    Last Sunday, the weather was 11, so he went to the beach with his friends happily. They 12there in the morning. In the afternoon, they went to the countryside 13. They visited a farm there. After that they 14. They were 15 but they had a great time.

    How can we students keep ourselves safe? Here are some tips.

    On your way home or to school: Wait for the        traffic light, and look left and right before you cross the road. If you see a car coming, don't cross until it really        . Dress in bright colors, so the drivers can        you clearly.

    At school: When students around you begin to push, try to hold onto（抓住） something, or stay in a safer corner.       you fall down in a crowded place, cover your head       both hands.

    When there's a fire: Stay calm and leave quickly. Use a piece of wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke. If your       catch fire, drop them to the ground and roll from side to side to        out the fire.

    What will the weather be like? Some people say they can know what the weather will be like from birds. If they see birds fly high out to the sea, they know it is a nice day. Because birds don't like to fly out when it will rain. When the weather will be bad, the birds come back to the beach. A big wind may come with a rain. Birds do not like to fly in a big wind. They may sit in a tree when rain is coming. Other animals can also tell the weather. If it's a cloudy day and the rain is coming, chickens aren't quiet, and they are running here and there. Frogs are making big noise in the pool. If it is a nice day, the frogs will come out of the water.

    Liu Feng is studying in an American school now. He is from Nanchang, China. All of his lessons are very good, but he is a little shy. He doesn't talk much with his classmates because he thinks there are so many differences between him and them.

    That is true. His classmates speak different languages, have different eating habits, and even their looks are different from his. For example, Liu Feng's hair is short, black and straight, but his classmates' are not the same. Mike's hair is yellow and long. Sam's hair is curly and brown. Molly's hair is blonde. Liu Feng thinks his classmates' builds and clothes seem to be strange, too. For example, Alan is a tall and thin boy, but he wears a colorful T-shirt. Tom is short, but he's a little heavy with a big nose and long curly hair.

    Last week my grandpa called me. He asked me to spend my vacation with him. He lives in a village in the countryside. It's small but it's pretty cool there in summer. The weather is very hot in our city and I often feel bored here. I was very happy and thanked him. I said, "I'm going to visit you when my summer vacation begins. "

    On July 5^th, my parents and I went shopping and bought some delicious food for my grandpa.

    The next morning my father took me to the train station. It was the first time for me to have a train trip alone（独自）. I looked out of the window on the train. I found the scenery（风景）was beautiful. I thought the trip was relaxing.

    At four in the afternoon the train arrived at the station. I saw my grandpa standing outside when I got off（下车）. He was happy when he saw me. His village is about one kilometer from the station so we walked there. I looked around and found the mountains were high and green. I thought I could have a good time there.

    This year during the Spring Festival, we travelled to Thailand. We stayed at the First Hotel for five days. On the first day,        It was very funny.

    On that morning,       because our guide told us that we must get together at 7:25 and the restaurant was open at half past six. But when we came into the restaurant at 6:40,       

    Then we had breakfast and finished it at 6：50. Because there was almost no food for us, we just ate congee（粥）.

    Then we waited for our guide.       So we called him. We asked him why he didn't appear（出现） at 7:30. He heard that and laughed, then he said, "It is only 5:30 now!"

    We made a mistake about the time.        So we got up about one hour earlier. But in fact the time in Thailand is later than the time in China! So that morning, we got up at four o'clock of the Thailand's time!
