I'm Cathy Brown．I am now working for the Sunshine Travel Service in Fuzhou．I have just come back from Taiwan，the 1. l_________ island of China．It is in the Pacific Ocean(太平洋)to the east of Fujian．

2.L_________ week．I took a group of officials for a week's trip to Taiwan．We 3.t_______ a11 around the island．There are a lot of places of interest. My favorite is Sun Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you 4. f________ high up over the lake and look down from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the 5. m_______ of this lake, there is a small island that is called Pearl Island because it looks like a pearl. On one6.s_________ of Pearl Island the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That is 7. w_________ people call it the Sun Moon Lake.

There are many mountains 8. a_______ this lake. One of the nearest is Mount Ali. We stayed there for three days. We also 9. h______ a dancing party with Gaoshan people. On our first day there we went to the mountain and watched the sun going down 10. s_______ in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw the beautiful sunrise.

Taiwan is a wonderful place which is known for beautiful scenery.

Macao is only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is a part of China and most people   1   there are Chinese.

    The first Europeans to reach Macao came from Portugal. More than four   2   years ago the Portuguese went there to do business with Chinese. Some settled and   3   their homes there. They built strong forts to guard their city on the island. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city   4  . People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.

    Today, many people visit Macao. Some only go there to   5   dog-racing or motor racing or to gamble. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You   6   you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins. The church of St. Paul has only the front wall   7  steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.

    When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest   8  . When you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many   9   food. Nearby are some islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy to get to. There is certainly   10   to see and to do in Macao.
