Hawaii, the Aloha State1 Hawaii is sometimes called “the Aloha State.” Aloha is a word in the Hawaiian language meaning love and peace. It is often used as a way to say “hello” or “goodbye.” Hawaii is like the world aloha, because it is a state that has two viewpoints: it remembers its history and looks toward the future.2  Hawaii is a U.S. state made up of a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is made up of eight large islands and over 100 other smaller islands. It is the only state that is not in North America. The islands were formed by volcanoes that erupted(爆发) and rose above the ocean. There are still active volcanoes in Hawaii.3 Because of its location, Hawaii has a tropical climate. It is warm, but usually not hot, all year long. Rarely does the temperature drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏温度)，although it may occasionally snow at the top of some of the mountains.4 Once called the Sandwich Islands by Europeans, Hawaii is thought to have been settled by ancient sailors from other islands in the Pacific. The British explorer Captain Cook was thought to be the first European to find the islands in 1778. Because of its location, Hawaii became a frequent stop for European traders and ships. Hawaii was an independent country before it became part of the United States in 1893. It was governed by either a king or a queen. It is one of the only four U.S states to have been a country before statehood. It was admitted into the Union in 1959 as the 50th state.5 Today Hawaii is important as a vacation destination. Each ear over 6 million people visit Hawaii to enjoy the beaches, the beautiful oceans, and the historical Hawaii culture. Come and visit Hawaii.

Surfing①Surfing is something people often get attracted after trying it a few times. For many surfers it is much more than a hobby-they would probably agree with the American professional surfer Kelly Slater when he said, “Once you’re in, you’re in. there’s no getting out”②“Surfing”, of course refers to riding on ocean waves using a surfboard. Many surfers stand up on their boards, which requires good balance and is therefore difficult for most beginners to learn, but some lie down and “body board”.③The history of surfing probably began with the Polynesian people of the Pacific Islands. One of the first white people to see anyone surfing was the British explorer Captain Cook, when his trip arrived in Hawaii in 1778. He watched many Hawaii riding waves on large pieces of wood, and reported that, “Surfing seems to give them a feeling of great pleasure.”④When surfing started to become popular in the United States in the 1950s and 60s, suffers used large wooden boards(often more than three meters long) that were quite heavy. Boards today are shorter and also much lighter, because they are made of artificial materials instead of wood. For anyone who wants to try surfing, the only essentials are waves and board. There are a few other things, however, that most surfers find feet stick to the board, and a wetsuit to help them keep warm in cold water.⑤Surfing has been a professional sport for many years and the very best surfers are able to make a living from it. Most of the best professional surfers in the last 30 years, both men and women, have been American or Australian, but surfers from Brazil, Peru, and South Africa have also won important competitions.Paragraph 1A: Tools of surfingB: History of surfingC: An attractive sportD: A professional sportE: Advantages of surfingF: Techniques of surfing
