Travel sportlight: Paris
For your next vacation .Why not consider visting Paris ? Paris is the capital of
Fance and is one of the liveliest cities in Europe .It doesn't have any beaches or
mountains, but there are still many things to do there .For example , it has some
fantastic sights ,including the Effel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral,one of the most
famous churches in the world .
Travel around Paris by taxi can cost a lot of money ,but it's usually convenient
to take the underground train to most places . In general ,though ,France is quite
an expensive place .One ting that is not expensive in France ,however ,is the wine !
Most people have learned English .But many people don't like to speak English ,
especially in Paris .So unless you speak French yourself ,it's best to travel with
somone who can translate things for you.

I’d love to sail across the Pacific .
We all dream about things that we would like to do and things
we hope to achieve in the future .But are everybody’s dreams
the same ? Here are some of the findings of survey about hopes
and dreams ,in which thousands of students across China took
part .
What are the hopes of teenagers?
We recived several different answers to the question:what would you like to do after finishing your education ?It’s seems
some students would like to start work as soon as possible ,
so that they can help provide better lives for their parents.
Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university.Although money is important
many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy .According
to the survey , the most popular chioce of job is computer
programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers?
Teenagers have all kinds of dreams .Some are more realistic
than others .For example ,many students said they would like
to be volunteer at the 2008 Olympics,maybe working as translators or tour guides .And quite a few said the dream of going to the moonone day.
According to the survey ,less realistic dreams are aslo common,
but many students reported that they were willing to work
hard to achieve their dreams .Quite a few dream of becoming
famous, perhaps famous sportspeopleor singers .Some said they’d love to go on exciting trips;one student said she’d love
to sail across the Pacific Ocean .And then there are dreams
that are impossible ;three students said they’d like to be able fly!
Conclusion
It has clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes .It seems that most students hope to have a good education And find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very
different things; good things ,and even crazy things. It is very important to dream ,so hold on to your dreams ; one day they may just come true.
