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!
数以千计的；许许多多的
度假
Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China Maybe you fear that you won’t be able to find anything good to eat when you travel. 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. Whether you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food，you’ll find it all in Singapore!
v.害怕；惧怕
后可接名词或从句作宾语
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.
副词，“然而；可是”多置于句中，有时放于句首或句末
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!

1.... Singapore is an English-speaking country。 新加坡 是一个说英语的国家。
此处English-speaking的意思是“说英语的；
英语为母语的；使用英语的”，是由 English
和speaking两个词组成，这是英语中一种
常见的形容词构词形式，即：由名词和 动词
的-ing形式组合而成。再如：
grass-eating animals 食草动物
an apple-picking trip 一次采摘苹果之旅

population are Chinese …On the other hand,

dumplings.

whether与or连用，引导让步状语从句，意为：

（=if，一般可互换。）
whether 用法拓展：

（2）下列几种情况只能用whether：
1. 不定式前用whether不用if。
