They are so delicious that it is hard for anyone to keep from enjoying! One of the places you must go is Lord Stow's Bakery—4should miss the egg tarts (蛋挞) there!

Delhi is a big business (商业) center. There are lots of stores and supermarkets. And a lot of 2 from all over the world come here to do business. Delhi is also a (n)3 center. There are many great schools with quite a few students studying in them.

New people come here every day, 4 Delhi becomes bigger and bigger. Traffic jams (交通拥堵) are very 5 in Delhi because the roads are not wide (宽阔的) enough for so many people and cars. There are always lots of people 6 the buses at bus stops.

Now people in Delhi 9 to make more roads and houses. They are trying to make the city a 10 place to live in.

Some people like to have friends who are different from them. Others like to have friends who are similar to them. What kind of friends do you want for yourself? We asked 200 students this question. Fifty-four percent of them want friends similar to them. Thirty-two percent of them want friends different from them. Other students don't care if their friends are the same or different. Here are some ideas.

I like to have friends who are like me. Both my best friend Anna and I like traveling. We went to China this summer and stayed there for five days. Next summer we will go to America. However, Anna is more outgoing than me.

— Kate

I like to have friends who are like me. It can be very helpful. I'm a little quiet and my good friend Bob is quiet, too. Sometimes I don't know what to do with my problems. He can tell me what I should do, because he knows about me better than people who are different from me.

— Jack

In my opinion, it is important to have both kinds of friends. That makes your life more interesting. I don't really care. My best friend is Carol. Carol is funny, and more outgoing than I am. But we both like doing the same things. I think differences are not important in a friendship.

Dear Mr. Smith,

My family and I recently went to San Antonio on vacation. When we got there, we decided to live in the Jumping Tiger Hotel because of its good location (位置). We stayed there from May 13th to May 17th.

We had a good time visiting the Alamo, Sea World San Antonio and other places. We liked the restaurant in your hotel. However, we were not happy with the room because it was kind of dirty.

We found hairs on the floor when we arrived, and there was rubbish (垃圾) here and there. On the second day, when we got back, we found that no one made the beds. I asked for the room service (服务), but they said they didn't have enough hands and couldn't do it on that day.

Now I don't want to complain (抱怨) about the bad room service anymore. In fact, we did pay for all the service, but no one cleaned our room. So we would like you to payback some of the money we paid. My phone number is 806-443-2342. Or, feel free to email me at vacation family@gmail.com.
