Saturday, March 24th
We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is
cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in
the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited
the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables.
Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later
today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in
Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in
the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life-no computers or
phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say
"hello". Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best
way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back
next year.

Do you know how to choose a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.
Start With Your Interest. 1. . You can choose something you love to read, not for school. They can be something about cooking, computers, or fashion design.
What’s Your Type? Do you prefer fiction（小说）or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books can take you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. 2. . Many of them are interesting from beginning to end.
Read the introductions. The reviews and quotes（引语）in the book may give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you choose future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which writers praised the book. 3. .
Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age? 4. . Find out and read them, then your family can share the thoughts about the book.
Finally, you’ll probably enjoy the book much more if you find a quiet place and make time for it. 5. . But you can also play some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re reading something you love!
A. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.
B. Often, they have similar styles and you might find books you like by those writers, too.
C. Reading is a good way to improve your English.
D. Reading for fun isn’t like reading for school.
E. How about your brothers and sisters?
F. So you should read as much as possible when you are free.
G. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate on it.
