Extremely tired,I got back to my hotel after the one day tour.
The amazing tour kicked off in the early morning and I made some drawings on the bus.Along the way,I saw many Duck Tours,rides on both land and sea,and they were very interesting.It was a bright day to be spent on the island called Sentosa.As soon as we got there,we took a free train to Palawan Beach which is the southernmost point to enjoy the breathtaking scenery.I took a short walk along the beach in the hope of collecting some tiny seashells.To my great disappointment,not a single seashell came into sight.Then I began looking around to see if there were some people playing beach volleyball,for I am particularly fond of volleyball and also a member of my school’s female (女子的) volleyball team.However,it saddened me that there wasn’t anyone playing the sport because of the burning sun.
In the afternoon we started our amazing adventure in Universal Studios.I once paid a visit to Universal Studios in the US,and Universal Studios Singapore is equally amazing.My favorite of all the rides we tried was the Revenge of the Mummy Roller Coaster.Although we had spent a long time waiting in line,the ride turned out to be very worthwhile.After the ride,I went to the Jurassic Park and bought a T shirt there.
Of course no trip was going to be complete without seeing the parades and shows on the streets.Few people could resist (抵抗) the cheerful atmosphere.
In a word,it was a wonderful day.

Rainbows (彩虹) are one of the most beautiful works that nature creates. __1__ If you've ever seen one, consider yourself lucky.
Rainbows can be seen when light passes through raindrops, says Kristin Calhoun, a research scientist studying the conditions of weather.
When sunlight passes through raindrops, the light bends, as it enters a droplet. As it leaves the droplet, the light separates into different wavelengths (波长). __2__ The seven colors — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet — bend in seven different directions. Red light, for example, bends in a different way than violet light. __3__ It also explains why rainbows look like an arc (弧). Sometimes, however, rainbows can actually form a circle that you can see in a plane with the right conditions.
__4__ “There is an even better chance when the sun is at a lower level, early or later in the day,” Calhoun says. And another key is to face the rain and have your back to the sun.
__5__ “Small showers and storms often form in late afternoon in this area,” Calhoun says. “These types of showers often produce heavy rain, but remain isolated (孤立的) over the center of the island.”
A.There are lots of stories relating to rainbows.
B.Rainbows are created by light through raindrops.
C.And each wavelength appears as a different color.
D.With the conditions just right, Hawaii gets lots of rainbows.
E.The best time to catch a rainbow is when it's sunny and raining.
F.But they can be seen only if you are in the right place at the right time.
G.This is why the person on the ground sees each color at a different location.
