9 . My best friend at school is Matthew Bruce, an exchange student from Australia. Matthew loves learning f    1     languages. He can speak Chinese, French and a little Japanese. He has a strong s    2     of humor as well. The jokes he tells are so funny. We are both big fans of reading. We often d    3     the books we read with each other and share different ideas. We learn a lot from the interaction (互动). Matthew is also an h    4     boy. He never lies to others. We can always believe in him. Everyone in our class t    5     him.

Last Saturday, Matthew and I visited Huaguo Mountain. We took the No. 11 bus. There wasn’t much traffic on the way and the j    6     was fun. When we arrived a    7     the mountain, we got very excited. We s    8     4 hours climbing it. It was tiring but we enjoyed o    9    . We planned to visit more places of i    10     in Lianyungang later.
