My parents are always very busy with their work. When I don't need to go to school, I have to stay at home by（I）. 

Sometimes I feel really bored and want to go on a trip. （lucky）, last week my parents had a four-day vacation, so they decided  （take）  me to Guilin by train. When we got to the station, we saw many people there and we  （wait） over an hour for the train. 

Guilin is a  （wonder） city with beautiful scenery （风景）. There are new buildings everywhere in the city. People there are friendly and the streets are very clean. On the second day after we arrived there, we rented （租） three   （bicycle） and rode them around the city.   we were hungry, we stopped to eat some food. On the （three） day, we took a boat trip along the Lijiang River to Yangshuo.  the way, we saw mountains of different shapes （形状）. We spent three days in Guilin and had  enjoyable time. 

This summer my family went on a trip to Stockholm. 

Before the trip, we booked  hotel room in the city centre. When we arrived in Stockholm, we  （take）a bus to the hotel. Then we went out for dinner. We saw trees and flowers everywhere on the way to the restaurant. We felt like we were in a big forest.  a lovely city! 

The next day we visited the Vasa Museum. It's home to an old ship—the Vasa. Nothing was  （exciting）than it for my son, because visiting museums is （he）favourite. There were many visitors in front of the museum. We waited  a long time and felt a little tired. But  we went into the museum, we were all surprised. The ship looked very cool and beautiful. Then we took quite a few photos. 

The third day we went to a park in Stockholm. Lots of people were in the park. My son played with some  （child）there. I talked with their parents. My husband watched a chess game. I thought it was the best way （feel）Stockholm! 

It was a really （relax）trip. We all had a good time. 

This summer holiday was great for me. My parents took me and my brother  Paris. We flew there on July 16th  stayed at my aunt's house. The weather (be) very hot, almost 40℃. But there was (anything) interesting to see in Paris.

 On Monday, we visited Disneyland. I (meet) some cartoon characters like Minnie and Mickey. My little brother and I took many (photo) of them. It was fun! On Wednesday, we visited the Louvre Museum and I (real) liked it! I saw one of the most famous pictures—Mona Lisa in  world.

In the evening we walked along the Avenue des Champs-Elysees. It's a very beautiful street. My parents bought many gifts for

(them) friends. On Friday, we visited the Eiffel Tower. It was a good place (enjoy) the city from its observatories(观景台). When we were there, we were so excited!

Wonderful Park has finally reopened after nearly three months of repair! Since my sister Julia's birthday is coming, yesterday my parents took us to the park to have some fun. Julia was very excited as she had never been to Wonderful Park before.

We arrived at the park early in the morning. While we were buying tickets at the ticket office, Julia was told that she could enjoy free admission during her birthday month. She could also get some pin s and stickers for free. Julia was over the moon with her birthday presents. After buying our tickets, Julia wanted to ride the Ferris wheel. However, Mum suggested going to the King's Theatre first as a musical was about to begin.

We were attracted by the delicious smell of popcorn while we were on the way to the King's Theatre. We bought two bags of chocolate popcorn and it tasted good. Before we entered the theatre, there were two cartoon characters standing at the entrance. They were lovable so Julia and I took some photos with them. The show began at ten forty-five. Though I am not a big fan of musicals, it was really great. All the performers sang and danced well. There was a huge round of applause (掌声) when the show ended. Then, we went to the ride. It was the last stop and also the most enjoyable part of our trip.

Here are the photos we took. The first one shows the chocolate popcorn. It was yummy! Next are the photos we took at the entrance of the King's Theatre. The cartoon characters are giving me and Julia a big hug! Here comes the photo that J like best. We took this after we rode on the Ferris wheel. Dad is putting his arm around Mum's shoulders. Julia is making a V sign with her fingers and I am making a silly face. It is a nice family photo. We all look forward to visiting the park again!

This summer. I went for a budget trip(穷游). I visited Shandong with my father. What a special and surprising trip it was! My father and I only spent about 1,500 yuan on the trip. We tried some different ways to save money.

We didn't take planes because the air tickets were expensive. We didn't have enough money for air tickets. We decided to take trains. Hard seats were our first choice(选择). We chose the hard sleepers(卧铺) only when we were too tired. As for hotels, we chose to live in small and cheap hotels. We didn't want to spend money living in large and expensive hotels. We didn't eat out. We went to the shops to buy some vegetables and meat, and then we cooked meals in the hotel. We saved a lot of money in this way.

I learned a lot from the trip. I want to go for another budget trip next year. Would you like to go with me?

London Zoo is one of the top attractions in Britain and it is the world's (最古老的) scientific zoo. It was built over 180 years ago. Now it is run by the Zoological Society of London.

The zoo can be found in the heart of London. (虽然) it lies in the middle of the city, the zoo still has a large (数目) of animals to see, including lions, giraffes, tigers, (猴子) and so on. In fact, there are 750 different groups, making it one of the largest collections of animals in the UK.

The zoo is (分成) into many different areas, such as Lions and Tigers, where you can get very close to a family of beautiful but endangered big cats from Asia. These places are great fun to explore and help make it very (受欢迎的) with tourists from different parts of the world.

Shopping can also be done in the zoo. There are several places where you can buy food and drink. Gifts (两者) about the zoo and the city can be bought in many shops.

The best way to (到达) the zoo is to take the underground. As it is in the (北面) end of Regent's Park, it only takes ten minutes to walk (穿过) the park from Regent's Park Underground Station.

Yesterday, I went to Chaotian Palace Plaza. There were different stands where artists could demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors! It was an  experience for me.

What caught my attention first was , that is, making images out of paper. It was difficult, but a lot of fun! With help from the artist, I  to make one in the shape of a fish. Then I went into a section decorated  a traditional Chinese study, with two beautiful Chinese paintings of a pine tree and some bamboo hung . There was also an old man writing Chinese calligraphy: his writing was so free and elegant!

I travel a lot. Each month, I pack up my suitcase to hit the road, whether it could be by plane, train, or automobile. I always find myself with the same problem—how to stay healthy while traveling?

⒈ Move around.

Though only about 1 in 4, 500 airplane passengers develop a blood clot (血块), you should still make efforts to move around on the plane, just standing in the aisle or by taking a walk to the toilet. Have a layover (中途停留)? Instead of sitting, make sure to walk around the airport. Taking a road trip? Make plenty of stops to move around. Whether it is working out at your hotel, taking hikes, or giving up public transport to walk, you'll feel much better if you get in some activity.

⒉ Prepare snacks smartly.

Though these seem like a convenient choice, they're not the healthiest. I like to pack snacks that are within my calorie budget for the day and 100 calories or under each. When traveling and buying food, I try to choose fresh fruit and vegetables. Is fast food the only choice if you're very hungry? Stick to something simple and whatever you do, don't supersize.

⒊

Because of low humidity on planes, many of us can find ourselves feeling thirstier than ever. Drink more water. Make sure when traveling on day trips to carry water with you at all times. As a result, you will eat more healthily throughout the day.
