Have you ever been to Singapore?
Have you ever been to Singapore? For many
Chinese tourists, this small island in Southeast Asia is a
Wonderful place to take a holiday. On the one hand,
more than three quarters of the population are
Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of
time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-
speaking country, so it’s also a good place to practice
your English!

Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China?
Maybe you fear that you won’t be able to find anything
to eat in a foreign country. In Singapore, however,
you’ll find a lot of food from China; you won’t have
any problem finding rice, noodles, or dumplings.
However, if you’re feeling brave, Singapore is an
excellent place to try new food. Whether you like
Indian food, western food, or Japanese food, you’ll find
it all in Singapore if you look!也许你会担心人在国外找不到可以吃的东西。然而，如果你勇敢的话，新加坡是个品尝新事物的精彩地方。
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been
to a zoo at night? Singapore has a night zoo called the
“Night Safari”. It might seem strange to go to a zoo
when it’s dark. But if you’ve ever been to a zoo during
the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so
special. A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is
the best time to watch them. If you go to see lions,
tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they’ll probably be
asleep! At the Night Safari, you can watch these
animals in more natural environment than a normal
zoo.夜间野生动物园但是如果你白天去参观过动物园，你就会发现这个动物园是多么地特别。
One great thing about Singapore is that the
temperature is almost the same all year round. This
because the island is so close to the equator. So you can
choose to go whenever you like — spring, summer,
autumn, or winter! And, of course, it’s not too far
from China!
