“—下” is used after a verb to indicate a short action, similar to the reduplicative form of a verb.
The object of the verb can be omitted. 
For example:
wǒ kàn yí xià shū 。 
我看一下书。Let me read the book.

nǐ xiū xi yí xià bɑ 。 
你休息一下吧。You can take a break.

nǐ wèn yí xià lǎo shī 。 
你问一下老师。You ask the teacher.

wǒ tīnɡ yí xià zhè shǒu ɡē 。 
我听一下这首歌。Let me listen to this song.

Io dico BASTA!

Ollie Gamblin, 33, from the UK, and Lavinya Scholl, 35, from Germany, met in 2017 while cherry picking in Tasmania. Their mutual love for adventure took the pair all around Australia together — and seven years later, it took them all around the world, even earning them a Guinness World Record.

The pair recently became the youngest duo to circumnavigate the world on a motorcycle while riding pillion — which means one person driving and the other riding on the back. They visited 39 countries across five continents, riding 75,000 kilometers in 589 days.

"We wanted to see the world!" Ollie told us when we asked what their inspiration for the trip was. The idea of trying for a Guinness World Record came from the couple's friend, who had attempted a similar challenge.

"It made a good structure to the trip, a mission that we could aim for," Ollie added.

Beginning in London, the pair headed into France and Spain before crossing over into Morocco. They then rode south to Senegal before shipping their bike to Brazil.

The journey wasn't without its challenges — one being the pair's lack of motorcycle experience.

"We always go by the phrase 'learn by doing,'" Ollie told us. Reflecting on an oil slick that nearly sent them off a mountain road in Peru, he added: "Sometimes we truly believe that we must have had angels watching over us."

One of the biggest highlights for the pair was the generosity shown by the strangers they met, including an occasion in Nicaragua where a local man repaired their bike for free.

After riding around the bottom of South America and all the way up to Canada — stopping in Las Vegas to get married — they flew the bike to South Korea.

They then traveled west through Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, then through nine more countries in Europe to get back to the UK.

我在北京
我一直都很喜欢中国的文化。今年一月我离开家，离开了我的爸爸、妈妈，一个人坐飞机来北京学习汉语。老师和同学们对我非常好，他们帮助我提高汉语听、说、读、写能力，还告诉我北京人的工作和生活。
北京的春天天气很好，不冷不热，也很少下雨。我最喜欢北京的早上。每天早上五点半，我都会去跑步。在路上，我常常看见很多做运动的人。有的人在前面跑，他们的小狗在后面跑。人跑到哪儿，狗就到哪儿，太有意思了!很多商店很早就开门了，水果和菜就放在桌子上。卖东西的人坐在椅子上，手里拿着杯子，喝着茶，等着客人来买。晚上是我很喜欢的时间，我可以和朋友一起逛街、喝酒、吃好吃的东西。如果10点左右回家也没关系，因为中国是一个很安全的国家。
