Last December my mother and I 【小题1】(fly) to London. The first thing we did was to go on a bus sightseeing tour.

This is the best way to see all the sights and learn all about the history of a city. By the time the tour was over it was dark. The Christmas lights were very colorful. And 【小题2】 really impressed me was how so many people made 【小题3】(they) way home through the heavy traffic on bicycles. I was looking forward to spending the next day in Oxford Street with all its 【小题4】(amaze) shops. And what 【小题5】 experience that was! We bought a ticket for the underground and could go everywhere very quickly.

We spent all morning shopping and admiring the Christmas displays inside the shops and out in the streets. Then we went to a wax museum 【小题6】(call) Madame Tussauds (杜莎夫人蜡像馆), which had a lot of wax 【小题7】(figure) of famous people. My mother took a picture of me 【小题8】(stand) between Prince Charles and Prince Harry. From there we took a taxi to Buckingham Palace, the home of the two princes, to watch The Changing of the Guard but 【小题9】(fortunate) we couldn’t really see well as there were thousands of tourists waiting 【小题10】(take) photos of the ceremony.

No trip to Sydney is complete 【小题1】a visit to the Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. 【小题2】 , these are also some of the city’s most crowded spots, so if you want to avoid the masses, you can check out Sydney’s less-known 【小题3】(attract), too. One example is the historic fish market(the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere(半球)), which can 【小题4】(explore)on behind-the-scenes tours. 【小题5】(learn)more about the city’s most famous buildings, consider signing up for an architecture tour, such as one of the Sydney Architecture Walks, 【小题6】 focus on everything from famous structures such as the Sydney Opera House to fascinating, lesser-known districts, such as Walsh Bay Finger Wharves-an area with a number of historic 【小题7】(industry)buildings, including some of the 【小题8】(large)timber(木料)structures ever built. We also recommend a visit to Darling Square’s The Exchange, a civic(市的)center and library. This splendid building, Wrapped in wooden panels, 【小题9】(open)in late 2019. It is the first Australian project designed by Kengo Kuma, 【小题10】legendary Japanese architect.

People visit other countries for 【小题1】(vary) reasons.Some travel on business;others travel to visit interesting places 【小题2】 are only found in other countries,such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia,the temples of Thailand,or the pyramids in Egypt. 

Wherever you go,and for whatever reason,it is important to make sure of your 【小题3】(safe).A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people.While the majority of people you’ll meet when you are travelling are sure to be friendly and welcoming,there are 【小题4】(danger),theft being the most common.Just as in your home country,do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and 【小题5】(help).It is important 【小题6】 (prepare) for your trip in advance,and to be cautious while you are travelling. 

As you prepare for your trip,make sure you have the right paperwork.You don’t want 【小题7】(get) to your destination only to find you have the wrong visa,or worse.Also,make sure you travel with proper medical insurance,so that if you are sick 【小题8】 injured during your travel,you will be able to get 【小题9】(treat).If you want to drive while you are abroad,make sure you have 【小题10】 international driver’s license.
