中国，多么美丽的一个名字。

我们以在这个伟大的国家生活而自豪。我们的人们生活快乐，我们用我们勤劳的双手建设我们的国家。在改革开放后我们国家变得越来越富有，2008年的奥运会成功主办，更标志着我们国家已经进入一个国际经济强国。

我们不会忘记，当雪灾、地震来临时，我们的战士，我们的人们，团结一心、奋勇抵抗的场景。

我们也不会忘记，我们美好的祖国河山，多彩的名胜古迹，我们的祖先伟大的四大发明，我们是炎黄子孙。

中国，我为你自豪。

After watching the film “Lost in the trip to Thailand”(泰囧), I went to the country with my best friend, Sandy. The following is my diary about the trip.
Saturday, March 24^th
We get to the hot, wet city of Bangkok(曼谷).This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean.
Tuesday, March 27^th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visit the famous market on water, and see a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we take hundreds of photos! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30^th
Our trip to Chiang Rai is long and boring. We visit a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life --- no computers or phones. They always smile and say “hello”. Sandy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
【小题1】 It seems that visitors ______ in Bangkok.
