There are quite nice places to visit in our town.

I went to a summer camp with my classmates last weekend.

We (meet) at the station in the early morning. After (say) goodbye to our parents, we got on the bus. After about two hours, we (arrive) at the campground(野营地).

After getting off the bus, we jumped and ran happily. But we (be) away from our parents for the first time, so some of us started to feel homesick(想家的)one hour later. , when the dancing party began, no one felt homesick. next day, most of us rushed(冲) to the boating class. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat kept (go) round and round. Then the teacher (teach) us how to work together(共同). After many (try), we did much better.

At the camp I learned a lot things and made many new friends.

I often spend my summer holidays just with my parents. It is quite boring. But last summer holiday was1. Some of my friends came to stay with my parents and me for a week at our summer house. It is in as mall beach town called Port sea. They got there by train. It2them three hours.

One morning my friends and I 3to take my parents' boat for a ride. We rowed(划船)4 half an hour and found a big cave(山洞). Susan said it could be dangerous to go into it. But Peter said it was okay.5we started rowing again and got in. Then the tide(潮) started. At first we thought we could fight it but we were 6. We shouted for7 but there was no one around. Susan and I began to cry. Louis told us not to worry because the tide would be out. Because Louis always seemed to know the answer to8, we stopped crying.

Luckily, Louis was right9. After some hours the tide went out. We rowed back home quickly. We didn't10my parents about this special trip. And we were so afraid that we would not have a boat ride again.

I only stayed there for five days, but I it was a month.
