these buildings are worth preserving. Singapore has done
well in conservation. As a result, you can see the buildings

Singapore is my favourite holiday destination（目的地）because its environment is
better than other countries. Singapore pays attention to its environment. We can see there
are lots of trees next to the roads. Their houses are shorter than ours, so their air is better
than ours.
The most important is the sea. When we were traveling there, I didn’t see any garbage
on the beaches. The colour of the sea is light blue.
I can learn English in Singapore. I had a special experience. I couldn’t speak English
very well when I was at dinner in a restaurant but a man helped me. He was very nice.
Now I know how important English is for me and my future. I love Singapore. I can relax
there and I had a good chance to learn English.
