On our first day there we went to the mountain and watched the sun going down 10. s_______ in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw the beautiful sunrise.

I think the Buddy Club is great. I really enjoy talking with the older students about school life and growing up. They can tell me a lot. One student told me how he relaxed (放松) before exams. Another student told me about great websites about learning History and English.

The Buddy Club is also a good place to just forget about school altogether! One of the older students taught us origami (日本折纸). We made paper planes, birds and hats together.

The table tennis tournament（锦标赛) was a great idea. I didn’t do very well, but I learnt a lot from watching the doubles tournament won by a fourteen-year-old girl and a seventeen-year-old boy.

Last year, we had the annual (每年的) Buddy Club Picnic. Everyone enjoyed the games we played. After I learnt how to fish, I caught two fish in the lake. I think it might be a good idea to change the Buddy Club Picnic to a weekend camping trip. We could learn how to put up (架起) tents (帐篷) and how to find our way through a forest. Many of the older students know how to do this already, and I think they would like to teach the younger students.

I want to say again how much I enjoy the club. When I’m older, I will make friends with younger students. Then, I can tell them all about school life and growing up.

First, welcome to West Lake! I am glad to serve all of you.

Today you come here, you are sure to be attracted by its beauty. Hangzhou is famous for West Lake which is a famous fresh water lake, It lies in central Hangzhou, in Zhejiang Province of eastern China.

Traditionally, there are ten best-known spots on the West Lake. They are called Ten Scenes of West Lake by Qianlong Emperor. The West Lake is divided by three causeways called Su Di, Bai Di, and Yanggong Di. First I want to tell you the history of Bai Di.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Zhen yuan era（785-804）, poet Bai Juyi came to Hangzhou as a governor（官员，总督）. He realized that the farmland nearby depended on the water of West Lake, but the old dyke（堤防）had collapsed（倒塌）, the water of West Lake had dried out, and the local farmers suffered drought. He ordered the construction（修建）of a causeway of a stronger and taller dyke to solve the drought problem. The lives of local people improved over the following years. Then Bai Juyi had more free time to enjoy the beauty of West Lake. He visited West Lake almost every day. This causeway was later named after Bai Di in Bai Juyi's honor.

Next is Su Di. Spring Dawn on the Su Causeway is considered as the first of ten scenes. It was built by Su Dongpo, the great poet, during the Noah Song Dynasty. It is very beautiful in spring.
