I’m taking my family to other countries to have a trip. My wife and I and our two children are all going along. My elder brother will go with us, too. He has never been overseas and he is even more excited than the children. My father is so old that he’d like to stay at home and take care of the house.

We’re going by train to New York, and then take a ship to Europe . When we arrive in Europe, we’re going to some countries for sightseeing (观光). We’ll go to places either by train or by bus. We’re going to fly home.

It took us a long time to decide where to go, but I think we’ll have a very interesting trip. We’ll go to England, France and Italy. We also talked about how we would go to Europe. At first we wanted to fly because it would be faster and would save more time. But my brother likes to take a boat trip and the children like that, too.

We have a terrible school trip last weekend. Some students were late. Then we waited half an hour for the school bus, but it didn’t arrive. Finally, our teacher took us to take the subway. It took us about an hour. After we got off the subway, we walked and got lost. When we finally arrived at the zoo, we were tired and hungry. We wanted to see dolphins, but there weren’t any. There were some really smart seals, but we didn’t see the show because we arrived too late. We left our camera at school, so we didn’t take any photos. Then it started to rain, and no one had an umbrella. So we went for lunch. My friends had some ice cream. But I didn’t have any, because I don’t like it. We didn’t see many animals because of the rain. Finally we went back to school. We were wet, tired and stressed out(紧张). I didn’t enjoy my school trip at all.

【小题1】How many people of the family will go to have a trip?

Dear Peter,
Did you have a good time last summer?I did. I took a trip to Seattle with my brotherHenry. It took us two and a half hours to drive to Seattle from my home. We stayed in a big hotel near the beautiful beach. On the first day, we just stayed in the hotel and watched TV. On the second day, we wen tto a supermarket and bought our favorite things. There were lots of people there. I bought a T-shirt and a sweater. They were both white because I looked very cool in white. Henry bought a green backpack, and he liked green best. On the third day, we went to a zoo and saw many cute animals. I liked the pandas and koalas best. And I took many photos of them.
What about your summer vacation? Was it fun? Please write to me and tell me about it.
Yours, Jack
