There is a holiday next week and I can't decide what to do. I have a lot of work to do 1 and this would be a good chance (机会) 2 . But I don't like 3 the holiday in such a way. I can work at home all the rest of the year. Last year I went 4 to the mountains. 5 there was beautiful, but it is too cold this time of a year. And it's really 6 far to go for a short holiday. I decide 7 this isn't a good time to 8 the mountains. But I 9 to go somewhere else.

　　Perhaps this would be a good chance to go to the beach (海滨). I like to go for walks 10 the seashore 11 the warm sunshine and watch the water. It's only eight miles away and I could get there 12 about two hours. After thinking it 13 , I am sure that this is a 14 time for the seashore than 15 .

　　Oh, here is a letter 16 Jim. He 17 he is going to his house in the mountains for the 18 , and he 19 me to go with him. 20 giving it some more thought, I wrote back to Jim and thanked him for that.
