Take notes
When you read a passage, sometimes it helps to take notes so that you can better remember and understand what you have learnt. When you take notes, it is good to write down the important facts just using key words and ignore many of the small words. You can also use abbreviations, such as “Aus” for “Australia” and “N” for “north”, and use symbols such as “&” for “and”.

imp important/importance ≠ differs from, is the opposite of
tho though = is / are / have / has / equals

Next week I'm travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays. I plan to
keep this blog to record my experiences and what I learn. I have already done some research
on the country. Located to the south of the equator, below many other countries on the globe,
it's often informally referred to as "down under".
I have also read about some iconic sites, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great
Ocean Road, and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. I can't wait to see all of them! However, as I major in social studies, I'm more interested in meeting people in Australia and experiencing their culture, food, and way of life.

The Great Wall
The Great wall, which looks like a huge dragon, is at the top of the seven wonders of the world. Its main attraction lies in its magnificent scenery and rich historical significance. It is a symbol for Chinese nation.
Jiaozi is the most representative food for many Chinese people, especially in the north. It is one of the most important foods in Chinese Lunar New Year. Since the shape of Chinese dumpling is similar to ancient Chinese gold, they symbolize wealth.
Tea, as an old Chinese saying goes, “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and the tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Most Chinese people like tea. Chinese people are first people in the world who have tea.Whenever guests visit, it is necessary to make and serve tea to them.
The Miao people are really good at singing and dancing. Besides, there contains ancient rich and cuture
information in Miao Costumes, which are beautifully designed.
Qipao is one of the most typical traditional costumes for Chinese women. It can display Chinese women's modesty, softness and beauty.
Pipa is one of the most popular traditional Chinese instruments with a history of over two thousand years. It can make very beautiful music .
Whatever makes an impression on the heart seems lovely in the eye.
