Demonstration:

I am Cathy Brown. I am now working for the Sunshine Travel Service in Nanjing. I have just come back from Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is in the Pacific Ocean to the east of Fujian...

Last week I took a group of French holidaymakers for a week’s trip to Taiwan. We traveled all around the island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of the country. And there are a lot of places of interest. My favourite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake, there is a small island. People call it Pearl Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That is why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake.

Write out the meanings of the following words:

1. island ____________                                         2. Pacific Ocean _____________

3. the Sun and Moon Lake ________________

4. pearl _____________                                               5. side _______________
