When people travel in another city or country, they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is called homestay. It is a great experience because you can meet people from a different country or city and learn something new about that place.

I am Wan Li from China. I came to the UK with my friends for a short visit. We are living with an English couple, Mr and Mrs Green, in the west of London. They have a wonderful four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.

There are some shopping centers and restaurants near the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the centre of London by underground.

I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to go abroad. The local people are friendly and helpful. If you happen to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about Western culture and customs.

The year 2022 is a big year for sports in China. That’s because of the 24th Winter Olympics and the 19th Asian Games (亚运会). Hangzhou will host the 2022 Asian Games. It will be the third Chinese city to host the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010.

The first Asian Games was held in 1951. It is the largest sport event in Asia. It also means a lot to China.

The Beijing Asian Games was the first large international sports event to be hosted by China. To make the Games successful, Chinese people worked hard to prepare. Beijing built a great number of roads and gyms, including the famous Beijing Olympic Sports Center and Asian Games Village. The Games helped the world see China and its achievements (成就). And from then on, China improved its global image (国际形象).

For the 2022 Asian Games, Hangzhou started building 33 sports gyms. The themes of the Hangzhou Asian Games are “green, smart, economical (节俭的) and civilized (文明的)”. All the 19th Asian Games’ buildings will be environmentally friendly.

I come from Jinggangshan in Jiangxi. To many people, my hometown and the color red go hand in hand. It is red not just because of the red azaleas (映山红) on the mountains in spring. It is red because the CPC found a new way to lead the Chinese revolution (革命). 【小题1】
