exclaimed," Charlie is not a pet. I am blind. It's my eyes. It takes me everywhere, doesn't it, Charlie? "

Charlie gave a cry, which sounded like saying "yes".

"I'm sorry, sir," the waiter replied, "but the hotel policy is ..."

John interrupted her: "Please call the manager."

When the manager came, he immediately agreed that both John and Charlie could move in. He took them to the room himself. Before going in, John said, "Can you tell me the location of the safety exit?"

"The fifth door is counted from here." The manager said. "Thank you," said John. "Safety first, you know?" "You are too sensitive, sir." The manager said. Then he described his room to John and left.

John himself told us what happened next:

"I was very tired and went to bed. Charlie woke me up. It screamed and tugged at my blanket. I smell smoke! Fuoco! Where is it? Just then, the alarm clock rang and I walked to my door. I felt it. The surface was very hot, so I didn't open the door. Maybe the fire is outside. I got some towels wet and blocked the door.

I tried to call, but it was broken. I coughed, and a little smoke floated in through the towel, so Charlie and I lay on the ground and waited. Those minutes are as long as hours. Then I heard the sound of a fire truck, which sounded like music to me.

I opened the window, waved and shouted, and Charlie cried. After a while, I heard a voice. The fireman on the windowsill didn't want to save Charlie. He said it was against the rules. I explained to him, Charlie, a few seconds later, Charlie and I were safely outside. "

"So you saved Charlie's life!" I said.

"Yes, it saved me, too," said John. "Really, Charlie?"

Charlie gave a cry, which sounded like saying "yes".

I wish you success in the exam and progress in your study!
