on the buses. It took us more than two hours to arrive at the campground.

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 rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of the others. At
first,my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn't listen to us and kept going round and round.
Then the teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries,we did much better.

A. Thank you for your suggestion. I think the best way to improve your reading is to guess the meaning
of a word from the sentence where it is. Also, if you have an English-Chinese dictionary, it's good to look
up the new words and then write them down in your notebook.
B. The best way for you to learn the different positions of a newspaper or a magazine is to get a copy of
an all-English newspaper or magazine. And copy down the different positions, such as chief editor,
reporter and photo editor.

com.
