“Maggie, I’ll go to Edinburgh tomorrow for business. Would you like to come with me?” Grandpa asked his young granddaughter.
She looked up at him with excited eyes and said, “Grandpa, I’d love to go. Can we go to the castle (城堡)? Can we shop on the Princes street? Can we go on a double-decker bus (双层巴士)?”
“Hold on there. I can’t promise we will be able to go to the castle ,but perhaps we can do a bit of shopping and go on the bus,”he said, “Go and ask your grandmother if it is all right with her.”
Maggie ran off to find her. She was outside in the garden. “Grandma, can I go with grandpa to Edinburgh tomorrow?”
Grandma stopped weeding the turnip patch. “Go and have fun,” she said.
“Why don’t you come too, Grandma?” Maggie asked.
“I’ve got too much work here. My garden needs weeding and I’ve got to tend to the sheep,” she explained . “You go and enjoy yourself. ”
Maggie hardly slept that night, she’d only been to Edinburgh once before. She was up before the sun rose over the horizon. Grandpa said they were to get an early start. Maggie ate breakfast, which consisted of porridge and a banana, then dressed and was ready to go. Grandpa waited for her outside. “Are you ready?” he asked, smiling down at her.
Maggie was wearing a bright red skirt, a white blouse (衬衫) with little red flowers embroidered on the corner, a red cardigan (开衫),white socks and red shoes, and her brown pigtail (马尾) were tied in red ribbons. “I’m ready, grandpa,”she said excitedly.
He took her by the hand and they walked down to the bus station. They boarded soon after arriving and found a seat near the front. Maggie sat by the window. During the long drive down to the town, she sat staring out of the window. “We are almost there ,”grandpa nudged (轻推) her. “Look up there on the hill. That’s the castle,” he said softly.
Paragraph 1:
At last the bus stopped at the bottom of the hill near the castle.

I think that you are never going to be as happy as you were when you were little. There are no worries when you are little. The things that worried you most are not important things. My most memorable moments happened when I was a child. I can not remember a lot of them because I was very little but I remember the most exciting thing for me at that time.
Some of my friends that I have now have been my best friends since childhood. It is really nice to still have them in my life. Most of them I know are from school but some of them are because of our mothers. And it is really strange to think that you have spent all your life with them. We often went out for sightseeing during holidays, which really made us kids happy and helped establish sincere friendship.
One trip that I remember a lot was when I went with one of my best friend Kate to a cruise (乘船游览) to the Caribbean islands in a summer holiday when I was 10 years old. Going there was a perfect thing that I’d always dreamed of. On the way to the cruise, we were very excited. We both were going with our families. We were together all of the time. Sometimes she came to sleep in my room and sometimes I went to hers. When we got down in the islands we also spent all of the time together because our mothers are also very good friends. On the morning of the last day of the trip the cruise stopped near a mall to let tourists go into the mall to do some shopping. Both Kate’s and my parents were busy in choosing clothes and we showed no interest in clothes, so we felt a little bored, having nothing to do.
