Every year, many people travel to Tanzania（坦桑尼亚）to see the animals there. But do you know how they travel around?
The most common way is traveling by bus, but when people get on a bus in Tanzania, they’ll find it's different from the buses we often use. The windows are so small that the bus looks like a cage. This kind of bus is safe when people go to see dangerous animals and take pictures.
Many people like to travel by boat on the rivers or lakes. They can enjoy Tanzania’s natural beauty and see the animals in the cool water from a nearest distance(距离).
The most unusual way is traveling by hot-air balloon(热气球). A hot-air balloon starts its tour early in the morning when the sun rises. It takes visitors high into the sky and shows them the beauty of Tanzania from the air. It makes people excited (兴奋的) to take a hot-air balloon, but the trip is very expensive (贵的): 400 dollars for one person for just one hour.

What’s your favorite weather? Do you like sunny or rainy days? Many people like sunshine a lot. They don’t like rain. They think rain makes them feel sad. For a long vacation, they like going to the beach to enjoy sunshine. Sunshine can make them good and happy. I like sunshine very much, but I also like rain.
I enjoy the sound of rain. It can make me feel quiet. On rainy days, I like listening to music and doing some reading, or just looking at the rain and daydreaming (做白日梦). When you daydream, you don’t have to think about other things. I think it’s a good way to relax when it rains.
Sunshine can make one run around and rain can make one keep quiet. I hope you can feel happy no matter (无论) it rains or it’s sunny.
