2、Tanzania Tarangire is a national Park which lies in Tanzania．The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square

kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country．I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was

like．

One of the first sightings upon entering the park which I found was a

huge group of elephants．Our guide told us that Tagrangire was probably

the best place in Tanzania to find large group of elephants, and that their

population in the park was around 2,500．We continued to watch the

elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the

trees to hit the spot of an itch.

To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree! Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and

that they could live for hundreds of years．Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs (much smaller

plants or animals)! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many

Baobab trees．

As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole．Our guide warned us that there

were lions all around us．It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them are resting in the shade

under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us．We then noticed just

to our right, there were a couple of fresh zebra bodies — it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them!

We were unlucky not to have seen the kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra bodies were fresh and the kill

had happened within the last hour．

Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We stopped at a place where

there were quite a many cars, with a sleeping leopard（美洲豹）there! We took photos and watched its surprising body

before returning to our hotel as it was getting late．

So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel

route．（401）

3、 “USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors,

studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier

to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning
