V. 阅读理解
I was born in a small village in Vietnam (越南) . It's common for people to get married at a young age here. I almost took
that path too. But I really think this way of living is too boring. I finally chose to do something different.
After graduating (毕业) from college, I rewarded (奖励) myself with a three-day trip to Thailand. It was my first trip
abroad by myself and I felt nervous. I kept thinking about the worst things that could happen.
But the trip was totally different from what I had thought. Late on July 2, my flight arrived in Bangkok (曼谷) . That
evening became the most unforgettable moment in my life. Bangkok looked truly amazing. The electric lights gave the city a
mysterious (神秘的) look. It's very different from my hometown.
The next morning, I woke up early. I couldn't wait to travel around Bangkok. Many people say the
best way to understand a culture is to walk through the local market. So my first destination (目的地) was Chatuchak
Weekend Market (乍都乍周末市场) . It is one of the largest markets in the world. I bought lots of interesting things and tried a
lot of tasty street food there. A special part of Bangkok is its temples (寺庙) . Temples are actually everywhere in Thailand. I
visited some of the best-known ones. I lost count of the number of times my jaw (下巴) dropped when I saw a beautiful statue
or structure.
On the third day, I took the sky train to go around Bangkok. The trains were amazing. I had never seen such things in my
life. I stopped by Siam Square (暹罗广场) to do some shopping and to watch a Thai movie.
I felt hesitant (犹豫的) to fly back to Vietnam. For sure, sometime in the future, I will go back and further explore this
amazing city!
