In 2014, I was looking through a Facebook group when I spotted a post claiming $200 roundtrip tickets to Dubai, With little 【小题1】 (hesitate), I confirmed the deal, checked my calendar and 【小题2】 (book) tickets. No asking friends, no waiting 【小题3】 job approvals, and no overthinking. It would be my first trip alone.

I met Jibri during the layover. She got my attention and we started chatting about travel deals and groups. During our small talk, I considered 【小题4】 (put) my earphones back in or making up a reason to excuse 【小题5】 (I). However, I finally decided to continue interacting with the new person and see 【小题6】 it could lead, In fact, she left a deep impression on me. Not only 【小题7】 we exchange contact information to meet in Dubai, but we joined other travel group members who rented a boat for an afternoon trip.

It was totally outside of my comfort zone! Unexpectedly, I met amazing people and gained 【小题8】 (wonder) friendships. I learned 【小题9】 (trust) my abilities and instincts(直觉) even when I had to improvise(即兴做事). I learned that strangers were just friends who hadn’t met you. Most importantly, I learned that my suitcase was much 【小题10】 (light) when I didn’t fill it with fear.

Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada for a visit. During their first day, 【小题1】 is typical of Vancouver, it rained. Despite the weather, they were able to see the sights. The next morning, the two girls 【小题2】 (arise) early to take the train to Lake Louise. 【小题3】 (see) from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive. The exceptional beauty of Lake Louise literally took their breath away and they both agreed that it was the most awesome journey they【小题4】 (take). Their next stop was Edmonton. Since it can be too cold to go outside, Edmonton is home 【小题5】 many shopping malls. It was not until 9:30 a. m. 【小题6】 they finally reached the capital of Ontario, Toronto.

I came out of the railway station. It was raining 【小题1】 (heavy). Nothing was 【小题2】 (bad) than the terrible weather. It was my first visit to Hangzhou to celebrate my uncle’s 【小题3】 (fifty) birthday. I called a taxi 【小题4】 asked the driver to take me to City Square. We 【小题5】 (drive) off slowly through the rush-hour traffic. By now 【小题6】 sun was setting, I hoped to catch some of the famous 【小题7】 (place), such as the West lake or the Leifeng Pagoda.

The driver asked 【小题8】 (I), “It’s your fist time to come to Hanghou, isn’t it?” I nodded. “It will be 【小题9】 (sun) tomorrow,” he added. “That’ll be good,” I said. “I was dreaming 【小题10】 going to Qiandao Lake.”
