2 . 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 (营地).

We got off the buses happily. 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).

The next day, everybody went to the boating class hoping to be the first. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn’t listen to us and kept going round and round.

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.
