Hello, everyone. It’s good to see you again at school. Where did you go for your summer vacation? I went to a farm with my parents. It was wonderful! Here is some information about the farm.

We have a terrible school trip last weekend.     41     Then we waited half an hour for the school bus, but it didn’t arrive. Finally (最后), our teacher took us to take the subway. It took us about an hour. After we got off the subway,     42     When we finally arrived at the zoo, we were tired and hungry. We wanted to see dolphins, but there weren’t any. There were some really smart seals, but we didn’t see the show because we arrived too late. We left our camera (相机) at school,     43     Then it started to rain, and no one had an umbrella. So we went for lunch.     44     But I didn’t have any, because I don’t like it. We didn’t see many animals because of the rain. Finally we went back to school.     45     I didn’t enjoy my school trip at all.

Last week Grandpa called me. He asked me to spend my vacation with him. He lives in a mountain village. It’s small but it’s very cool 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. Parents took me to the supermarket and we bought some delicious food. They told me to take it to my grandpa. The next morning Daddy took me to the train station. It was the first time for me to have a trip by myself. But I felt relaxed. I was fourteen and I learned a lot in geography classes. The train left at six o’clock. I looked out of the windows in the train. I found the scenery (景色) 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.
