【正文】 nths of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn39。t wait to explore the country! After a few weeks of single travel, I met up with Philip and the other new teachers in my program in Bangkok. It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some cool sights and walk in Thailand39。s cities! After that, I attended the week173。long training. At the end of the training, I was sent to my school—Anuban Buriram Primary School. I truly love my job—I teach Grades 5 and 6 and I have the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It39。s a truly fantastic thing that you can see the difference you make in someone else39。s life, right in front of you! Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People here are more friendly than anyone I39。ve ever met—I39。ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received, where everyone you pass is so friendly to say Hello and Good morning. I39。ve been taken out to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to repay them in the future.（1）Where do I e from? A.Thailand.B.America.C.England.D.China.（2）What did the writer do right away after arriving in Thailand?
