My best holiday trip is one to Fraser's Hill in Selangor. It was the school holidays and my parents had booked a small house on top of the hill just one and a half hours' drive from our home.

    We started early in the morning by car. My brother, sister and I sat in the car excitedly thinking about the cool weather and the walk in the wood. We arrived at Kuala Kubu for breakfast. It was a little town that had many old buildings.

    Further along the way, we stopped at the lakeside to take pictures. Along its banks were some villages. The journey up the hills was interesting with tropical rainforest(热带雨林).

    Finally, we reached the Gap where we were allowed to go up to Fraser's. When we reached the town centre, a strange clock tower, old police station, and cute golf course greeted us. We stopped for lunch at a Chinese food restaurant. Then, we got to the house we booked.

    It was eating, sleeping, or playing cards all day as it was raining. We looked cool in our jackets as we walked along the road for dinner in town that night. It was dark when we went back. We were excited using our torches(手电筒). The next day was spent at the waterfalls 15 kilometers away and walked near the town. We had lunch at a Hainanese restaurant before checking out at 1 pm. People there were very friendly. We thanked them and said goodbye to the cool place before we made our way back to the polluted city.

    A student was going to spend his holiday in a cool mountain village. That evening he stayed at an inn (小旅馆) near the railway station (火车站). Before going to bed, he went to the boss of the inn and said, "Excuse me, sir. Will you please wake me up at a quarter to five tomorrow morning? I'll take the five o'clock train."

    "Oh, sorry, sir," the boss said in a hurry, "I'm afraid I can't. I won't be able to get up so early." The student was disappointed. When he began to return to his room, be stopped and asked, "Have you got an alarm-clock (闹钟)? Maybe it can help me."

    "Wait a minute, then." The boss said and brought out an alarm-clock. "Here you are, sir." "Thank you very much." The student said happily. But he found it was rusty (锈的) when he had a look at it. And it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. He asked, "Will it ring in time?" "I don't know, either." said the boss, "But it doesn't matter. You just give it a good shake at a quarter to five. And it will ring on time."

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. we Chinese have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for over 2,000 years. It's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of the three most important lunar festivals in China. The Dragon Boat Festival takes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} on the 22^th of June this year.

Throughout the years, many stories have been told about the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of this festival. Among them, the most famous one is about Qu Yuan, a well- known scholar in ancient China. He not only wrote good {#blank#}5{#/blank#} but also gave suggestions to the king. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he devoted(贡献) himself to his {#blank#}7{#/blank#} , the king didn't like him. This great person drowned(溺水) himself in the Miluo River on the 5th day of the 5th Chinese lunar month because his Chu State fell to Qin State. Local people tried to save him or find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} body, but they didn't succeed. Qu Yuan was later considered as a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} hero. To remember him, every fifth day of the fifth lunar month, people beat drums and go boat racing on the river as they once did to keep fish away from his body.

Dragon boat racing is one of the most important customs Chinese people practice to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. This activity is held {#blank#}10{#/blank#} in China's southern and southeastern areas where there are lots of rivers and lakes.

Welcome to Sunshine Middle School! Sunshine Middle School is a beautiful and modern(现代的) school. Our classrooms are big and clean. Our teachers are kind. I'm Mike, a student of Sunshine Middle School. We have many rules(规则) in our school. I think they are good for us. Let me tell you something about them.

On weekdays, we have to wear our school uniforms(制服). I think it's good. Because we should think more about our lessons, not our clothes. We can't be late for every class. We have to listen to the teacher carefully in class. We must finish homework on time after class. We can't eat in the classroom. But we can drink milk and eat fruit(水果) after class. I think it's good for our body. Last, we can't take mobile phones(手机) to school.

We can't play games on school nights. I don't like this rule. I know we must study hard, but we need to relax, too. I think many rules are good for us, we must follow the rules.
