Answer Key

Suggested answer:

Cheung Chau Island is a popular outlying island of Hong Kong. There are some tourist spots on the island that you should not miss. For example, you can go swimming or enjoy sunbathing at Tung Wan Beach. If you like Chinese culture, you can also visit the Pak Tai Temple to see some beautiful statues. There is a special event called the Bun Festival in April or May. During the festival, you can eat steamed buns,watch a paradeand the famous Bun Scrambling Competition.

I really like going to Cheung Chau Island because there are a lot of things to see and do there. I can also enjoy the beautiful view of the sea when going there by ferry.
