A walk in the forest

I'm Grace. I live on a farm with my parents and take Benji, my pet dog, for a walk most days after school.

Wednesday

As I was going through the forest it started raining hard. Suddenly, I slipped and fell on the ground. Ouch! That hurt. Then a voice said, "Are you all right? That was a bad fall." I looked up and saw a boy about my age. He helped me up. "I haven't seen you at school. Do you live near here?" I asked. "No, I'm from Manchester," he said. "Listen! I have to go. Are you OK to walk home? Do you need help?" "No, I'm fine. Thanks!" I said, then the boy walked away.

Back home, Mum was watching the news.

"Hi, Grace. Have you heard about this boy, Mark?" she asked. "No, what boy?" I said. "A boy from Manchester. He's run away from home. Look! This is his dad."

There was a man on TV sitting next to a policeman. He was crying and looked as if he hadn't slept for days. Then they showed a photo of the missing boy. I knew him. It was the boy in the forest. He was Mark. "Should I say something? No, I mustn't say anything. Maybe he has a good reason. I have to talk to him first." I said to myself.

Thursday

I found Mark in the forest. I said, "Your dad was on TV last night. The police are looking for you." He looked shocked and asked, "Did you say anything? Have you told them?" "No," I said. "I wanted to talk to you first. Why have you run away?" He looked at the ground and said, "I had a big argument with my dad. My mum died four years ago. It was very hard for me and for Dad. But then he met someone new. Mel's her name. She wants my dad for herself and isn't interested in me. My dad keeps telling me to make an effort with her, but I can't. The night I ran away, he told me that we would all move to London because Mel's from London. But my grandpa and my friends are in Manchester. I don't want to move to London. We both got angry. So I took my tent and left in the middle of the night."

I felt sorry for Mark, but I thought of his dad crying on TV and felt sorry for him too. "What are you going to do?" I asked.

"I don't know. I need time to think," he replied. 

"    ▲        ."

My name is Bill.I took a trip to Ireland last weekend with my family.I didn't enjoy the trip because there were a lot of bad things.First，my brother forgot his passport （护照），and we missed our plane to Dublin in the morning.Mom wasn't very happy and blamed（责备） him.Luckily，there was a plane to Dublin in the afternoon and we got on that one.

When we took our things after getting off the plane，my dad's big bag wasn't there.The airline company （航空公司） said they would try to look for it.Then we took a bus to the camping place.We arrived late on Saturday evening，and we were very tired.We put up our tents in the evening，but in the middle of the night my tent fell down.I had to sleep in my sleeping bag.

The next morning，we went on a boat trip to an island （岛）.The trip took us two hours.When we arrived，it started to rain，so we sat in a small restaurant all morning，and then we took a boat back.It wasn't much fun!

I was very happy to get home.I was tired then.Looking back at our trip，I think we should be more careful and check （检查） if all our things are good next time.What's more，we should check the weather.
