Dear Bob,

How did you spend your summer vacation? Let me tell you something about my vacation. We started our train trip to Penang in a morning and after two hours we arrived there.

I had my 15th birthday during this vacation. It was the most special birthday I had had.

My grandmother didn't go with us. So I had something new to tell her. This trip brought my family closer. I will never forget it.

Yours,

Nancy

Dear Nancy，

I'm very glad to hear from you. During this summer vacation, I went to Walt Disney World in Florida with my family. It was my favorite vacation because I spent time with my family. We visited the theme (主题) parks and had lots of fun. We also went on rides, saw many funny characters (人物) and took pictures with them. We really had a good time together.

Yours,

Bob

    In the morning，we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.

    However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o'clock，it was windy. Soon，there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide in.

    Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass showed that we went the wrong way. We had lost our way!

    We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could put up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to put up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o'clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.

    This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I've learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

    Where does Harry Potter come from? He's from the United Kingdom, an island country in Western Europe. It is an amazing country with a long history and rich culture.

    Many people think of the Queen Elizabeth II when asked what they think about the UK. Though she is a queen, she doesn't actually run the country. The royal family has little real power.

    People in the UK are proud of their literature(文学). There are many great British writers.

    William Shakespeare is probably the most famous one  His writing is over 400 years old and is a bit difficult to read. But his plays teach important values(价值观念). That's why they are so popular.

    British music, movies and TV shows are enjoyed by people all over the world. Bands like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin have had a huge influence on modern-day musicians. The James Bond films, as well as TV shows like Sherlock and Downton Abbey, are beloved by many.

Wang Xia, a 55-year-old woman from Bijie, Guizhou Province, just cycled (骑行) from Dali to Lhasa this May. It took her 24 days to finish the great trip.

In 2013, Wang started to do sports. Mostly she went hiking (徒步) or running. Four years later, she fell in love with cycling and bought a mountain bike. She often went cycling with her friends. Her first long-distance (远距离) ride happened in May 2018. She successfully cycled from Chengdu to Dunhuang with her friends. By now, she has finished five long-distance rides. Before Wang starts every long-distance ride, she does a lot of exercise for about two months.

When cycling, Wang met many problems. For example, she rode from Gansu to Xinjiang in 2019. The road conditions (条件) were bad and it was hard for her to find places to eat and stay. But that didn't stop her from cycling.

Cycling has greatly improved Wang's health. In the past, she was in bad health and easily caught a cold (感冒) every winter, but now she hardly does.

Wang's plan for the future is to live well and healthily and do what she likes. "I hope to ride to more places and see our country's beautiful mountains and rivers,"said Wang.

Alex is a young man from the US state of California. Six months ago, he weighed（重）92 kg, but now he loses 20 kg. How did he do it?

Alex is from a boxing（拳击）family — his father and two older brothers are boxers. So he started boxing, too. He began with simple exercises, like sit﹣ups and push﹣ups（俯卧撑）. He also started running. 

Months later, Alex joined a boxing club in his city. He is always the first man at the club to begin exercising, and the last to leave, with sweat（汗水）on his face. Every day he boxes for about three hours. 

"Alex works very hard, " says his coach（教练）, Hector Lopez. "It's surprising to see him lose weight so quickly. I've never met anyone like him in my 20 years of coaching. "

Alex is very happy with his weight now. There is a family photo in his room from 18 months ago. "Each time I look at the photo, I worried about myself. I was so big back then and it was easy for me to have health problems, " Alex says. "I look 100 times thinner and 1, 000 times stronger now. "
