I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family. It was sunny and hot, so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel. My sister and I tried paragliding. I felt like I was a bird. It was so exciting! For lunch, we had something very special -- Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious! In the afternoon, we rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings now, but many of the old buildings are still there. In Weld Quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town.

Tuesday, July 16th
What a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top, but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train. We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people. When we got to the top, it was raining really hard. We didn't have an umbrella so we were wet and cold. It was terrible! And because of the bad weather, we couldn't see anything below. My father didn't bring enough money, so we only had one bowl of rice and some fish. The food tasted great because I was so hungry! 7月15日星期一，
今天早上，我和家人到达了马来西亚的槟城。 天气晴朗又热，所以我们决定去旅馆附近的海滩。 我和妹妹试过滑翔伞。 我觉得自己像只鸟。 太令人兴奋了！ 午餐，我们吃了很特别的东西——马来西亚黄面。 它们很好吃！ 下午，我们骑自行车去乔治城。 现在有很多新建筑，但许多老建筑还在那里。 在韦尔德码头，乔治城一个非常古老的地方，我们看到了100年前中国商人的房子。 我想知道过去这里的生活是什么样的。 我真的很喜欢在镇上散步。

7月16日，星期二，
一天的变化真是太大了！ 我爸爸和我决定今天去槟城山。 我们想走到山顶，但后来开始下起了一点雨，所以我们决定乘火车。 我们等了一个多小时的火车，因为人太多了。 当我们到达山顶时，雨下得很大。 我们没有带伞，所以又湿又冷。 太可怕了！ 因为天气不好，我们什么也看不见。 我父亲没有带足够的钱，所以我们只吃了一碗米饭和一些鱼。 食物味道很好，因为我太饿了! 问答 Did Jane have a good time on Monday? What about on Tuesday? 简星期一玩得愉快吗？星期二怎么样？

Notes on the Text

1. Central Park 中央公园（美国纽约）
 中央公园位于美国纽约中心的曼哈顿地区，是纽约最大的城市工业，四季皆有不同的美丽景致，享有纽约 “后花园” 之美称。它不仅是纽约市民的休闲胜地，也是世界著名的公园。

2. Did you buy anything special? 你买了什么特别的东西吗？
 在英语中，anything, something, nothing 和 everything 是用于指代事物的复合不定代词，与之相对应的复合不定代词 anyone, someone, no one 和 everyone（anybody, somebody, nobody 和 everybody）用于指人。与形容词连用时，形容词必须置于复合不定代词之后，语法上称作 “后置”。

例如：

I can see someone new in your group. 我看出你们小组有新人。
There’s nothing interesting in the news today. 今天的新闻里没有什么有趣的内容。

3. Penang Hill（槟城山）和 Weld Quay（海墘街）
 槟城山位于马来西亚槟城岛，距离中心城区乔治市（Georgetown）约 6 公里，它的主峰高 830 米。
 海墘街是槟城渡轮码头及其附近的一片地区，这里既有历史遗迹，也不乏现代建筑。游客可在此处观赏槟城景致、品尝特色美食。

4. What a difference a day makes! 一天的差异是多么大呀！
 这是一个感叹句，因为强调名词，所以句首用 what。

又如：

What a lovely day! 多么好的一天啊！
What nice people they are! 他们是多么好的人呀！

5. And because of the bad weather, we couldn’t see anything below. 并且因为糟糕的天气，底下的东西我们什么都看不到。
 because of 和 because 均为 “因为” 的意思，两者区别在于前者是短语介词，后者可接名词、代词或名词性成分，而后者是连词，后面接句子。

试比较：

I can’t come to your party, Denny, because I’m going away this weekend. 丹尼，我参加不了你的聚会啦，因为这个周末我外出不在。（because 之后为句子）
