24、A number of amazing plants grow in the nature world, including bamboo. Many people prefer to call it a tree because of its shape and size. In fact, it is a kind of grass.

Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant which grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo which grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原).

Not all bamboo looks the same. Some are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in a variety of colors, from gold to black to green.

Bamboo has been used to make many things, such day-to-day items as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo can also be used to build buildings.

Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building and supporting new buildings while they are being built. The cables(缆绳) which hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan, China are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and it is still holding strong.

As we know, pandas feed on the plant of bamboo. But not all the bamboos fill their appetite(胃口); only about 20 kinds of them can be their fine food.

25、 My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to visit Ireland and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming and memorable” don’t even describe what Ireland is. Our favourites were Kilkenny, Cobh and Killarney. We did a self-driver tour.

We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors(祖先) came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.

It was so exciting to see the little village of Cobh and know it was the last stop for the Titanic(a famous ship) at that time. We loved the visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.

We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon. I was so thankful for my uncle who had given me the chance to be there.

I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.
