Going camping is the best fun in the world if we know how to do it. Every healthy boy and girl should enjoy living outdoors for a week or two every year.
A group of four members makes a good number for a camping trip. They can do much of the camp work in pairs. Then two members go fishing or hunting, and the other two can stay to look after the camp together.
First, choose a leader (领导) not because he is more important than others but because if someone goes ahead and decides where to go, the life in camps will be easier.
If it is your first time to go camping, you should go somewhere near home. After you go camping near home, you can safely try the other way. Near every large city, there are some lakes or rivers. You can find a good camping site there. Campers always have more fun if they are near some water.

【推荐1】A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy liked playing around it every day. As the little boy grew up, he didn’t play around the tree any more.
One day the boy came back to the tree. He looked sad. “Why are you looking sad?” asked the tree. The boy answered, “I want my own house. I need money to buy it.”
“You can pick my apples and sell them. Then you will have money.”
A few years later, the boy returned. He told the tree that he wanted to go sailing around the world. “Use my branches to build your boat. You can sail far and be happy.” So the boy cut the branches to make a boat. He went sailing and didn’t return for a long, long time.
Many years later, the boy returned. “Sorry, but I don’t have anything for you anymore,” the tree said, crying.
“All I need is a place to rest. I am tired after my travels.”
The tree replied, “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad.

【推荐3】The words SIR ANTHONY EVANS PLAYS LISZT were a metre high. On the wall there was a big picture of Sir Anthony at the piano. It was Sir Anthony’s eightieth birthday concert. I was a newspaper reporter. I wanted to talk to the famous pianist before his concert.
On my way to his room my mouth was dry and my hands were shaking. A tall old man opened the door, his eyes were blue and bright. He saw my notebook and smiled at me. “Come in and sit down. Ask your questions. I was young once, but of course that was a long time ago.”
I was not afraid any more. I sat down and opened my notebook. “Tell me about yourself, please, Sir Anthony. Did you come from a musical family? Did you start to learn the piano when you were three, like Mozart?”
The famous pianist smiled. “No, my dear. I am the first musician in my family. And I was fourteen years old when I touched a piano for the first time.” He saw the surprise on my face. “I’ll tell you my story. It’s strange (奇怪), but every word is true. You see, I left school when I was thirteen. Everybody called me Tony in those days. I worked on a farm…”
It was an exciting story. At first I tried to write everything down in my notebook. Then the pen fell from my hand and I just listened. I was lost in his wonderful story. He told me about an old school behind a high wall. It was very small. As he spoke, pictures came into my mind. I saw a little boy called Tony, playing football with children…
