Mona Island is a special place to spend a holiday. It is very small. The government of Puerto Rico takes care of the island and has made it a natural reserve. That means the island’s animals and plants are protected from being hurt by people. Mona Island is different from most places because only park rangers (管理员) are allowed to live there. Their job is to keep Mona Island beautiful and make sure that the land and animals are safe.
One thing that most people enjoy is getting to see the Mona Island iguana (鬣蜥蜴). Almost 2,000 iguanas live on Mona Island. People also come to the island to get a close-up view of many kinds of fish and other sea life. The water is almost transparent. Through the clear water, divers (潜水者) can see the bright colours of fish: Visitors can also explore caves (探索洞穴). Some of the caves even have paintings and drawings on the walls. After a full day of fun activities, visitors can see the stars in the huge sky. Because the island is far away from other places, it is surrounded (包围) by darkness, and the stars are easier to see.

Offer to share something or express your appreciation (表达你的欣赏) to them. 14 You can say “Do you want to sit here ” in the lunchroom.

If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. 15 The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help and pretty soon, you will have one, two, or even more friends.

So we had to spend a day seeing all the animals. However, the most unforgettable event was the bird show in Jurong Bird Park.

I thought that humans should protect birds and live in peace with them. Their existence (存在) shouldn’t be for entertaining (娱乐) humans.
Second, after spending a week visiting some places of interest in Singapore, my sister and I decided to take part in an English course. The students there had to speak English during the lessons. We thought it would be a good chance for us to improve our English. We really didn’t want to waste it. Finally, we finished the course in a week and we made great progress in our English.
The trip to Singapore was really a nice experience in my life. During the trip, I learned much about Singapore’s culture and history and I improved my English.
