Many of its excellent contributors (撰稿人) have also been honored as Scholastic Writing Awards winners. Diversion is our language publication.

Editorial positions are named in May, giving student editors the chance to attend a two-day summer meeting at NYU. This meeting allows these editors to develop their ability to work on the yearbook before the start of the school year. Work on the yearbook begins shortly thereafter, as students work to create an impressive K-12 publication under the guidance of teachers. The Trinity Times is the upper school newspaper. Students write, edit, photograph, and produce it as an after-school activity. Its contents include Arts and Innovation, Campus Life, NY Culture, Science, Opinion and Editorial, and Sports. 1.How often is Columbus published? A. Once a year. B. Once a month. C. Twice a year. D.

You can put up a tent in a park, on the beach, in the woods, or anywhere else you like, enjoying a few nights. Tent camping is a great choice for people who are new to camping because they don’t need to spend a lot of money and energy to get started. It is perfect for families with children because it creates a special time for parents and kids. Hiking Camping Hiking camping, also known as backpacking, means you will spend the whole day hiking with necessary equipment (装备) on your back. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months. It gives you the chance to get close r to nature. In case of an emergency, you’d better share your travel plans with someone. Survival Camping In this type of camping, a variety of skills are required to learn in order to survive in various outdoor conditions. You will search for food on your own in the wild and take emergency medical measures in the event of danger. It would be a good idea to have a partner with a wealth of experience in the wild. RV (野营车) Camping If you go camping in a motorhome, you will have more time to enjoy the outdoors. With a motorhome, you have almost everything at home, including comfortable beds, kitchens and entertainment. All you need is to find a suitable parking lot where you can park your car.

Do you like travelling to islands in foreign countries? If so, here are the most beautiful islands in Thailand to add to your travel list. Koh Khai Nok Koh Khai Nok is the largest of the three Khai islands between Phuket and Ko Yao Yai. Although it gets relatively few visitors, the white sands and blue waters quickly prove attractive to anyone. There’s no place for eating or living on the island, and people usually go there on their way to Koh Lipe. The postcard-worthy views, however, make the effort of getting here well worth it. Koh Phi Phi Le The smaller of the Phi Phi Islands, Koh Phi Phi Le, is uninhabited (无人居住的), and there’s no hotel or restaurant, or anything like that. That doesn’t mean it’s quiet, though. The beach was made famous by the film The Beach. With thick bushes and countless rocks behind you, the soft white sands offer surprising natural views in all directions. You will regret it if you miss it! Koh Samui Excellent shopping centers have helped to put Koh Samui on the map. Sitting on the Gulf coast of Thailand, its busy towns like Chaweng, local centers like Bophut and beautiful beaches like Silver Beach, have made Samui one of the most popular islands in the country. Koh Tao While the beaches on Koh Tao are great for sunbathing and swimming, the true beauty lies in the surrounding waters. Explorers can expect to see colourful sea life at this popular diving location. Sea animals here include barracuda, grouper, scorpion fish, clown fish, eels, coral, sea turtles and even whale sharks. 1.What does the author suggest travellers do on Koh Phi Phi Le? A. See a film.

Travelers have the opportunity to see many species of wildlife(some endangered)and over 200 types of plants per 2.5 acres while trekking (徒步旅行) through one of the oldest rainforests in the world.

A spring visit will give you a front-row look at rushing waterfalls and offer prime wildlife viewing opportunities, while a fall trip lends itself well to camping. No matter when you visit, be sure you take some time to stargaze: Jasper National Park is the second-largest dark sky preserve in the world. Guilin and Lijiang River National Park Southern China’s Guilin and Lijiang River National Park amazes visitors with its misty mountain tops and beautiful river scenes. You’ll see jagged limestone-formed karst hills, as well as impressive caves, rice terraces and cliffs across the park that have inspired Chinese legends, artists and poets throughout history. Explore by river boats for the best views of must-see sights like Elephant Trunk Hill, which is like an elephant bending over the river to drink water with its trunk, and Mural Hill, with natural frescoes that look like horses. Masai Mara National Reserve Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most popular safari parks in Africa. That’s because the Kenyan reserve plays host to the famous wildebeest migration, which takes place from July to October.

These stories are filled with magic and wisdom, each page waiting to light up your imagination. Oh, the Places You’ll Go Dr. Seuss In a world of playful creatures, the main characters start an amazing journey.

The tree is left as the remaining part, yet it is still happy, for it has spent its lifetime making the boy happy. The Velveteen Rabbit Margery Williams A velveteen rabbit is the beloved toy of a boy. The love the boy gives to the rabbit makes it wish to become “Real.” Though worn and old-looking from years of love, this very love, through the magic of a fairy, finally changes the toy into a real rabbit. The Little Engine That Could Watty Piper In a sunny world, a little engine accepts what seems like an impossible task: to pull a train over a tall mountain.
