Careful reading
①Have 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!

“thousands of+ 可数名词复数”表示约数，“数千……”
adj. 安全的 safely adv. 安全地
多于，超过 less than 少于；不足
population 前有分数或百分数修饰且作主语时谓语动词用单数或复数均可
Singapore — A Place You Will Never Forget!
on the one hand..., on the other hand… 一方面……，另一方面……
a good place to do sth. 做某事的好地方

②Have 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!
③Most 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

whether… or… 不管……还是……
It seems+adj.+to do sth. 做某事看上去……
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.
④One 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!
