Your journals don't have to be long, but letting them express your feelings is the most important or exciting.
Add pictures to your journal. 4.Combining pictures with your first-hand accounts of what they represent, or what happened when they were taken, will make for(有助于)a better travel journal.

Train travel is becoming more popular. Amtrak, the US. national passenger rail company, reports that rider ship(公共交通工具的客流量) continues to grow each year. The passenger kilometres and numbers of passenger journeys are also increasing. There’s every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel prices climb.
As you plan your vacation, you’ll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel. Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high-speed trains. It’s relatively easy to book a train trip. In many countries, you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them. For single or couple travelers, travelling by train can be much less expensive than renting a car, especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行费).
However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel times and days, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long-distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight in a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive. Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty or uncomfortable, especially at busy travel times or in developing countries.
In the end, you’ll need to do some research on train ticket prices, check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.

I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning, we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!”, a word yelled out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive (印象深刻的) sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasant, unbelievable and satisfactory. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
1.When did they see the first light of the sunrise?
A.About 3 o’clock. B.About 4 o’clock.
C.Nearly 5 o’clock. D.Nearly 6 o’clock.
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.My classmates and I took a trip to Hawaii.
B.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunset.
C.I took a trip to Hawaii before I graduated.
D.Sometimes, it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A.Total. B.Terrible.
C.Cold. D.Interesting.
