Module 1

When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east—the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.

After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. “Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes," he replied, "you'll get there in five minutes." Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.

Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared . The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon .

I looked down to the Colorado River ,a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon . It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It's huge !

I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself,"Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think?

Module 2

Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.

We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans (土著印第安人), taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.

We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food. We lay the table and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much. but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.

The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade(梅西感恩节大游行) . The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season. and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.
