Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day ? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it’s too crowded to do anything.
Look at the picture. It was too crowded on the Great Wall on October 1st, 2012. You even couldn’t take photos for you or your friends. All what we could see were people. It was reported that there were about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall. My friends told me they could see nothing but many people on the Great Wall. “We couldn’t walk if the people in front of us didn’t walk,” he said. He showed us a photo on the Great Wall. In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.
So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week (黄金周) any more. But other people say no about this advice. What’s your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.

Time is very important in our life. It     our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I      a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It's around my wrist with two silver bands.
I received this gift on a gray-sky day. I went to the airport a.m. to       up my uncle Ali and take him to my house. However, I was late because I was      with my friends. Later, around 11:00 a.m. I     my uncle , but he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my house. I got to my house at 2:00 p.m. and felt      of myself at that moment. After I said hello to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, "Peter, did you have      with your friends today? I answered, "Yes, Father, and I apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali." He said, "What you      was not very nice and you should feel sorry for your action." I was ashamed and said, "Father, I'll never do it again. I promise." He said, "I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a      for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is      to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really   memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting.
My small hands could    get the mail without using a key! I always could never    to see how much I was getting. Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my     . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I      going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my    with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we   up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going    the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a small  caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China       sign.

Three weeks later, I arrived home and     my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had   the post office all these years. Today I    send postcards to friends.

Making sense of how the US shows humor
Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak.
One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.
The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.
He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.
Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.
As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak.
