There are many bridges over the River Thames.And the Tower Bridge is the first bridge you have to pass if you go to London from the sea.It is close to the Tower of London, from which it got its name.It is a symbol of London.
The Tower Bridge was set up over the River Thames in London and opened to the public in 1894.It is one of the finest and most famous bridges in the world.It is the only bridge over the River Thames that can be raised and opened in the middle.The middle part can be raised to let the huge ships pass.It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but now it is raised only 4 to 5 times a week.If you are lucky enough to see the bridge with its two arms open high in the air, you will never forget it.
The Tower Bridge stands just on the south side of the Tower of London.People often think they are of the same age.But in fact, the Tower of London was built a thousand years ago, while the Tower Bridge only has a history of over one hundred years.
The Tower Bridge was first painted chocolate brown.Then in 1977, it was painted red, white and blue.Its picture also appeared in the opening of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games held in London.So come to visit the famous bridge.You are sure to have a wonderful experience.

Antarctica(南极洲) is in the most southern part of the world.It is like nowhere else on the earth.It is much larger than Europe, and nearly twice the size of Australia.The South Pole is at its centre.Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place in the world, even colder and windier than the North Pole.In summer, the sun shines for twenty four hours a day, but in winter it’s completely dark for about three months.Very few plants grow there, but there is some wildlife, including whales, seals, and penguins.

My Life in Cambridge
By Rob King from Toronto
I was born in Cambridge sixteen years ago.It’s a beautiful city with a very old university.There are excellent old buildings in the city centre.There is a very big park called “Midsummer Common”.There’s also a big university library and a museum called “The Fitzwilliam Museum”.
There were lots of things to do in Cambridge, with movie theaters, football clubs and basketball teams, too.I was very happy there.But there weren’t any really big street markets.London was only one hour by train, so I often went shopping in London.There were good cafes in Cambridge.My favourite cafe was Italian (意大利式的).I liked Italian coffee and food a lot!
Our house was big and comfortable.Behind the house, there was a big garden with lots of trees and there was a small lake with fish in it.It was great to play there.
This was our last home in Britain and I was there for the last time in 2020.Many of my friends are still in Cambridge.One day, I’ll go back, and I’m looking forward to seeing them again.

规则 例词
一般在词尾加-er short→shorter long→longer tall→taller
以不发音的字母e结尾的形容词直接加-r large→larger nice→nicer fine→finer
以“辅音字母+y”结尾的形容词,先变y为i,再加-er busy→busier easy→easier happy→happier
以重读闭音节结尾,且末尾只有一个辅音字母的形容词,双写该辅音字母,再加-er big→bigger hot→hotter thin→thinner wet→wetter fat→fatter sad→sadder

(5)“the+比较级+of the two”, 意为“两者中较为……的”,比较级前要加定冠词the。
