    I had a summer camp with my classmates last year.

    Early in the morning we met at the bus station . After saying goodbye to our parents , we got on the buses . It took us more than two hours to arrive at the campground(野营地).

    We got off the buses cheerfully . Laughing and shouting . We jumped and ran all over the place . It was the first time for us to be away from the parents . Some of us started to feel homesick (想家). However , when the night party and dances began , the homesickness was gone .

    The next day , everybody rushed to the boating class , hoping to be at the head of the others . At first , my friends and I worked hard , but the boat wouldn't listen to us and kept going round and round . Then the teacher taught us how to work together . After many tries , we did much better.

    Swimming class was my favorite . It was about the hottest time of a day and the best time to stay in the cool water . The swimming teacher was a funny man , and during the class he often made us laugh happily .

    During（在……期间）the week I learned a lot of new things and made many new friends . I also learned how to take care of myself .

    One of the easiest ways to keep fit is to do jogging. Jogging is the name for a very gentle(舒缓的) running-it is just a little faster than walking.

    Start slow joging 20 meters , then walk 20 meters. Little by little , if you are not feeling very tired , you may do more jogging and less walking . Finally , jog the whole way . It will be easy for you to start jogging for 15 minutes twice a week , slowly, increase this to 20—30 minutes every day .The longer you join in jogging , the more you enjoy it and the healthier you will become . Some people like jogging alone , and others enjoy doing it with friends . Jogging in groups makes more people keener(热心的)，because you just can not stay in bed while there is a group of friends waiting outside.

    If you want to start jogging , prepare a pair of comfortable shoes and a determined mind.

    The earth moves round the sun , and the moon moves round the earth . When our part of the earth faces the moon , it is night .

    The sun is much bigger than the moon . But sometimes the moon looks bigger than the sun , because it's much nearer to the earth

    The sun is very bright . It gives off very strong light . The moon looks quite bright , too. But it doesn't give off any light at all .

    The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars . But actually the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon . They look smaller than the moon because they're much farther away from us .

    Every week I have a two-day holiday.. So every weekend I have a good time .  I sometimes go to the countryside with my classmates by bus to breathe (呼吸) the fresh air , climb the hills and enjoy the beauty of nature .Sometimes I go for a picnic in the open air with my friends by bike . There we draw pictures and take photos. .

    Last Saturday , I went on a trip with my parents .. We sat around it , singing and dancing happily . When we felt tried , we sat together , looked at the stars and chatted (聊天) for a long time , and then went to sleep in the tent ..
