If you are ever in Connecticut, you need to be sure to take the family to Lake Compounce Theme Park. The park lies in Bristol, Connecticut. It has been opened since 1846 and is known as America's oldest park.

    In October, they open the park for an event called Haunted Graveyard which is open at night. The rates are $ 34.99 for regular tickets, $ 25.99 for kids and $17.99 for those over the age of 60. If you go before 5: 00 p. m., you only pay $17.99.Kids under the age of three are free and parking is $8.00.

    The rides at the theme park are so much fun. The ride liked by all is the Boomerang with the top speed of over 45 miles per hour. The drop on this ride is 125 feet. Another popular ride is the Pirate Ship. These two rides are great for thrill seekers because you actually feel as if you were falling out of your seat.

    The park also has plenty of water rides for those who love water fun, such as water guns and water slides. Lights Out is a fast water slide that is all in the dark. It goes around what looks like a lighthouse. Besides the rides, the park also has fun shows for the whole family. They have a great show and a cool circus. There are also some great places to eat at the park.

    You can stop at the entrance to get a map first. You won't be able to visit the whole park in a day so you should have your family choose what you want to and have fun!

    Some people choose to live in a flat share. Others can't imagine 1 their perfect flats to live with other people.

    If you live alone, you take care of your own space. You have the advantage of being able to 2 the environment. If you like it cool, no heating arguments. You don't have to 3 the sofa with anyone and you always have peace and quiet to have a long and 4 bath. However, there's no one around if you need a helping hand. If something gets 5, you'll have to fix it yourself, ask a friend, or worse—6 someone to fix it! You may feel quite 7. There's no one at home to have a cup of tea with and talk about how your day was. You could 8 a friend of course, 9 it's not the same as having somebody with you around the kitchen table.

    It's not all 10 when you live with other people, though. Sometimes when  you get home, the cakes your colleague (同事) gave you as a thank-you present are mysteriously 11. Whenever you want a relaxing bath, there's always someone wanting to 12 every five minutes. Your home is certainly messier than if you were 13. People bring lots of things, and they have to put them 14. It's also seldom 15—someone always seems to have a birthday party when you want to get to bed 16.

    But despite (不管) all that, there can be some 17 moments. Like coming home to a thank-you note and some chocolate for something you did the day 18. And when you come home after a long day, you find your 19 making pizza with leftover (剩余的) vegetables while you watch a film and 20. That's when it all seems worth it.
