水上公园
I love going to water parks for fun. However, many people think that water parks are bad for the environment. 1.
There is not too much drinking water in many parts of the world, so people think water shouldn't be used just for fun. 2. And there are nearly 2, 000 water parks around the world, so that's a lot of water!
Water park operators understand that they need to save water. 3. Using special filters, water parks are able to clean and reuse most of the water in their facilities.
Some indoor water parks are able to recycle as much as 97 percent of the water they use.4. Building attractions in the shade will result in less water being lost. So new designs are being created in order to keep water in the pools and prevent it from being wasted.
5. So they are not going to disappear very soon.
If you think water is wasted at water parks, think about how much more water you have wasted so far! In that case, you could argue that water parks actually help save water.
A.Water parks attract millions of people each year.
B.Outdoor water parks lose water because of the sun.
C.One solution that has been developed is to recycle water.
D.The issue is that the water parks waste water.
E.Thousands of liters of water are used every day at a single water park.

I always loved living by the sea, and I missed hearing 4. sound of the waves outside our old house. The life in the old house was the most beautiful memory in my mind.

畅游威尼斯
Well, I'm in Venice, Italy, with my family! Venice is wonderful! The city is hundreds of years old, and it's built on water. People get around on special boats called gondolas, and today I had my first gondola ride!
A gondolier controls the gondola using an oar and his own strength. The gondolier's job is to describe Venice's culture and history as he takes you through the city's canals. Our gondolier was so good at telling stories that I almost forgot I was sharing the ride with my parents.
That might sound exciting, and it was, but of course I was with... my dad. And Dad thought it would be funny to wear a striped shirt to match the gondolier's shirt. Can you say embarrassing?
My parents loved looking at the beautiful bridges, churches, and palaces along the route. I really enjoyed listening to our gondolier talk about his work. He told us that it takes years of study and practice to get the job. Who knew? He also told us that of all the gondoliers in Venice, only one is a woman! I think I need to change that! It's time to start training for my dream job! Maybe my dad will let me borrow his shirt.
Gondola Tours of Venice gave me a great tour of a beautiful city—and an interesting idea for my future career! I recommend the gondola tour to anyone who's interested in learning about unusual places and unusual jobs ... especially if they're stuck on a boat with their parents!
