五、阅读理解
Dear Bernie,
I'm having a fantastic time visiting London. But first I'd like to tell you
something about my journey. The flight (航程) was comfortable and fast.
I arrived in London at midnight. I had dinner on the plane. I also watched
an action movie on it. But the screen was very small and the sound was
very bad. So I didn't enjoy it and didn't watch it to the end.
Also, I would like to tell you something about the man who sat next to me
on the plane. He likes taking pictures very much and showed me a lot of
his pictures. He is good at taking pictures for animals and I think he
knows all about them. He also taught me a few skills.
Yesterday I went to visit my brother who is studying in London. He took
me to one of the most famous theatres. We bought tickets for seats in the
stalls (正厅前排座位) because I wanted to see the actors clearly and hear
their voices. In the afternoon, we went to a bookstore near his school and
I bought your favourite book for you.
I'll return to New York on August 13. See you.
Yours,
Bob
