With a continuous 1,300 kilometer-long coastline and beautiful beaches, Wales is a popular holiday destination in the United Kingdom. Most Welsh people live in south Wales in the capital city, Cardiff, and two other big cities: Swansea and Newport.

Language

The official languages of Wales are English and Welsh, and "Wenglish" is a Welsh-English dialect. Everyone speaks English, but if you go to school in Wales you have to learn Welsh until you are 16. Street signs are written in Welsh and English, and villages, towns and cities have an English name and a Welsh name. The Welsh language is one of the oldest languages in Europe and around 20 percent of people in Wales speak Welsh.

Sports

The Welsh enjoy watching and playing sports, especially rugby and football. The modern Millennium Stadium in Cardiff can hold 74,500 people and is where you go if you want to watch a football or rugby match or a concert.

Water sports are popular in Wales. You can go surfing or wakeboarding. If you like unusual sports, visit the small town of Llanwrtyd Wells. Every year in this town there is a man versus horse marathon and a bog snorkeling competition.

Food

There are lots of sheep in Wales, so people eat a lot of lamb. Typical Welsh dishes include "cawl", which is lamb stew, sausages and "rarebit", which is a type of cheese on toast. There are also Welsh cakes, which are small, sweet, round cakes with dried raisins inside.

Symbols

If you ever go to Wales, you will see dragons everywhere; red dragons are a symbol of Wales. Other symbols include the leek (a long, green vegetable) and the daffodil.

People often ask me for advice on how to learn English. Everyone is different. I'll share some of my experience. I once learned English in Beijing University, but I mostly learned English on my own.

One thing I can tell is that, once you've started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. When you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about "how would I say them in English?" At first, it will be with simple words or word groups, but later you should think about bigger phrases and word groups. Now I'm in America, and for most time, I just think in English and speak it directly. It's amazing how much this helps.

For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of trying to speak English with others because I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally I got over it. And while traveling in America, I tried to hang out with friends who speak no Chinese, so I have no choice but to speak English. I wasn't afraid to make mistakes and I don't mind others laughing at me. My English started improving more quickly after that.

It may be a good idea to ask any of your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and give you some advice.

One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

I was frightened. But then I couldn't believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn't believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital."

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Rubbish Truck." He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray for those who don't.

During the outbreak, watching TV shows has become the most popular activity, according to a survey by Chinese market research company Guideline Research. The survey also points out that people have many ways to watch shows apart from cable TV. They include smartphones, computers, and tablets.

It's true that TV is not usually watched on an actual TV anymore. Technology has not only changed where but also how we watch TV.

Streaming(流媒体) networks, rather than live TV, have helped viewers watch their favorite shows when it's most convenient for them. In the US, content providers like Netflix and Amazon Prime keep people entertained. Users can choose which services offer the shows and movies they like.

Binge-watching(刷剧) has become a new trend due to some companies releasing entire seasons at once. Without having to wait for next week's episode(集), viewers can watch the whole season in a day, or at whatever pace(速度) they choose. Netflix has also released a choose-your-own-adventure movie, where your choices can affect how the story ends, an idea not possible before with traditional TV.

User-generated(用户创造的) content apps like TikTok are also blurring(模糊)the lines of what is considered TV. This may be the biggest change to the TV landscape, as anyone can compete with professional, big-budget(大制作的) TV shows. This trend shows no sign of slowing down.

One morning, the door opened and a new teacher, Mrs Cosby, walked in. She looked too 1 to handle us. And we surely gave her a 2 time, but she never lost her temper. And then came the last day of the first month. She 3 a bunch of papers. We feared the worst — a test. But oh no, it was something that 4 surprised us.

Mrs Cosby asked us to come to the front of the class, and gave each of us a 5, in which she had written what the student in question had been 6 at during the last month.

You see no one had ever 7 us. No one ever liked us. We were constantly told how good-for-nothing we were. And here, 8, was someone who had been 9 us closely for a month. We made things as difficult for her as we could. And yet she could find something 10 to say about each of us.

Mrs Cosby did this every 11 from then on. Each month we got a paper that emphasized our 12. She commented on my courage, how punctual I was, how good to 13 arguments if I wanted. Her 14 influenced our class. We did not want to 15 her feelings anymore. We actually started to 16.

At the graduation ceremony, Mrs Cosby hugged us and told us with tears in her eyes how 17 she was of us. Then she 18 each one of us a book. All the encouraging letters through the years wee there, in hard covers.

She said, "I want you each to keep this book and if you feel 19, open this and read how good you are. You can be anything you want to be 20 you believe in yourself. Promise me you'll remember that!"

In order to observe Tibetan antelopes, we are here on the Tibet plain. We can see snow-covered mountains  (appear) into clouds which seem almost close enough to touch. In front of us, we can just make out a herd of Tibetan antelopes, moving  (slow) across the green grass. Though struck by their  (beautiful), I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They  (hunt), illegally, for their valuable fur.

Between the 1980s and 1990s, the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped  more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes  (make) profits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.

In order to save this species from  (extinct), measure were taken to protect them, which proved to be very  (effect). In June 2015, Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered list.

Looking at the stars in the evening, I think about the antelopes and  Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being  threat to wildlife and to our planet.
