it's not worth visiting
1.
First-tier cities in China are pretty developed.They are literally concrete jungles.
Skyscrapers are everywhere and a kid will surely get lost when he enters any of them.
2.
I have an awful impression of this city because littles are all over the place and the walls of the historical constructions are full of graffiti.
3.
Many elderly from cities move to rural areas because they cannot take polluted areas.
They went to take a break and see more nature outlooks and spend time in green outdoor spaces.
4.
Hongkong is a shopper's paradise not only because of the wide array of stores but also the relatively cheaper prices of branded items.

1.It is located in south Zhejiang Province.
2.It is renowned for warm weather and beautiful Oujiang River.
3.There are a number of places of interest such as Nanxi River and Yandang Mountain.
4.I would highly recommend visiting Nanxi River,it is a very clear river that you can almost see every fish or stone in the river.
4.I almost go swimming in the Nanxi River every month when I was in middle school, it is also very shallow and safe.
4.I even think the water in the Nanxi River is a little sweet,I am not sure whether this is my illusion.Maybe it is true.
4.Anyway, I just have very deep feelings for the Nanxi River.
5.The local facilities are pretty good such as the newly-built parks.
5.There is a small park near my house,actually very few people go to this park.
5.Because there are just only a few trees and a small pavilion in the park.
5.When I was in primary school,everyday I back from school,I went to this park to finish my assignments because it is quite.
5.I am pretty enjoy that time.
6.The thing I like the most is Jiangxin Island.
6.It is a small island in the Oujiang River.
6.It is really worth visiting.
6.I have been there for maybe 20 times.
6.Everyyear when my friends and me can not decide where to go, there must be someone say,let's go Jiangxin Island.
6.Ok,we went to there again.
7.The thing I like the least is Wenruitang River,it is a long river that go through the whole city.
7.Actually I usually play water in the river before,but now the pollution of the river is so serious.
7.I just hope someday the government will solve the pollution problem.
7.I remember there used to be a lot of people go swimming in the river,but now it is impossible.

How was your day?
I get up early today, so I feel very sleepy, I try to sleep in the afternoon, but I just cannot fall asleep.And I did some reading exercises and listening exercises.
You know,these days I have been under a lot of pressure.I try to spend all my time on the English,but when I sit in front of books,I just feel tired and restless.
I just hope I can pass the IELTS and get a good score.
After that I will have a long holiday and I will play computer games and maybe go traveling.
Where are you from teacher?
If that university do not accept me, I will go to the Cardiff University.
I do not know if i can get used to the foreign life.I am a little afraid and a little nervous.
But I still want to try, and another thing is I am not sure if I can graduate on time, if i cannot graduate on time I have to spend more money, maybe I cannot afford it.
So maybe I can go abroad but I cannot come back.

Five years from now, I hope that the construction of my dream home will start and I imagine its style to be contemporary.
I don't fancy traditional style because I would like it to be full of mod-cons.
Anyway, I would love it to be in a picturesque setting.
If I got lucky enough to afford a house in such a location.
I would have superb sea views.
However, I don't want it to be roomy and spacious.
Because I plan to stay single for life what important is it's cozy and comfortable.

I've been here for ten years.I want to change my job.It's time for me to move on.
I bought a new house.I'm hoping to move in sometime next month.
When I went to university, I moved out and lived in university accommodation.
Some young people want to move out from their parents' house.
My dream house is already completed, so I can finally move in anytime I want.
I guess, it's time for us to move on.
The unlucky families moved away from that city and lived in the near city.
It would be located in a stunningly beautiful coastal area.
It would be a two-storey house with lots of outbuildings for a gym, a library and guest acommodation.
There would be a lawn and a lot of mature trees.
Obviously, it would be have a swimming pool.Ideally, I'd love an infinity pool.

其实我经常会想像自己拥有一座梦想的房子.几乎每天晚上都会想.因为其实房子和车子算是人们比较高的物质需求.现代的几乎每一个人都在追求房子和车子,好像有了房子和车子才算是有了一个家.
我经常想像我的房子在一座小岛上,坐5分钟的船就可以到达这座小岛,然后这座小岛是圆形的,四周全是沙滩,然后我的房子就在沙滩的边上,然后小岛的中间全是森林,所以我的房子前面就是大海,后面是森林.
Actually I often image I can have a dream house,almost every night when I lay on the bed, I will image that i am rich and own a big house.
The houses and cars are higher material needs for people.Nowadays almost every one pursue a house and a car.It’s like only if you have a house and a car, you have a family.
I always image my dream house can be on an island, it takes about 5 minutes by ship from land can reach the island.This island is round and surrounded by beautiful beach.My dream house is near the beach.The middle of the island is all forest so in front of my house is the sea, and behind it is the forest.This is my dream house.
我的房子最好是2层楼,楼下要放一张台球桌和一张乒乓球桌,楼上是卧室
My house should be two-storey,there are a pool table and a table tennis table down stairs.and upstairs is the bedroom.
我还要一个很大的浴缸和一台很大的电视
