On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds. Some are native (当地的) toAustralia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos,koalas and crocodiles (鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages (笼子).
We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly (令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir (纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.
The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them arereally big and scary (吓人的) with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.
There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species (种类) they had. I saw an old parrot which could “talk”. It made a great impression on me.
I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.

As we know,Chinese dinner is different from the western dinner.Chinese dinner mainly shows friendship and enthusiasm(热情).People often sit and eat together around the table,drinking and laughing.But,how do you do at a western dinner?Here are some rules:
Don't circle your plate with your arms. If you do so,everyone will wonder,“Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a wrong message that you don't like the food or something like that.
Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave where it was.Do you want to let the hostess know that you've just done a labor?
Don't lean back and say “I'm full”. Just put the fork and knife across the plate.That's all.Don't cut up everything you start to eat.Cut only one or two pieces at a time.
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Don't you want to show how hungry you are?Don't do that.It's not so good.
It's never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand,simply ask the nearest person for help,like “Mrs Smith,could you pass me the dish?”

Do you have a sister?Sure,you may share your sister's hairpulling,fight over toys and schoolyard dramas(剧本)when you were kids,but even so,you probably know how lucky you are to have her in your life.Lots of studies tell us this: having a sister makes you happier.
One of the studies found that people who had at least one sister were able to deal with problems and communicate with others better.For example,when their parents say “goodbye” to each other,there were lots of bad effects on their children.If he/she has a sister,she often provides much needed help.She can look after her younger brother or sister.
So why do sisters make us happier?Women would like to talk about their emotions and lives more than men do.And when you grow up in an environment in which you're encouraged to say your problems and fears,you're likely to be better adjusted than someone raised in a boysonly family.
Lots of people grow up to be well adjusted even without a sister.But if you've got one, give her a hug—she may help you become a happy person.
