In the UK, there is a popular route (道路) for cyclists: the road from Land’s End in England to John O’Groats in Scotland. The road is 1,407 km long. It covers almost the full length of Great Britain. The 12-year-old boy named Laurence Chandler became the youngest cyclist to finish the route.
Chandler took 20 days to finish the challenge. Each day, he cycled between 64 km to 97 km. He spent six hours on his mountain bike daily. Chandler had to push through rainy and windy days. Cycling uphill was also hard.
“It was much harder than I thought. I wasn’t expecting (预想) so many hills and how busy the roads were.” Chandler said. “But if you put your mind to anything, then no matter how big you can do it.”
Chandler first thought of trying the route when he read an article about it two years ago. Later, as his father’s 50th birthday came around, he decided to go for it. He was already used to cycling around his village and to school before starting his journey.
During his ride, Chandler raised 600 pounds for Smile Train. It is a children’s charity (慈善组织).

Last year I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for three months. I visited places of interest in the morning and took English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed in a host family in Sydney. 16 We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.
My spoken English improved greatly in Australia. 17 But in Australia I had to use it very often. I was soon able to talk with my teachers and host family in English freely. 18 You can look at it from different sides. It is beautiful to look at. I cannot sing very well, but when I was inside, I really wanted to sing.
19 Soon Christmas came, then the New Year. I had to spend the New Year without my parents. 20
I felt a little lonely. I missed them so much. In the evening, I phoned my family, when I heard their voices, I began to cry. My host mother held me in her arms and comforted me.
