Last year, I went to a summer camp in the United States with my classmates. It was my first time to go abroad.

    I lived with a host family in Los Angeles for five days. My host family was friendly and gave me lots of advice. For example, they said I should say "excuse me" if I have to interrupt (打断) someone or ask for directions.

    I also took some classes. They were different from the classes I had had back home. In the US, each class is like a seminar. Students join groups, speaking freely and creating a cheerful atmosphere (氛围). I had to work hard to learn more vocabularies, so I could better communicate with my international classmates. I used to pay little attention to my word usage (使用), but now I pay more attention.

    During my visit, I also went to some famous universities in Boston, New York and Washington, D. C. We learned about the history behind the universities. At MIT (麻省理工学院), we saw lots of names on a wall in the hall. The tour guide told us they were the names of students who had lost their lives during wars. I was inspired (鼓舞) by the fact that they fought for their country.

    I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly (相当地) easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

    One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.

    It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann. played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe. I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards. I smiled confidently. Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

Richard is a trader and he is very mean (吝啬) with his money. One day, Richard went to a noodle house for lunch. He asked, "How much is a bowl of beef noodles?" The boss answered, "8 dollars." Richard asked again, "What about the beef soup?" "For free." said the boss. Richard said at once, "OK! Give me a bowl of soup, please." After drinking, Richard wiped (擦) his mouth and left. 

Richard came to drink the free soup in the following three days. That made the boss a little angry. On the fifth day, when Richard came for the free soup again. The boss said angrily, "Today the prices are not the same as before. 8 dollars for noodles and 16 dollars for the soup!" Richard thought for a while and said, "OK! I need a bowl of beef noodles and an empty bowl."

The boss gave Richard what he ordered. To his surprise, Richard poured the soup into the empty bowl and only ate the noodles. Then he said to the boss, "I had a bowl of noodles for 8 dollars, but I didn't drink the soup. Now you have to give me 8 dollars back."

Hello, I'm Li Hua.

A. It is placed perfectly.

B. That's because trust is key to their success.

C. After the tour, we were lucky enough to interview two great riders.

D. It was from May 3rd to May 5th.

E. How do you make the horse jump?

F. What attracted me most was the judge's box.

I was amazed by the 2024 Shanghai Longines Global Champions Tour （上海浪琴环球马术冠军赛）.

After arriving at the equestrian （马术）centre, we first had a guided tour. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}In many sports, the judges' seats are usually placed in a point to help them clearly watch and score the performances. However, in equestrian events, judges often work from a single room, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It can offer the judges a clear view of the competition.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}As we are interested in equestrian sports, we had a lot of questions: How do you keep a good relationship with a horse? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They patiently answered all of our questions. They said if you treat the horse as a friend and trust it, it will do better in the competitions. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Time flew and the wonderful journey ended. However, now, every time I think of it, I have a picture in my mind of a young boy racing with his horse, with a line of trust.
