His hopes for success were dashed again and again, however. Hollywood just did not seem interested. But Larry refused to admit that his chances of getting into movies were practically nil. Someday, he tol d himself, his big opportunity would come.To keep body and soul together, Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood’s big restaurants. The pay was basic but since the guests were quite generous with th eir tips, he managed to make a living.One day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot and get ting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was making a new picture. Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. Then he sto pped, jumped out and ran over to the director. “Excuse me, sir, but I think it’s only fa ir to tell you that it’s now or never if you want me in your new picture. A lot of big co mpanies are after me.”Fascinated by Larry’s abrupt statement, the director stopped. “Yes? Which companie s?”“Well,” replied the would-be star, “there’s the telephone company, the gas compan y, and the electric company, to mention only a few.”The director laughed, then scribbled something on a card and handed it to the young man. “Come and see me tomorrow.”Larry got a small part in the director’s next film. He was on his way!1 . Dream One: to become a scientistWork in a laboratory, conduct experiments, do research, make an invention, make a discovery, improve people’s lives, make the world a better place2. Dream Two: to become a pop singerfamous singer, give a performance, entertain people, communicate with the audienc e, dream of becoming, sing to people, different parts of the world, give a show, be br oadcast on the radio and TV, records and CDs, sell well3. Dream Three: to own a large house with many stories and rooms, by the sea, a gar den in the front and at the back, trees and lawns, have a good view, live with thosewhom I love, keep pets, grow flowers, have a swimming pool, exercise to keep fit, a l ong lifeDreams and AmbitionI am sure everybody that still live in this world had their own ambition .For example, what is the dream of a fat ladies or men? Of course is to slim their body .How about a poor man. I thought he'll always said this:" I will be rich one day soon! "But most of them never try to make their dream come true. They just wait and wish for it just as they believe in the movie," Liar, Liar ". Only a wish of a child, get his father into a big trouble and be together again with his mother. I thought work hard was the most suitable idea to make your dream come true. I have my own ambition like everybody.I want to be a writer but my language is worse. Therefore, I work hard to improve my language. I try everything for my dream, my ambition. But sometimes, we had to think before we do something .We may asked for advice from the person who had more experience. If we do everything we want without consider, we might get trouble if that is illegal. Another example, a person wanted to ern more money in a short while. He sold drugs to reach what he had been dreaming of .Is that the right way to be rich? No! He is using the innocent. He had destroyed the future of the teenager that still don't know about he's trap. This is really not the right way to get anything. You have to sacrifice for everything thing you want. Not by using anything as a stepping stone. After all, that I had written thought we must chase our ambition, our dream, but not by the bad way.例二:Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this worldSo much so that you tend to live in your head most of the timeYou have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult.You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.Most people have ambitions. My ambition is to be a computer games player.I also want to be a computer systems engineer. This is an interesting work.I know, if I want to be a good engineer, I must study hard and have a wide range of knowledge. I must also have a good control of English. This is a good and helpful tool.I play VB sometimes. I won a computer competition price with two friedns of mine last year! We made a good picture of the product—Pentium 4. In the picture,there is a huge handholding a colorful sign of Pentium 4 and pointing into the sky. So we won the third price. I like it very much. It's very important to me and I'm very serious.性格PersonalityEvery one has a different personality. I have an optimistic personality and I always do everything happily. But not every one finds this easy. When I meet people like this, I usually advise them to see the school councilor. There are reasons why everyone's personality is so different. If your parents love you and care about you, then your personality will be healthy and happy. If your parents don't, then your personality could sad and withdrawn. A person's personality determines his or her future. So if you come across someone who is often worried, you can try and help them or tell them to seek help from a councilor.When we talk about those famous people, we all like to know how they succeed. Meanwhile we all admire their personal special virtues which lead them to triumph. And it is obvious that many successful people have some personality characteristics in common. As far as I concerned, I deem that persistence, prudence, confidence and courage are the most important.当我们在谈论那些名人的时候，我们都想知道他们是如何取得成功的。

ATate Modern,London,UKTogether with three other Tate museums, Tate Modern located in London is a national museum of international modern art. It is one of the largest museums of modern and contemporary art in the world. Most of the exhibit items are open to the public for free,only charging for major temporary(临时的) exhibitions.The Louvre,Paris,FranceIt is the world's largest and most visited art museum and a historical landmark of Paris. Housed in the Louvre Palace,the museum has been added to many times since its opening in 1793. Its glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Chinese American architect Ieoh Ming Pei,and it later became a signature design of the museum, appearing in the hit thriller The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.National Museum of China, Beijing, ChinaNear Tiananmen Square in Beijing, it's one of the largest museums in the world and the second-most visited art museum in the world, just after the Louvre. Covering a time span from the Yuanmou Man of 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty, the museum houses around 1.05 million items—many cannot be found in museums elsewhere.State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, RussiaThe State Hermitage Museum is the second-largest art museum in the world. The public can visit five of the main buildings:Winter Palace, Small Hermitage, Old Hermitage, New Hermitage and Hermitage Theatre.Frequently seen in pop culture, it often appears as a setting for films, TV series, novels and even video games.1.Tate Modern, London, UK is attractive partly in that .A.it is a national museum with three branchesB.entry to most of its exhibitions is free of chargeC.its exhibitions range from ancient art to modern artD.visitors can purchase some wonderful exhibit items2.What do we know about the Louvre?A.It often serves as a setting for films.B.It stays the same as it was when first built.C.It is the most visited art museum in the world.D.It was designed by a Chinese American architect.3.Which museum displays unique items from the Yuanmou Man?A.Tate Modern, London, UK.B.The Louvre, Paris, France.C.National Museum of China, Beijing, China.D.State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.BI turned 8 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high?Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled at a book—it was Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises —and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn't bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates (侨民).I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role—as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student—in the worldno longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed in something I loved.Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway's language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous effect.4.Why did the author skip school on that day?A.Because her parents left home early.B.Because it was a biting cold winter morning.C.Because she was fascinated by a novel.D.Because she was anxious to take the exam.5.What did the author think is the source of true joy?A.Reading fiction by the fire.B.Traveling with a bunch of expatriates.C.Breaking the rules and regulations.D.Being occupied by one's passion.6.Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph?A.Entering.B.Destroying.C.Mending.D.Blocking.7.What can we infer from the passage?A.The author was tired of her roles in real life.B.Writing has a horrible effect on the author's life now.C.The author often skipped school when she was 8 years old.D.Becoming a writer is the author's childhood dream.CArtist Zsudayka Nzinga Terrell clearly remembers the day in high school when the teacher asked her to write about her family history. She saw that it was impossible to answer the questions “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?”Nzinga Terrell told VOA about her childhood memories. “So the white kids were able to get up and talk about hundreds of years of their background. And there was me and one other black kid in the class who could go back to a plantation in Virginia and that's it.” She talked about her family's history. “My people were brought here at the bottom of a ship. And they were sold and they were re-named. My dad's side of the family took the last name from the job that they had, which is Butler. My mom's side of the family took the last name from the plantation that owned them.”Today, she and her husband, artist James Terrell, explore that identity in their work. Their new exhibit of paintings is called “Born at the Bottom of the Ship.” The show recently opened at the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virginia.Over the generations, Africans became African Americans with a new culture, and Nzinga Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art. There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make you think of American culture and clothing.James Terrell's style is more abstract. Mami Wata, the first painting visitors see in the new exhibit, shows a woman rising from the ocean. Terrell explains the painting, “Mami Wata is a goddess of the sea... There's no light going through; there's not a lot of color being seen, as opposed to the other ones. So, it's just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”But the artist says he also likes to play with color. Growing up, Terrell attended a church with colored glass in many windows. Because of that experience, he learned how light goes through the windows. He makes lines in his painting that look like the lines between pieces of colored glass in the church windows.Terrell's works show how he sees himself as an African American. Visitors to the art exhibit say they see themselves and their family members in the works.8.Young Nzinga Terrell's memory of her family history can date back to .A.the time when slaves were sold and re-namedB.the time when she was born at the bottom of a shipC.the time when the black slaves were brought to AmericaD.the time when her family worked on a plantation in Virginia9.How did Nzinga Terrell's father get his family name?A.It was named after a plantation.B.It was named after their owner's name.C.It was named after the job the family did.D.It was named long ago after a place in Africa.10.What's the painting Mami Wata like?A.It's typical of native American style.B.It reflects a dark time of the black slaves.C.It's abstract with rich and bright colors.D.It describes a church James once attended.11.How does the visitors probably feel seeing Terrell's works?A.Strange.B.Curious.C.Depressed.D.Moved.DJason Barnes is a young musician who lives in Georgia. Eight years ago, Jason lost his right arm just below his elbow in an accident. Jason got a prosthetic (假体的) arm. But this arm could only do a few things. Jason still wanted to play music. So he went to see Gil Weinberg, who makes musical robots. To play the piano, Jason needed five fingers that could move just the way he wanted. This was a big challenge.Living arms move when muscles respond to commands from the brain. When you think “open fingers”, your brain sends electrical signals along nerves. Some prosthetic arms use sensors (传感器) to try to read these nerve signals. But they don't work very well. Nerves are tiny, and their signals are faint. Sensors might be able to tell that you want to move a finger. But they aren't very good at telling which finger you want to move.Jason doesn't have his hand anymore, but he still has the arm muscles that move his fingers. When Jason thinks about moving his fingers, those muscles stillmove. To read the muscles inside Jason's arm, the team used ultrasound (超声波). The roboticists taught a computer to read the ultrasound sensor as Jason thought about moving his fingers. The computer learned which muscles moved when Jason wanted his fingers to move in a certain way. Thinking about moving his fingers makes the muscles in his upper arm move. The computer sees the moving muscles and tells the motors in Jason's robotic fingers to move the right way.The team hopes the “Skywalker hand”, their prosthesis, will someday work as well as a real hand. The sensors, motors, and computers inside the hand are not complex. But they need to get smaller and cheaper before lots of these hands can be made. Weinberg and his team are working on this right now. Soon, they hope that anyone who loses a hand will be able to get a new robotic one with five fingers that they can move just by thinking.12.Why did Jason visit Weinberg?A.To save his own life.B.To learn to play music.C.To study musical robots.D.To replace his prosthetic arm.13.What does the underlined word “faint” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Specific.B.Weak.C.Stable.D.Predictable.14.What makes the invention of the robotic hand possible?A.Moving muscles are simpler to spot than nerves.B.Nerve searching techniques have developed fast.C.Ultrasound sensors vary from finger to finger.D.Motors are much quicker to operate.15.What do Weinberg and his team expect of the “Skywalker hand”?A.It'll be easy to make.B.It'll be customer-friendly.C.It'll be better than real hands.D.It'll be controlled by computers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
【旅游英语：Hollywood英语介绍】旅游英语
【旅游英语：Hollywood英语介绍】旅游英语旅游英语：Hollywood英语介绍旅游英语：Hollywood英语介绍导语：好莱坞(Hollywood)，又称荷里活，位于美国西海岸加利福尼亚州洛杉矶郊外，依山傍水，景色宜人。
“好莱坞”一词往往直接用来指美国的电影工业，由于美国许多著名电影公司设立于此，故经常被与美国电影和影星联系起来，好莱坞是世界闻名的电影中心，每年在此举办的奥斯卡颁奖典礼则是世界电影的盛会。
If a single place-name encapsulates the LA dream of glamor，money and overnight success，it“s Hollywood. Millions of tourists arrive on pilgrimages;millions more flock here in pursuit of riches and glory. Hollywood is a weird combination of insatiable optimism and total despair. It really does blur the edges of fact and fiction，simply because so much seems possible and yet so little，for most people，actually is. Those who do strike it rich here get out as soon as they can，just as they always have;the big film companies，too，long ago relocated well away，leaving Hollywood in isolation，with prostitution，drug dealing and seedy bookstores as the reality behind the fantasy. Central Hollywood The myths，magic，fable and fantasy splattered throughout the few short blocks of Central Hollywood would put a medieval fairytale to shame. A rich sense of nostalgia pervades the area，giving it an appeal no measure of tourists or souvenir postcard stands can diminish. Although you“re much more likely to find a porno theater than spot a real star，the decline which blighted Hollywood from the early 1960s is fast receding. Nevertheless the place still gets hairy afterdark，with adolescents cruising Hollywood Boulevard in customized cars and occasional petty criminals on the prowl for the odd pocketbook. The natural place to begin exploring Hollywood Boulevard is the junction of Hollywood and Vine the classic location for budding stars to be "spotted" by big-shot directors and whisked off to fame and fortune. At 6608 Hollywood Blvd，the purple and pink Frederick"s of Hollywood has been (under-) clothing Hollywood"s sex goddesses since 1947，as well as mortal bodies all over the world via mail order. Inside，the lingerie museum (free) displays some of the company"s best corsets，bras and panties，donated by happy big-name wearers ranging from Lana Turner to Cher. A little further on，the Egyptian Theater at no. 6708 was financed by impresario Sid Grauman，in a modest attempt to re-create the Temple of Thebes. The very first Hollywood premiere (Robin Hood) took place here in 1922. Now owned bythe city，Grauman"s Thebes is currently closed for renovations as part of a three-year plan to restore the fake mummies and hieroglyphics of this temple of cinema to their former glory and remake the theater into a center for film study. No Hollywood visitor will want to miss the mundane yet magical foot and hand prints in the concrete concourse of the 1927 Chinese Theatre at 6925 Hollywood Blvd. Actress Norma Talmadge (supposedly by accident) trod in wet cement while visiting the construction site，and the practice has continued ever since，starting with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Sr，at the opening of King of Kings，and recently involving stars such as Al Pacino. Through the halcyon decades，this was the spot for movie first-nights. As for the building，it"s an odd western version of a classical Chinese temple，replete with dodgy Chinese motifs and upturned dragon tail flanks. The Roosevelt Hotel opposite was movieland"s first luxury hotel，its Cinegrillrestaurant hosting the likes of W C Fields and F Scott Fitzgerald，not to mention hangers-on like Ronald Reagan. In 1929 the first Oscars were presented here，beginning the long tradition of Hollywood rewarding itself in the absence of honors from elsewhere. Despite the beliefs of some of their loopiest fans，even the biggest Hollywood stars have been mortal;the many LA cemeteries that hold their tombs get at least as many visitors as the city"s museums. In the southeast corner of the Hollywood Memorial Cemetery，near Santa Monica Boulevard and Gower Street，a mausoleum contains the resting place of Rudolph Valentino，the celebrated screen lover who died aged just 31 in 1926. To this day on each anniversary of his passing (August 23)，at least one "Lady in Black" as his posthumous devotees are known will likely be found mourning. The achingly ostentatious memorial to Douglas Fairbanks Sr，who with his wife Mary Pickford did much to introduce social snobbery among movie-making people，is just outside. Also on view are the graves of Hollywood"s more recently deceased inhabitants：an increasingly large population of Russian and Armenian immigrants. Griffith Park The gentle greenery and rugged mountain slopes that make up vast Griffith Park northeast of Hollywood (daily 5am10.30pm，mountain roads close at dusk;free) are a welcome escape from the mind-numbing hubbub of the city. The landmark Observatory (TuesFri 210pm，SatSun 12.3010pm;free) here has been seen in innumerable Hollywood films，most famously Rebel Without a Cause，and the surrounding acres add up to the largest municipal park in the country，one of the few places where LA"s multitude of racial and social groups at least go throughthe motions of mixing together.Above the landscaped flat sections，the hillsides are rough and wild，marked only by foot and bridle paths，leading into desolate but appealingly unspoiled terrain that gives great views over the LA basin and out to the ocean，provided the city smog isn"t too thick. One way to explore is on a rented bike from Woody"s Bicycle World，3157 Los Feliz Blvd (213/661-6665)，a short distance away. The park is safe enough by day，but its reputation for after-dark violence is well founded. Hollywood Hills The views from the Hollywood Hills take in a bizarre assortment of opulent properties. Around these canyons and slopes，which run from Hollywood itself into Benedict Canyon above Beverly Hills，mansions are so commonplace that only the half-dozen fully blown castles (at least，Hollywood-style castles) really stand out. On Mulholland Drive are Rudolph Valentino"s extravagant Falcon Lair and Errol Flynn"s Mulholland House;down Benedict Canyon is the former home of actress Sharon Tate，one of the victims of the Manson Family. Guided tours can point out which is which，but for the most part you can"t get close to the most elaborate dwellings anyway，and none is open to the public. From more or less anywhere in Hollywood，you can see the Hollywood Sign，erected as a property advertisement in 1923 (when it spelt "Hollywoodland";the "land" was removed in 1949)。

Unit 9 Hollywood 课文翻译 综合教程一
Hollywood suggests glamour, a place where the young star-struck teenagers could, with a bit of luck, fulfill their dreams. Hollywood suggests luxurious houses with vast palm-fringed swimming pools. Cocktail bars and furnishings fit for a millionaire. And the big movie stars were millionaires. Many spent their fortunes on yachts, Rolls Royces and diamonds. A few of them lost their glamour quite suddenly and were left with nothing but emptiness and colossal debts.Movies were first made in Hollywood before World War Ⅰ. The constant sunshine and mild climate of southern California made it an ideal site for shooting motion pictures. Hollywood's fame and fortune reached its peak in the 1930s and 1940s, the golden days of the black and white movies. Most of the famous motion picture corporations of those days, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Columbia and Warner Brothers are still very much in business and great stars like Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Charlie Chaplin, Gary Cooper, and many others besides, have become immortal.In those days Hollywood was like a magnet, drawing ambitious young men and women from all over the world. Most of them had only their good looks to recommend them and had no acting experience—or ability—whatsoever. Occasionally they got jobs, if they were lucky enough to be noticed. Gray Cooper was one of the few who was noticed. He started as a stunt rider, and from there rose to be one of the great stars of the early Westerns. Many of the girls got jobs in cafes or gas stations, and as they served their customers they tossed their heads and swung their hips, hoping to attract the attention of some important person connected with the movies. Most of them hoped in vain.As for the stars themselves, they were held on a tight rein by the studio chiefs who could make or break all but the stars with really big appeal. The stars were "persuaded" to sign seven-year contracts, during which time the studios built up their images. Under their contracts the stars did not have their right to choose their parts. Their studios decided everything.No country in the world has developed so expertly the skill of advertising as the Americans. They advertise everything, from ice cream to candidates for the Presidency. The Hollywood studios, by means of advertising, turned starlets into superstars. Many studio chiefs were tyrants, determined to get their own way at all costs, no matter how unscrupulous the means.Stars were often typecast and if he or she appealed to the public as a lover, then he or she always played the part of a lover. A star who was a hit as a cowboy or a bad guy, got the same kind of role again and again. There was little arguing, "you're the perfect dumb blond, baby, and that's how you're going to stay," they would say. They even tried to interfere in their stars' private lives: "No, sugar! You just can't marry Mel Billigan. He's too intellectual. He'd destroy your image." Only when they ceased to be stars did some of them discover that they were also goodactors! Movie stars like Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy and James Mason gave distinguished performances in character parts as well as leading roles. Hollywood is no longer the heart of the world's motion picture industry. Most movies today are filmed on location, that is to say, in the cities, in the countryside and in any part of the world that the script demands. The Hollywood studios are still standing, but most of them have been leased to television networks. About 80% of all American TV entertainment comes from Hollywood.Yet Hollywood has not lost all its glamour. Movie stars still live there, or in neighboring Beverley Hills, and so do many of the famous and wealthy people who have made their homes in southern California. There is also the attractive Hollywood Bowl, The huge outdoor amphitheater where every summer since 1922 "Symphonies under the Stars" are played by America's best orchestras before packed audiences.Hollywood, above all, has the glamour of the past. It is a name which will always be associated with motion-picture making, and for many years to come the old Hollywood movies will be shown again and again in movie houses and television screens all over the world.好莱坞好莱坞意味着魅力，是那些怀揣明星梦的少男少女们有点儿运气就能实现他们梦想的地方。

娱乐美联英语 布兰切特：别人想侮辱我时就叫我好莱坞女演员
小编给你一个美联英语官方免费试听课申请链接：/test/waijiao.aspx?tid=16-73675-0美联英语提供：娱乐英语布兰切特：别人想侮辱我时就叫我好莱坞女演员It was Cate Blanchett’s second time climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. She couldn’t really say why she wanted to do it, or what it is about heights that appeals to her. She has no interest in skydiving or bungee jumping or parachuting. She’s not especially sporty or athletic. It’s not thrills she likes; it’s control. She once drove her children to the edge of Mount Yasur, an active volcano on the island of Tanna.这是凯特·布兰切特第二次爬上悉尼海港大桥(Sydney Harbour Bridge)。
她说不上来自己为何这样做，也不知道攀高的吸引力从何而来。
她对跳伞或蹦极没什么兴趣，也不是特别健壮或富有运动细胞。
她想要的不是刺激，而是控制。
她有次开车载着孩子直至亚苏尔火山(Mount Yasur)的边缘。
这是一座位于塔纳岛(Tanna)的活火山。
“It was fantastic to be able to say, I’m deciding to do this,”she said. “I’m deciding the level of safety for my children without someone telling me what to do.”“能理直气壮地说，我就决定要这么做，这种感觉太棒了，”她说。

The Significance of Lifelong EducationDecades ago， due to the low standard of living in China, only a sm all percentage of the nation's population could receive college educ ation. Once given the opportunity, one would surely secure a well-p aid and much—respected job， which he or she would probably do for a lifetime. Therefore， to secure a college degree used to be th e ultimate goal of a person's education。
Today, however， we are living in what is called a "knowledge socie ty”， where creative ideas and innovations are generated at a fanta stic speed。
One must constantly renew one’s knowledge and upgr ade one’s skills so as to meet the needs of the changing world. Mor eover, at the stage of general education， it is pointless for a perso n to attempt to know everything。
When one is required to settle down to be a specialist in a specific field, one has to make an in-dep th study of the subject one is supposed to know。

It's in a state called California, which is in the country of the United States of America. The United States is a really big country with 50 states!Los Angeles is often called L.A. for short. It's one of the biggest cities in the whole United States. Lots and lots of people live there - over 4 million! That's more people than live in my whole state. The city takes up a huge area of land in Southern California.The Weather is Really NiceOne of the best things about Los Angeles is the weather. It's sunny and warm pretty much all year long! The summers can get really hot, but it's still a dry heat. And even in the winters, it's mild compared to other places. They hardly ever get snow in L.A.! People can go to the beach any time they want.There are lots of pretty beaches in and around Los Angeles. Some of the most famous ones are Santa Monica Beach, Venice Beach, Malibu Beach, and Huntington Beach. People love to swim, surf, sunbathe, and just hang out at the beaches. The Pacific Ocean has really nice blue water and good waves for surfing too.Fun Places to GoLos Angeles has lots of fun places to go and things to do. One of the most popular places is Disneyland! Disneyland is a huge theme park with rides, shows, characters, and lots of magical Disney things. It's in the city of Anaheim, which is right next to L.A. I went there once and it was amazing!Another super cool place is the Santa Monica Pier. It's a long pier or boardwalk that goes out over the ocean with an amusement park, games, shops, restaurants and more right on it. You can ride a ferris wheel, play games to win prizes, and eat all kinds of fun foods like cotton candy, churros, and funnel cakes.Universal Studios is a movie studio and theme park all in one place. You can go on rides based on popular movies and TV shows. There are also shows, tours where you can see real movie sets, and even a real working movie studio!The La Brea Tar Pits are a really neat place in the middle of the city. Thousands of years ago, plants and animals got stuck in the natural tar pits there and their fossils are preserved. You can see life-sized models of mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and other prehistoric creatures!Hollywood is maybe the most famous part of L.A. That's where all the big movie studios, TV studios, the Walk of Fame, and the iconic Hollywood sign are located. You might spot a celebrity if you go there!Food and CultureThere are people from all over the world living in Los Angeles. That means you can find amazing food from pretty much every culture! Some of the most popular are Mexican food, Korean BBQ, sushi, and food from all different regions of China.Los Angeles has dozens of cool museums too. The Getty Museum has a huge art collection and beautiful gardens with an amazing view. The California Science Center has hands-on science exhibits that are really fun. La Brea Tar Pits has a museum about prehistoric animals and Ice Age fossils.There's also the Hollywood Wax Museum with wax statues of celebrities, the Grammy Museum for music lovers, and museumsfor different cultures like Japanese, Korean, Mexican, and more. L.A. really has museums for every interest!Sports TeamsLos Angeles has a lot of major league sports teams that people love to watch. For basketball, there are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers. For baseball, there are the Los Angeles Dodgers. And for hockey, there are the Los Angeles Kings.The city has also hosted the Olympics twice - in 1932 and 1984! Maybe it will host them again one day. People in L.A. sure do love their sports.Getting AroundLos Angeles is a massive sprawling city, so a lot of people drive cars to get around. The traffic can get really bad during rush hours though! There are also buses, a metro train system, and taxis that people use.Some parts of the city, like Santa Monica and Long Beach, have their own smaller train and bus systems too. And there's even a subway in the downtown area. But a lot of Angelenos, which is what L.A. residents are called, prefer to drive their own cars.That's my introduction to the big, sunny, and exciting city of Los Angeles! It's a place with beautiful weather, amazing beaches, super fun attractions, cool museums, yummy food, and passionate sports fans. I'd love to visit again someday. Let me know if you have any other questions!篇2Los Angeles Is a Cool Place!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about Los Angeles. It's a big city in California where I live with my mom, dad, and little sister. Los Angeles is really cool and there are so many fun things to do there!First of all, Los Angeles has the best weather. It's sunny and warm pretty much every day of the year. We hardly ever get snow or really cold temperatures. My friends who live in other parts of the country are always jealous when I tell them I can go to the beach in the middle of winter!Speaking of beaches, the beaches in Los Angeles are amazing. My favorite is Santa Monica Beach. You can play in the ocean, build sandcastles, or just lay out and work on your tan. There's also the Santa Monica Pier which has an awesomecarnival with rides, games, and lots of yummy food like cotton candy, funnel cakes, and hot dogs.Another really cool place in LA is Griffith Observatory. It's an observatory up on a hill that has some of the best views of the entire city. You can see the famous Hollywood Sign from there. At night, they have telescopes you can look through to see planets, stars, and other cool space stuff. They also have a planetarium show that teaches you about the universe.Of course, you can't talk about LA without mentioning Hollywood! That's where all the big movie studios are and where they have big premieres with all the celebrities walking down the red carpet. You can go to the TCL Chinese Theater and see the handprints and footprints of famous actors in the cement. The Walk of Fame has stars on the sidewalk for tons of famous people too. Sometimes if you're really lucky, you might even see a movie being filmed on the streets!Downtown LA is full of tall skyscrapers and has some really awesome museums. My favorite is the California Science Center - they have an actual space shuttle on display that you can go inside! The La Brea Tar Pits are downtown too and they have tons of fossils from creatures that got stuck in the tar thousands of years ago.The different areas of LA all have their own cool vibes. Santa Monica is laid-back with a beach town feel. Hollywood is flashy and exciting. Downtown is modern with huge buildings. And areas like Venice Beach are funky and artistic with street performers and vendors selling crafts.Los Angeles has people from all over the world living here, which makes the city's food scene incredible. You can find pretty much any type of cuisine you can imagine - Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Italian, you name it. Some of my favorites are the Korean BBQ restaurants and the food trucks that serve amazing tacos and burritos.With so many people living here, LA does have some downsides too. The traffic can be absolutely horrible with tons of cars on the freeway at all hours. And housing prices are crazy expensive, even for small apartments. But those are small prices to pay for getting to live in such an exciting, vibrant city!In conclusion, Los Angeles is unlike any other place. With beautiful sunny weather, amazing beaches, cool tourist attractions, a mix of unique neighborhoods, and some of the best food in the world, it's a city that truly has something for everyone.

丑闻话题l英语口语
丑闻话题l英语口语You know what? Scandals are like a hot mess that just grabs everyone's attention, and when it comes to talking about them in English, it's a whole different ball game.I remember once, there was this big Hollywood scandal. All my friends and I were chatting about it. One friend was like, "Oh my god, can you believe what that actor did?" And another one chimed in, "It's just nuts! How could he be so stupid?" See, when scandals break out, it's like a bomb going off in the entertainment world, and everyone has something to say.Talking about scandals in English is not just about gossiping. It's also a great way to improve your vocabulary. For example, when we talk about a financial scandal, words like "embezzlement", "fraud", and "corruption" come up. It's like opening a treasure chest of new words. You don't get to use these words every day in normal conversations, but when scandals happen, bam! There they are.And let's not forget the scandals in the political arena. I was at a party once, and this guy started talking about a political scandal. He was all worked up, saying, "That politician is as crooked as a dog'shind leg!" Everyone around was like, "Yeah, you're right!" Political scandals can be so complex, but talking about them in English gives you a chance to practice expressing your opinions clearly. You might say, "I think that politician should be held accountable for his actions." Or "What he did was completely unethical."But here's the thing. While scandals are juicy topics, we also have to be careful. It's not cool to spread false rumors. I had an argument with someone who was just making up stuff about a scandal. I told him, "Hey, you can't just say things without any proof. That's not right." Just like you can't go around yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there's no fire.In the end, scandals are part of our world, and talking about them in English can be both fun and educational. It gives us a chance to connect with others, share our thoughts, and learn new things. So don't be shy about diving into a scandal - related English conversation. Just make sure you're being fair and honest.My conclusion is that scandals are like a double - edged sword when it comes to English speaking. They can be great for language learning and social interaction, but we need to approach them withintegrity.。
