I am Cathy Brown. I am now working for this Sunshine Travel Service(旅行社) in Changsha. I have just come from Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is the Pacific Ocean(太平洋) to the east of Fujian.

  Last week I took a group of French holidaymakers for a week’s trip to Taiwan. We travel all around the island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of interest. My favorite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake, there is a small island(岛屿). People call it Pearl(珍珠) Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That is why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake.

  There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is the Ali Mountain. We stayed there for three days. We also had a dance party with Gaoshan People. On our first day there we went to the mountain and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw a very beautiful sunshine(日出).

  Taiwan is a wonderful place to visit.

(    )1、Cathy went to Taiwan              .

A、 on Sunday        B、 last week        C、 the day before yesterday
