This summer, my family and my aunt's family went to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in Canada. We spent most of the time hiking(徒步).

    One day, we hiked to a popular hiking way in Canada. Everything is beautiful. My cousin and I saw lots of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}animals like squirrels(松鼠) and chipmunks(花栗鼠). Surprisingly we saw a chipmunk with dirty hands. His hands were {#blank#}3{#/blank#}of berry juice! My cousin and I named it Jairo. We {#blank#}4{#/blank#}that Jairo was a very clever chipmunk. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#}us the whole time. My cousin said, "Do you want to shake {#blank#}6{#/blank#}with him?" So I held out my hand. I could {#blank#}7{#/blank#}believe it when he touched my hand! It was the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}time in my life I had touched a wild animal. I did it! What an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}moment!

    At that moment, I believed that animals could be friends. People and animals should live together {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    "Oh, poor{#blank#}1{#/blank#}tree!" a bird said," You shouldn't have asked the man to cut down the trees. The tall trees protected you{#blank#}2{#/blank#}you didn't worry about heat or wind and rain. Time went by and you have{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. When you get tall and strong, you can have enough strength to fight against the Sun and the storms. So I don't think you should do that."

    After{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the words of the bird, the little tree felt regretful(后悔的).

    How are you spending your next vacation? No plans? Then {#blank#}1{#/blank#} going to an English language school, in the United States or the United Kingdom? Many schools have short lessons for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of all ages, from seven to seventy years old!

    Foreign students can stay in school buildings or with {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there. Living with a family can be fun and can really help you learn.

    Just think you'll get two hours a day of breakfast and dinner conversation with English-speaking people! That will help you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} your English a lot.

    Classes are usually small with eight to ten students. For most afternoons you can go swimming, play soccer and do{#blank#}5{#/blank#} outdoor sports. You'll have fun at the same time!
