Searching for paradise on Palawan
It isn't hard to find paradise on the island of Palawan in the Philippines.
I found it on the third day of my vacation. I'd ridden my bicycle for two days down a terrible rocky road.
Then I got my reward - the blue ocean and beautiful beaches of Sabang. Sabang is famous for the Underground River. At eight kilometers, it is one of the longest river caves in the world. To get there,
I hiked along the Monkey Trail. Mosquitoes ate me alive but I saw monkeys and giant monitor lizards.My next stop was Port Barton, another beautiful and peaceful beach town. It's a great please to relax, visit waterfalls, and take a tour of the mangrove swamps. My guide rowed the boat. All I had to do was take pictures.

做為對她服務的酬謝，她得到100美元
[ prize ] "something that is given to someone who is successful in competition, race, game"
通常是給予一個比賽或是遊戲中獲勝者的獎勵與獎品

trail
文/奇摩知識家
在北美洲或者英國，時常將樹林內的小徑，稱之為 trail。每個城市內都有很多小徑 Trail，供市民使用，作為晨運、單車路徑。因此 trail是個大家熟悉的用詞，也可以形容為一連串行程，例如： tourist trail (遊客的遊覽路線)。
新聞工作者或專欄作家在報導大選活動時，便採用 trail 形容為一連串的大選活動或者競選活動，例如： election trail/campaign trail。
這裡所說的活動包括辯論會debates, 提名大會nominating conventions, 競選廣告 campaign advertising, 以及競選演說 campaign speeches 等等。當然，競選的行程也包括在campaign trail 內。
根據Longman 英文字典的解釋，trail 是 一群人組成特定目標的團體所參觀的各個地方便稱之為 trail 。 (all the places that a particular group of people visit for a particular purpose.)
CNN 電視台為了讓政治節目大眾化，便採用通俗的詞句
，將大選的時事節目稱之為Campaign Trail ，中文可翻譯為「大選歷程」或「競選活動歷歷在目」。

On the road out of Port Barton, my bicycle really came in handy. Trucks and buses sank into deep mud and got stuck. I just picked up my bike and carried it through the mud. Nothing stops a mad on a bicycle. Days of adventure and hard cycling brought me to the town of Taytay. From my bungalow on the hill, I looked down on a big stone fort. This fort was built by the Spanish in 1667. It was a good place to learn about the history of the Philippines. One more day of cycling got me to E1 Nido, the jewel of Palawan. Before I'd even unpacked my bags, I hopped on a boat for the sunset tour. A cold drink and colorful sunset were the perfect end to a perfect day.
1.sink
Synonym--go down
Definition--to go down below the surface or towards the bottom of a liquid or soft substance
My sentence--The ship sank.
2.adventure
