Most businesses were open five days a week. American school children went to school five days a week as well. American families usually had a two -day weekend.

The weekend was Saturday and Sunday. Over the weekend, people spent their time in many different ways. Many families enjoyed weekends together. They may go shopping, go for a drive or visit friends. They may also invite friends over and have a party at home. Many American families took part in sports during the weekend.

Running, biking, playing volleyball and swimming were popular in summer. Skiing and skating were favorite winter sports. Weekends were also a time for American families to work on something in their houses. Many families planted flowers and had vegetable gardens.

It was sunny today. We went on a school trip.

—好极了!

— your trip last weekend?

—It was great.

— Last summer.

    Last week grandpa called me. He asked me to spend my vacation with him. He lives in a village (村庄). It's small but it's very cool there in summer. It's very hot in our city. So I often feel bored here. I was very happy and thanked him. I said, "I'm going to visit you when our summer vacation begins."

    It was July 5th, last Tuesday. My parents took me to the supermarket and we bought some delicious food. They told me to take it to grandpa. The next morning daddy took me to the train station(火车站). It was the first time for me to have a trip by myself. But I felt relaxed. I'm fourteen and I learned a lot in geography class. The train left at six thirty. I looked out of the windows in the train. I found the scenery(风景)was beautiful. I wasn't tired at all.

    At four in the afternoon my train arrived at a station. I saw my grandpa standing outside. I got off the train and ran to him. He was happy when he saw me. I looked at him up and down. He was old but strong.

    His village is about three kilometers from the station. We walked there. I looked around. The mountains are high and green. I thought I could have a good time there.
