Qingqing: Wow! The Fulong International Sand Sculpture Festival is open again! Last year it collaborated with the Disney centennial celebration. The exhibition featured various Disney characters and scenes from Pixar animations. I wonder how it is this year.
Huahua: This year’s theme is “Line Friends Summer Star Party.” I heard there will be 40 artworks featuring many Line sticker characters!
Qingqing: That sounds so cool! I really want to go! How much are the tickets? Are they expensive?
Huahua: Adult tickets are $150 yuan, and discounted tickets are $75 yuan. It’s quite cheap, and definitely worth it.
Qingqing: Really! It’s incredible to see the entire beach filled with sand sculptures at this price! I must find a sunny day to go!
Huahua: It doesn’t necessarily have to be a sunny day! You might find it too hot. I heard that the sand sculptures in Fulong are sprayed with environmentally friendly glue, so even if it rains, it won’t affect the viewing experience. Just choose a comfortable weather day to go.
Qingqing: That’s awesome! I definitely want to go see it! But I’m not familiar with the transportation. How do I get there? Is it complicated?
Huahua: The Fulong Sand Sculpture Exhibition is located on Fulong Beach. You can take a train or a bus to Fulong Train Station or Fulong Tourist Center, and then it’s about a 5 to 10-minute walk to the beach.It’s not complicated at all, so you can relax and go with ease!

It’s likely that you may know someone who has had their appendix removed, or at least you’ve heard of the operation. An appendectomy is typically performed when the appendix, a small pouch next to the intestines, becomes inflamed or infected, leading to severe pain and potential complications if left untreated. Fortunately, the procedure is very safe today, and patients can go on to live normal lives without their appendix. Yet, it still begs the question of how humans can continue living without an organ. The human body is full of various parts that scientists still don’t completely understand, and
Wisdom teeth are another example of vestigial organs. Why do humans have wisdom teeth? One theory suggests that they were originally intended to help support muscles and tissues in the human face. Another theory indicates that they were initially meant to aid our ancestors in chewing certain tough foods that grew in the wild. As our diets have softened with processed foods, these teeth may become less necessary. Removing one’s wisdom teeth can feel like a rite of passage for many young adults. At some point in their late teens to early twenties, most people will have up to
Despite being thoroughly prepared for the coming exam, Sarah couldn’t stop herself from thinking about what could go wrong on test day. So, she kept studying her textbooks again and again.

Overthinking is a phenomenon in which individuals become trapped in a tangle of worries, continuously replaying past events in their mind or feeling uneasy about what the future holds.

Ford Motor Co. says it will reduce its workforce by 4,000 in Europe and the UK by the end of 2027, citing headwinds from the economy and pressure from increased competition and weaker than expected sales of electric cars.
