When people travel abroad(国外), they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay.

    I am living with an old English couple, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.

    There are some shopping centres and a restaurant next to the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to take an underground to the centre of London.

    I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and ready to help. If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about their culture and customs.

I'm Mike I'm a middle school student. I learn many subjects in school. 我最喜欢的科目是科学 The science teacher Mrs Green, is my friend Jill's mother. She is nice and she teaches very well.

    I like maths because I think it is so interesting. I always do very well in the maths

    Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} or do something exciting. So people from the country go to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . Many people take cars or buses for travelling.

    Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holidays. There was too much traffic on the road,  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a farm. It was clean and beautiful. The animals were very cute, and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and had our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. We had a trip like this. How bad it was.
