Have you ever been to Disneyland?

Most of us have probably heard of Mickey

Mouse, Donald Duck, and many of their fa

mous Disney Characters. Perhaps we have e

ven seen them in movies. But have you ever

been to Disneyland? In fact, there are now f

our different Disneyland amusement parks a

round the world. Two are in the United State

s, one is in Japan, and the other is in France.

Disneyland is an amusement park, but we can also call it a theme park. It has all the normal attractions that you can find at an amusement park, but it also has a theme. The theme, of course, is Disney movies and Disney characters. For example, you can find a roller coaster in most amusement parks, but in Disneyland, the roller coaster is themed with Disney characters.

This means that you can find Disney

characters all over the roller coaster. You

can also watch Disney movies, eat in Disney

restaurants, and buy Disney gifts. And you

can see Disney characters walking around

Disneyland all the time.

Have you ever heard of a Disney Cruise?

These are huge boats that also have the

Disney theme. You can take a ride on the

boat for several days, and you can sleep and

eat on board. There are also many

attractions on board, just like any other

Disneyland . You can shop, go to Disney

parties, and eat dinner with Mickey Mouse!

The boats rides all take different routes, but

they all end up in the same place. That is

Disney’s own island.

It is just so much fun in Disneyland!

Come to the Hilltop Language School and change your life.

Here’s what two of our students said about our school.

When I was a your girl, all I

ever wanted to do was

traveling, and I decided that

the best way to do this was to

became a flight attendant. I’ve been a flight

attendant for two years now. It's a really

interesting job because I travel all over the

world. I discovered that the most important

requirement was to speak English well, so I

studied English at

the Hilltop Language School for five ye

ars before I became a flight attendant.

It was because I could speak English th

at I got the job. Thank you, Hilltop La

nguage School.

Mei Shan

I want to be a tour guide. In

fact, it's all I have ever wanted

to be. I want to travel, especially

to English-speaking countries su

ch as the United States and Australia. Ho

wever, I know that I have to improve my

English, so I've started taking lessons at t

he Hilltop Language School.

The Hilltop Language School has really

helped me learn English. I've been a stud

ent here for a year now, and I really love

it. Maybe when I leave school I'll think a

bout becoming an English teacher rather

than a our guide!

Explanation

It’s fun to learn another language.

句中 it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式 to learn another language 英语中动词和动词短语都可以做主语，这时常用动名词形式或 it 做主语，将真正的主语以动词不定式的形式放在后面，以避免主语太长而弄不清句意。如：

Eating fruit and vegetables every d

ay can keep us fit.

　 It can keep you thin and healthy to

take more exercise.

动词不定式的用法，可以充当宾语、定语、表语和除谓语外的其他成分。

To get on well with the classmates i

s important for me. 　 The most important thing is to save

lives.

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 a more natural environment than a normal zoo.

One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is 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!
