I had been in the city for some time and was coming home. I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship. I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.

Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver, the captain’s favourite dog, for the first time. What a big dog it was! I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!

On the third day the ship caught fire. Nobody tried to put it out. The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the life-boats. I saw no chance of getting away in a boat. Suddenly I remembered there was a life-raft on the ship. I had no time to lose, so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it overboard.

In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time. When I came to, I found there was no sign of a life-boat. Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her. I was the only one who was saved.

Then I saw Gulliver was coming fast towards the raft. He struggled a long time before he managed to get onto it. I wanted to push him back into the water but did not dare to move. The dog shook himself, went to the other end of the raft and lay down. I didn’t dare to sleep that night. I must watch him. In the moonlight I could see his eyes were open. He was watching, too.

I moved from the busy downtown to the countryside around Shanghai when I started elementary school. At first, I thought I was going to hate it, but to my surprise, I found that I preferred the quiet country life over the noisy city life.

The next move was more of a surprise for me. I was having a good time with my friends at school. But all of a sudden, my mom told me that we were going to move to the United States. Can you imagine how I must have felt ?My English wasn’t that good, though I did know the basics.

The day I arrived in the US was a snowy day. For a girl who grew up in Shanghai and hadn’t seen real thick snow on the ground, it was a big thing. Compared with my school in China, there were a lot more creative thinking questions, which I was better at anyway.

Time flew by and it had been almost four years since I moved. Then again, I was told we were going to move to Singapore.

As I’m writing this article, I am still new here and have been going to school for about two and a half months. I found out that the education here is quite special. Different from AP system in the US, the Singapore CIS uses the IB system.

This switch drowned me in constant stress. I was confused about the new curriculum, and I knew it would take me a long time to adapt. But what I’ve gotten out of my experience over three countries is that no matter where you are studying, you are always learning. And a piece of advice to people who are going to move around the globe: It’s always best to just roll with it.

1.What did the writer think of life in the countryside?

A. It wasn’t as interesting as she expected.

B. It was no better than city life.

2.What did the writer worry about most about before moving to the US?

A. It would be difficult to make new friends.

B. Language would be a big problem for her.

C. She wouldn’t get used to the weather there.

D. She wouldn’t like the schools there.

3.What does she say about her school life in Singapore?

A. Creative thinking is more common.

B. Students are asked to do many projects together.

C. Students have more freedom to choose classes than in the US.

D. It is different from the US school system.

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards her worldwide schooling?

A. Positive.　　 B. Negative.

C. Critical.　　 D. Doubtful.
