    I had a summer camp with my classmates last year. Early in the morning, we gathered at the bus station. After saying goodbye to our parents, we got on the buses. It took us more than two hours to arrive at the camp ground.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    We got off the buses cheerfully. Laughing and shouting, we jumped and ran all over the place. It was the first time for us to be away from the parents. Some of us started to feel homesick. However, when the night party and dances began, the homesickness（想家）was gone.

    The next day, everybody rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of the others. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn't listen to us and kept going round and round. Then the teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries, we did much better.

    A good book can help you learn more things than you can learn in class. If you want to get into a good reading habit(习惯), here are a few ways.

    Plan your time

    You should give yourself at least thirty minutes for reading every day. When time is set, nothing can change it.

    Always carry a book

    Wherever you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, make sure that you always carry a good book as well as your school things.

    Find a quiet place

    Find a place in your home where you can read a book quietly and no one will trouble you. There should be no television, computer, music or even noisy family members around you.
