　　　　Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones（时区）, one hour apart（一个时区相差一小时）. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four 　　hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.

　　　　If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean（大西洋）,your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back, travelling east you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.

　　If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the inter-national date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar（日历） one full day, backward or forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday,travelling west, it is tomorrow.

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.
