综合写作:
reading passage之前:是一副照片,照片描述了一只鸟,你会发现特别之处在于他的嘴巨大个儿
reading passage:讲的是the function of the toucan birds bill
第一段讲 bill可以当武器,可以jam predator
第二段讲 他的color and shape can confusing the potential predators, 帮助这种鸟在热带地区生存
第三段讲 他的bill的面积之大,可以帮助降体温,同时羽毛可以保温
lecture:
1.那嘴look like weapon but in fact 他太脆弱了,不能起到保护作用,而且那个嘴太重,让它飞翔变得笨重,根本不能逃脱天敌。
2.自己本身爱乱叫,本来就不想confusing the potential predators
3.其他鸟没这大BILL也能很好控制体温,而且他们厚羽毛证明了是去保暖的,而且如果这BILL散热的话,晚上冷了怎么办?

The best way to learn about a foreign country is to read the newspapersand magazines from that country.
Nowadays, along with the increasingly importantinteraction between nations, people are concerning more about not only theirown country, but also foreign countries. Some people assert that readingnewspapers and magazines is the best way to learn about a foreign country.However, I can hardly agree with the claim for the reasons as following.
There is no denying that newspaper and magazinecontribute a lot to describe different landscape as well as inform us the newsand the conditions about foreign countries. Newspapers and magazines can beeasily gotten at the newsstands or convenient shops, which offer the generalpublic opportunities to learn about the global world. Also, the information onthe newspapers and magazines is selected by editors, including all thesignificant events in the country. By reading such news, people can save muchtime and meanwhile keep knowledgeable.
Nevertheless, some other ways may be more idealthan reading newspaper and magazine, such as watching TV programs and surfingthe Internet. Newspapers and magazines are both traditional media which provideabundant information about foreign countries for many years, especially twentyyears ago, when other media were not improved to become so popular.Nonetheless, the development of information and telecommunication technologymakes people able to access information easily and conveniently from TV andInternet. Without thorough examination and strict preapproval, the informationon TV and Internet is more updated and extensive. People can get the latestupdates via TV in the next minute after an incident happens. People can alsohear various voices positive and negative, about a foreign country. Thesebenefits cannot be obtained by newspapers and magazines.
Furthermore, another ideal way to learn about aforeign country is bound to be travelling. Sometimes records and views frommedia cannot reflect the real conditions of foreign countries. Instead,travelling can bring us a vivid foreign country. Before living in a foreigncountry for a while and communicating with the local inhabitants, we can hardlyknow exactly the climate, economy and culture there. For instance, we cantravel to a country to try its special foods and snacks, which have a longhistory. Also, we can visit some famous and representative historical sites toexperience the history by ourselves. Only by this way can we learn the accurateand typical characteristics about the country. Besides, it is much moreinteresting than reading newspaper and magazine. There is no doubt that beingthere is an effective and fun way to learn about a foreign country.
From what has been discussed above, we may safelydraw the conclusion that although reading newspapers and magazines is a goodway to learn about a foreign country, there are many other effective ways toknow about a foreign country. Therefore, I cannot agree with the statement thatthe best way to learn about a foreign country is to read the newspapers andmagazines from that country. (481 words)
