A short video showing a member of the cleaning staff at the Summer Palace in Beijing explaining Buddhist scenic spots drew a lot of traffic on different social media platforms recently, with netizens 【小题1】(impress) by his mastery of traditional Chinese culture.

In the video, the worker, Zhang Xu, 40, explains the cultural connotations of the sites 【小题2】 several tourists, who were doing research.

【小题3】 makes it special is his recitation of a list of dozens of Buddhist sites, which are hard 【小题4】(pronounce). He speaks with 【小题5】 ease and confidence that it seems he is doing a tongue twister. People thought he must be a tour guide or expert, 【小题6】 he was wearing the uniform of a janitor and holding a broom. After his 【小题7】(explain), Zhang smiled and returned to his work as though nothing had happened. The video 【小题8】(post) by the researchers on social media platforms on Oct 7 and immediately became a trending topic online. Zhang was even given the name of “the most powerful cleaning monk” by netizens, one of the 【小题9】(character) in Louis Cha’s (金庸) novel Tianlong Babu.

Zhang said 【小题10】 never occurred to him that he’d become famous online, as he only wanted to help the tourists who seemed puzzled. Zhang joined the cleaning staff at the palace in late 2021 and walks about 40,000 steps inside the palace every day, so he knows a lot about it.

My time here in China is going well. I love my new school and classmates. Over the October holiday, my parents and I are planning to go to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Army. I’ve heard that it is an【小题1】(amaze) sight, and I can’t wait【小题2】(go). To me, the story of the Terracotta Army【小题3】(be) almost unbelievable. It’s amazing that there are more【小题4】8,000 statues, and no one in modern times knew about them until the 1970s.

We’re also planning to visit several other places in Xi’an. My dad and I are both looking forward to【小题5】 (go) to the Shaanxi History Museum, because my dad loves history【小题6】I have heard that this museum【小题7】(know) as a “Chinese treasure house”! We’re also going to the Xi’an City Wall and a few other famous【小题8】(sight).

We’re taking the train, 【小题9】 (leave)the day before the October holiday begins. We’re arriving at 9:30 a.m. and will start sightseeing right away, so I hope we sleep【小题10】(good) on the train!

I guess that’s all for now! I’ll write again soon and send photos! Do you have any plans for the coming holiday? Hope to hear from you soon.

Pollution takes away all the beauty of the beaches of Hawaii. I hate to go to the beaches on 【小题1】 (sun) weekends and see rubbish bags【小题2】 (lie) on the sand, cigarette butts (烟头) 【小题3】(bury) in the sand, and soda cans floating in the ocean.

One thing that really annoys me is 【小题4】 I see tourists who visit Hawaii leave their rubbish on the beaches. I was always taught after drinking soda to throw the can into the place 【小题5】 it should stay — the trash can. Another thing that annoys me is that some people walk right by rubbish 【小题6】 pretend that it’s not there.

The dogs or the fish are not to blame for it. It’s our fault and we must blame 【小题7】(we). Everyone has to do his or her part 【小题8】 (solve) this problem. It can’t be difficult to do the job. There are a lot of things that we can do. First of all,we can help pick up rubbish along the beaches. We could also form organisations that help clean up our beaches. More 【小题9】 (important), we need to start now before the beaches 【小题10】 (damage) beyond repair.
