[16] Describe a place in your country that you think would be interesting to visit. You should say: Whereabouts it is When would be a good time to visit! What is interesting to do there

Ok, thank you. I want to choose a place you may be familiar with, and that's the Three Gorges, located between Wanxian and a city called Yichang, the gateway to the upper Yangtze River. You can get to them by going to Chongqing and taking the boat along the Yangtze River all the way to Wuhan if you like.

The best time to go there is during the fall, because it's not so hot on the boat, and that way if you want to spend more time in Chongqing or in Wuhan you can, because those cities can be quite unbearable during the summers. The Three Gorges are breathtaking-there isn't much out there that can beat the feeling of being walled in by such beauty. The thing that's so interesting about the Three Gorges is the sheer walls and sharp rocks along the side, and the historic tablets along the way. But even without looking up at these imp1;'essive rock formations, the river itself, with all its various rapids, is interesting. You know, it isn't easy for small boats to travel either down or up it.

I guess I've chosen this place because it won't be around for very much longer, and because it will soon all be flooded over. I think you know about the new dam being built. The dramatic scenery and rushing waters of China's greatest river has been the inspiration of China's painters and poets. It's now considered to be one of the great scenic attractions of China.

Describe a shop, shopping center or market that you like to go to. You should say: Where it is When you usually go there What the store sells and what you usually buy there And explain why you choose this shop rather than others. I would like to talk about my favourite shopping center, since I don't go to many restaurants or bars. My favourite shopping place in Xi'an is called Huajie Street. It is just a narrow alley running besides the Great Mosque with many small souvenir and antique shops.

It's a very good place just to do some browsing, and is one of the best places in China to pick up souvenirs like name chops or chiming steel balls. I always go there to do some shopping for old things and antiques. Usually if I go it will be on a weekday, because it's not as crowded and you can bargain more easily. Another reason I like it is because you can fmd some of the best miniature wire furniture. I don't know if you've ever seen these things, but they are made quite carefully and skilfully, and they look very nice in a living room.

Why is it my favourite? To me there's nothing like it in other places. Some of the stuff is quite overpriced because they get a lot of tourists coming in, but a local person like me, with a distinguishable accent from this area, can usually cut to the chase and get to the realistic price in a

hurry. It never seems to amaze me what kinds of old things they find to sell there. You almost feel as if you are walking around a museum. I know a lot of it might be fake, but to me it doesn't matter, because when you look at it, you think of the past. I have bought some stuff there before, and when I put it in my house it always becomes a conversation piece with my guests. They always tell me I could get these things cheaper elsewhere, but the truth is that you may not find it at other places, except perhaps by chance.

[18] Describe a place you used to like to go when you were a child. You should say: Which place it was Why you went there What some features of this place were And explain what effect the place had on you. When I was younger I used to go to the Datong Jiche Chang, which is the Datong Locomotive Factory. It's located in the city's southwestern outskirts. It was the last factory to make steam engines for the main railway lines, and in 1989 it stopped making them and switched to diesels and electric lines.

Well, it wasn't the factory that I went to see but the museum that they had there-actually I think they still have it there if I'm not mistaken. I used to go with my father and spend hours there. To me it was more interesting than a playground. Sometimes some mends would join me there but my father was not always as happy when my friends were there because we tended to get a bit noisy.

You see, the museum has several locomotive trains in there, and if you love trains this place is heaven. The main feature of this place is that you can see these trains inside and out, and it's a place that does a good job explaining the features of the trains. What I really used to love is that I could get a ride in the cabin of one of these locomotives and pretend I was a passenger touring the country.

Well besides helping my imagination I think the main effect this place had was to give me some escape from home life which wasn't that great at that time. Also, it gave me a chance to play with my father and learn more about trains. I was so full of questions that my father would have to go to the library just to learn more about trains, especially old locomotives like the ones that were there.

[19] Describe a mountain, beach, lake or waterfall that you like a lot. You should say: Which part of the country it is in How to get there Some descriptions of the scenery and what you can do there And explain why you like it so much.

Right, well, as my topic I chose a mountain that I like. This mountain is not famous, and it's located just north of Jinan. It is not the famous Taishan Mountain. In fact it's quite far away from that area. The mountain is called Black Bird and it is not high. To get there you must drive off a small road on the way to Taian and head right. It goes quite some length, and the condition of the road is not very good.

The mountain is simply a cliff that sticks out …… 此处隐藏：6304字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
