[01:01.47]Here is Linda's letter to her mother about the trip.
[01:06.82]October 25th Dear Mom
[01:11.99]I am having a wonderful time here.
[01:15.83]I went to some very interesting places.
[01:20.59]Kitty's teacher Mr Wu invited me to join their school trip to the World Park.
[01:29.13]It was a great day but we did not enjoy it at the beginning.
[01:35.50]Yesterday morning Mr Wu and the other students met Kitty and me at the school gate.
[01:44.33]Then we got on a coach.The trip from Kitty's school took about two hours by coach.
[01:52.80]It was boring.There was a lot of traffic on the city roads
[01:59.25]but it got better when we were on the highway.
[02:04.42]Kitty and I felt sick for most of the trip.
[02:09.99]Finally,we arrived at the World Park.
[02:14.53]The sky was blue and everything was beautiful.
[02:19.57]We became very excited when we saw the Eiffel Tower from the coach!
[02:26.73]It is made of metal and really tall.
[02:31.59]When the coach stopped.We all got off quickly.
[02:37.15]Kitty and I did not feel sick any more.
[02:41.72]We just wanted to go into the park and enjoy ourselves.
[02:47.78]Soon.We were inside.The whole world was there in front of us!
[02:54.45]There are over a hundred places of interest from all over the world.
[03:01.50]They are small but wonderful.
[03:05.36]The pyramids looked just like the real ones in Egypt.
[03:11.43]The Golden Gate Bridge looked just like the one back home too.
[03:17.88]When I saw them.I couldn't believe my eyes.They were wonderful.
[03:23.91]It was an amazing day but the best part was the song and dance parade.
[03:31.04]The music was great and Kitty wanted to join in the dancing.
[03:37.21]You can see some photos of the trip on the Internet.
[03:42.46]Kitty's classmate Daniel taught himself how to make a home page.
[03:49.22]He put his photos on it for everyone to look at.
[03:54.55]Go and see for yourself! Love Linda

[06:16.74]I'm afraid that's not a good idea.She went there yesterday.
[06:23.50]Well,we could go to the Palace Museum.
[06:28.75]Yes,that's a good idea,but it's very expensive.
[06:35.23]I'd like to go to the Temple of Heaven.
[06:39.60]Sure.Why don't we go to Beijing Amusement park too?
[06:45.86]What a great idea!Let's go to the Temple to Heaven
