About Singapore:
Singapore is a very small island just north of the equator(赤道), at the tip of the Malaysian Peninsula(马来西亚半岛). Some people have nicknamed it “The Little Red Dot” because it is so small that it often just appears as a little red dot on the map. It was originally part of the Federation of Malaysia but gained independence in 1965. It has a multi-racial(多种族的) population, with the Chinese being the largest group, followed by Malays and Indians. Singapore is home to the world’s largest observation wheel (the Singapore Flyer), the world’s largest aquarium (S.E.A. Aquarium), and the first wildlife night park (Night Safari).

Singapore — A Place You Will Never Forget!
Paragraph 1:
Have you ever been to Singapore For thousands of tourists from China, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful and safe place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of the time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!

In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem getting rice, noodles or dumplings. Singapore is also an excellent place to try new food.

Paragraph 3:
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night Singapore has a Night Safari. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark. However, if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep! A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.

Paragraph 4:
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like — spring, summer, autumn or winter. And, of course, it's not too far from China!

About two thirds of the students are going to attend the meeting.
simply adv. 仅仅；只；不过
