Let's read a passage about Singapore!
Pre-reading
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!
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!
Singapore - A Place You Will Never Forget!
While-reading
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.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close lo 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!

Language points
英语分数一般可用“基数词＋序数词”表示，其中基数词表示分子，序数词表示分母。
分子为1时，可以 one 或a；如果分子大于1，分母要用复数形式。分数作主语时，谓语的单复数形式同主语保持一致。

他递给我五分之一个蛋糕。
① He passed me a/one fifth of the cake.
② Two thirds of the students have passed the exam.
Language points
① 1/2不能说a (one) second，而要说a (one) half。
② 若它们在句子中作主语，则谓语动词是用单数还是复数取决于名词，即与分数所修饰的名词的数保持一致。 例如：
About two thirds of the students attend the meeting．
大约2/3的学生都参加了会议。
