There are four people in my family. We all like traveling(旅游). This summer we plan to go to Tibet on vacation. But we can’t decide how to get there, because we don’t agree with each other about the question. My father wants to go by plane(飞机). But my mother, my brother and I don’t agree. We don’t think taking a plane is safe, although it’s fast. My mother and I want to go by train. But my father and my brother think it’s too slow(慢的). I say to them, “Why not? A train isn’t fast, but it’s safe and cheap, and we can also enjoy many interesting things on the way.” My brother thinks it’s good to go by car. He says, “Tibet isn’t too far from our city. If we leave at six in the morning in our car, we can arrive by six in the evening.” But my parents and I think it’ll cost(花费) too much. And there may be lots of cars on the way. Can you give us a piece of good advice?

每日一读

Dear Amy,

　　Do you like animals? I do. I love to go to the zoo. I want to write about my favorite animals in the zoo. I like the pandas. They are black and white, and they look so cute. Pandas are from China. They eat bamboo leaves. I like the lions, too. They are from Africa. They are big and scary, but they're beautiful. Lions eat meat. The penguins are really interesting. The penguins come from Antarctica. They are black and white, and they live in the water. They eat fish. The elephants are interesting, too. They are very big and friendly. Elephants are from Africa. They don't live in the water, but they need a swimming pool. The tigers are from India. They are very beautiful and exciting animals. They are kind of scary, too.

Yours,

Michael
