Part 2 Reading and Writing
I. Reading comprehension.
A
Dear Zhang Hua,
Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I've been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.
Now we are staying in Bangkok (曼谷). It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to buy jewellery (珠宝) and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace, my father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.
Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it's true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy (辛辣) for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn't as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok, however, I don't eat it. You know, I'd like to try new things when I travel.
The weather here has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it's hot again.
Yours,
Mary

Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to go to any place in New York.
Public transport (交通)
In New York there's a good bus and subway (地铁) service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for ten journeys because it's cheaper. But you don't have to use public transport sometimes—there are lots of places you can go to on foot, like the Empire State Building (帝国大厦), 5th Avenue (第五大道) and Central Park. The taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is the Plaza on 5th Avenue, but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city: there are lots of smaller hotels in the YMCA near Central Park which are great for young people.
Eating Out
There are many kinds of food in New York, you shouldn't eat at McDonalds every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.
Shopping
Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the price: you have to pay a special 8% tax (税) on everything you buy in New York.
Places to see
