2b. Read the article. How many reasons can you find for visiting Singapore?

Making Notes

After reading, write down three or

more things you have learned. We

always remember things better if

we take time to reflect.

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 its also a good place to practice your

English!

Singapore — A Place You Will Never Forget!

东南亚

四分之三 人口

对于很多中国人来说 ,这个东南亚的小岛是个非常棒的度假胜地。

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 wont 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! 也许你会担心人在国外找不到可以吃的东西。

担心

精彩的 ,优秀的

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.

但是如果你白天去参观过动物园 ,你就会发现这个动物园是多么地特别。

环境

One 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!
