Question

【题目】Thank you very much for your letter. Your trip sounds exciting! I can’t wait【1】_______ hear what Africa is like.

Since my last letter to you, I had a little adventure 【2】_______ my own. Early this month, my mother and I took 【3】______ flight to Dunhuang, in the north-west of China. The desert out there was really quite amazing—I had never seen so much sand in my life! 【4】______ we were there, we arranged with a tour company to ride camels. I was very excited【5】_______ this was the first time I had seen one up close. We had hoped that we would get to see some other wildlife on our trip, 【6】_______ sadly we didn’t.

Since you are going to the Sahara, I have some advice-----be sure to bring a large hat and a shirt with long sleeves, 【7】______you’ll need for protection. The sun can be 【8】______brilliant that you’ll need to keep covered or you’ll get burnt-----my cheeks were so red for days after my trip.

I am sure you’ll have a nice trip. I look forward to receiving your postcards!

Best wishes
