Last summer holiday, I went to Xi'an with my family. We took part in a summer camp. We went to Xi'an with1Americans who were in the summer camp too. So I not only enjoyed my trip, but also2five new friends.

3the first day of the trip, we visited the Terracotta Warriors (秦始皇兵马俑). They are one of the world's eight wonders and a national treasure in China. It is said that it took 720,0004 to build the Terracotta Warriors. To my great 5, there were thousands of warriors. I really couldn't believe my6. They looked serious and lively, which reminded me that how great our ancestors (祖先) were. 7 introducing the historical background of the Qin Dynasty (秦朝) to my foreign friends, they all lost themselves in my story. And I felt 8 of these great works. During the trip, I took many photos of my family and our foreign friends. We also learned9to make the warriors in person.

On the second day, we rode bikes on the ancient City Wall of Xi'an. It10 us about one and a half hours to cycle around it. We could 11 how big the city of Chang'an was in the ancient times after visiting.12 we were tired, we felt quite happy. We enjoyed beautiful views as we cycled. 13 a wonderful experience it was! In the afternoon, we went to see how to make paper. We also made paper14.

The trip was really the 15 one ever for me!

When you think of a desert(沙漠), what do you think of? Maybe you think of the Mojave Desert in America or the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Maybe you think of the Sahara Desert in Africa. All of these deserts are in hot weather. These deserts are near the equator(赤道)and they stay hot all year round. But not all the deserts are hot. You will also find cold deserts in Greenland, Mongolia and other parts of Asia. Coastal deserts are near the sea. They may get more rain than other deserts, but they are still very dry.

Fun Facts

●There is little rain in deserts, these areas usually have cloudless skies.

●Even hot deserts get cold at night. The cloudless skies allow heat to run away.

●Trees and plants must adapt (适应)to living in the desert. Most plants and trees have thorns (刺)to stop animals from eating them. They may also have thick, fleshy leaves to store water.

●Animals must also adapt if they are to live in the desert Snakes and other desert animals are well adapted to living in the desert. They dig holes under the ground when they get too warm.

I live in a house near a river. It's an old house about 100 years old, and it's not big. There are two bedrooms upstairs but no bathroom. The bathroom is on the first floor next to the kitchen and there is a living room with an old fireplace.

There is a garden in front of the house. There are many flowers in the garden in spring(春天). I live alone (独自)with my dog, Boxer, but my friends often come to see me. I love my house, because I love the garden, the flowers in spring, and the fireplace. But I like the view(风景) from the window of my bedroom best.

The Fisherman's soul calls to him," Don't send me away. Please, don't send me away"

"You're not important to me," says the Fisherman," Go away, go where you want. "

The Fisherman arrives at the seashore(海岸). He stands with his back to the moon. He looks at the sea. His shadow(影子)lies before him. His shadow is the body of his soul.

The soul speaks again," Send me away with your heart. "

"How can I love my Mermaid with no heart?" says the Fisherman.

"Be kind," says the soul," Give me your heart. "

"My heart is for my Mermaid. Go! You are not important to me," cries the Fisherman. He takes the little knife and he cuts his shadow away from his feet. The shadow rises and he is the same size as the Fisherman.

The shadow says," I want to meet you every year. I can come back to this place. I can call you and you can come.

"OK" says the Fisherman. Then he jumped into the water. The little Mermaid comes to meet him and they go down under the water.

The soul watches on the beach. He is all alone.
