What problems do the teenagers probably have? Here is a survey showing their main problems.

I had a summer camp with my classmates last year.

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

We got off the bus, jumped and ran happily all over the place, laughing and shouting. It was the first time for us to be away from our parents. Some of us started to feel homesick. They started to miss their families and lovely home. However, when the dancing party began the homesickness was gone. The next day, everybody rushed to the boating class. At first, 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. I felt relaxed.

During the week I had a good time and made many friends. I also learned a lot of things and learned how to take care of myself!
