3．The spa town of Cheltenham sits on the edge of the Cotswolds，in the county of Gloucester.Below is a look at four fabulous attractions that make Cheltenham such a terrific place to visit.
Cheltenham Festival
The festival is an annual，four-day feast of racing and，on the last day，features the famous Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeplechase.It's a dramatic race of around 3 miles and 2.5 furlongs，and the horses have to clear 22 fences.Anything can happen.In 2020，this last day of the festival drew in a crowd of 68，859.
Pittville Park
If you visit Pitville Park，you'll find it divided into two main parts by the Evesham Road.The eastern side is home to the children's play area and is where people can view wildlife.Meanwhile，on the western side of the road，you'll find the larger area of the park and small areas of woodland.There's also a lower lake at which you can fish during fishing season.That's not the only activity，however.There's a skate park，tennis courts and a small children's play area.
Holst Birthplace Museum
Cheltenham was the birthplace of the 19th century English composer Gustav Holst，and visitors can visit the home in which he was born.You'll receive a taste of what Victorian life was like，as the home boasts a working Victorian kitchen，scullery，and nursery.The museum also allows you to discover the composer's life and times by allowing you into his music room.Here is where he composed The Planets.

4．Terry Fox never thought he'd live a remarkable life.
He liked sports，but no one thought he was talented.During his first year in the university，he had a pain in his right knee，which was so bad that he couldn't stand up.He went to the doctor for tests.They showed that he had cancer.He was going to lose his leg and be given an artificial one.Terry's family and friends all gave him fantastic support.Terry said that he knew all those people really cared and helped him.He decided to face it with bravery.
One night Terry was looking through an article about Dick Traum，who also had an artificial leg and had run in the New York Marathon. "If he can do it，" thought Terry， "I can，too.In fact，I'll run across Canada and raise money for cancer research.It will be a Marathon of Hope!"
For the next 16 months，Terry had special treatments for his cancer.And then he also began to run a little every day.Each day he ran a little farther.It is 5，300 miles across Canada.Terry hoped to run thirty to forty miles a day so that it would take him six months.Most of all，he hoped to raise ﹩1 million for cancer research.
Because Terry had an artificial leg，running wasn't easy or straightforward.He had to move by jumping on one foot twice and then take a long step with his real leg.Although it looked awkward，he still kept on running.His action made people join him as he ran：children，football stars，wheelchair athletes and even his brother，Darrell.As Terry ran，people waved and cheered.So much money was donated that the volunteers used large garbage bags so everyone could give.
Then，outside Thunder Bay，Ontario，Terry felt a sharp pain in his chest.The pain was from cancer；this time in his lungs.He had to abandon the Marathon after 3，339 miles.He told the people before he left， "I won't give up.I just hope people will continue to give money." And they did.Just under ﹩25 million was given.
Terry received numerous awards.At 22，he was the youngest Canadian to ever receive Canada's highest award，the Companion of the Order of Canada.
