This morning, I went camping along a path in Green Natural Park with my friends. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.

However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide.

Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!

We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.

This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains．Because
nobody likes the idea of getting lost，I always prepare before every
trip．But what’s the best navigation tool，a Global Positioning Sys-
tem(GPS)or a good old map and compass?
Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail
(路线)I marked．One team of three carried a GPS，and the other
team used a map and compass．
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 1 1 minutes to get through the
whole hike，however，it took the map and compass team only 2
hours and 49 minutes．The biggest problem the GPS team met was
that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places．With
no map or compass，they had to walk around until they were in a
place where the signal was good．The map and compass team was
able to spot different landmarks，compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction．
When I head out on my future hikes，I'm bringing a map，a compass and a GPS to show me the way．
