The following is for question 20-23.


One of the famous city in Italy is Venice. It get its popularity because Venice is a rich and
interesting city. It has a lot of history documentations and offers a lot of attractive things to visitors.
Venice has been established over 2000 years ago when waves of barbarians drove people
out of their homes in various Roman cities. Around years 800-1100 AD, Venice underwent a period
of growth, and became more centralized. It gradually developed into a city state, which is essentially
a self-governed region of a country that trades freely among others.
As Venice gradually developed, it became a prominent player in the sea trade of the time. It
was set upon by many different threats. Pirates became the hugest problem. Fewer and fewer
shipments were making it through the treacherous water. It happened when the Republic of Venice
decided to move the operations to the eastern shores.
When we think of Venice, the first thing which comes to mind are canals. They are
considered the trademark of the city. Canals are mostly recognizable for providing the main form of
transportation throughout the city. Visiting Venice brings a rich aura of history and culture. Floating
through the canals for an afternoon makes for a memorable experience, and it’s one that any traveler
commonly enjoy.

On February 8th, 2016, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because that
was Chinese New Year holiday. I didn’t celebrate the Chinese New Year as I’m not Chinese
but I guessed that it was a good time for me to get full refreshing. I was so tired to studying.
However, the unpredictable fact broke everything up.
First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning to help my mother, of
course after I prayed. Then I did the dishes, cleaned up my room, and did my bed. I was really
in danger if my mom knew that my room was messy. So, I made it as soon as possible. After
finishing everything, my aunts called me in the afternoon. I did not meet them for a long time
so we kept for hours to talk about some up to date gossips. Not long after that, my neighbor
who is also my schoolmate visited me. She asked my help to finish her homework. At last, the
time was running and the homework was successfully finished. An unpredictable moment
happened after that. To my surprised, I just remembered that I had a lot of homework too. I
got confused and regretful why I did not check it. As the consequence, I did my homework
until late night and it was hardly finished. Since then, I always check my homework before
having a holiday.
I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long ship with
my homework.

Here’s a simple checklist to follow. I’m not saying that following these rules will make your
company the next Google, but it will help.
1. Take the topic of benefits, not features. Your customers don’t care about you. They
want to know “What’s in it for me?”
2. Write your benefit like you talk it. Use regular words. Read aloud what you’ve written.
How does it sound?
3. Lose the weak words. Don’t describe how your company may, might or should help
customers but talk about how your company will.
4. Use a nice rhythm. Some sentences are long and some are short. Mix them up and keep
things interesting.
5. Re-read what you’ve done before publishing. Edit it necessarily. It’s so easy to make
mistakes which you don’t notice the first time through.

looked, and said, “Come south with me to warmer lands." Young Thumbelina flew
away on the swallow’s back. They flew across the seas and came to a land of sunshine.
The swallow said, " This is my home. You can live in one of the loveliest and biggest
flowers." When Thumbelina stepped inside, she found a handsome fairy, as tiny as her,
