Although it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet (西藏).Our legs were so heavy and cold that    felt like big pieces of ice. Have you     seen snowmen ride bicylces? That’s what we looked like! Along the way children who were      long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late      we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze (结冰).However, the lakes     like glass in the setting sun and loooked wonderful.

Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She was in high spirit and I knew I didn’t need to     her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we     us, we were surprised by the view. We seemed to be able to see for miles, and we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds. After a while, we began going      the mountains. It was great fun especially as it slowly became much       .At the foot of the mountains, colourful butterflies flew around us and we saw many sheep eating green grass. Then we had to      our caps, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.

In the early evening we stopped to make camp .We       our tent（帐篷）and then we ate. Afte supper Wang Wei went to sleep but I stayed       .        midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter.As I        below the stars I thought about how far we had already travelled.

We will reach Dali in Yunan Province soon, where our cousins will join us. We      hardly wait to see them!

If you have a problem with speaking, you can do several things. Listen to English as much as possible. You can learn a poem(诗) or a song by heart. You can also learn more dialogues（对话）. And practice speaking with your friends as much as you can.
Many people find it difficult to listen to English. The answer is to listen as much as you can. However, don’t do too much at one time. It is better to practice listening for five minutes every day. Don’t sit down and listen for an hour at a time. That’s too much! Do choose listening passages that are interesting and not too difficult. Choose（选择） tapes（磁带） on which the people speak clearly and not too fast. Take it easy， at first. Success with simple tapes at the beginning is the answer. Later on you can practice with tapes that are more difficult.
Finally, how can you learn to write well? How do you use little words like in, on, of and for? There are two answers to this. First, do some study with new words. Keep a list of verbs like look for, look after and so on. Second, read as much English as possible. There are many things that can’t be learnt. You must see them in books many times. Then you’ll be able to use them correctly(正确地) yourself. So, in order to write well, you must first learn to read much.
