Dear Emma,

    I have a problem and I need your help. My parents are really{#blank#}1{#/blank#}and never let me do anything! For example , when I go out with my friends , my mom always asks ,” Where are you going? Who are you going with ? “ Two months ago , I got an earring and my father was really angry. He made me take it out. My parents want to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}everything I do . But I'm 18 years old! I try to talk to my mom and dad , but they don't listen. They say , “This is our house and these are our{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.” Every time I hear this , I'm very unhappy .{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, we have a fight . Why is it so hard for them to understand me?

    It was Sunday. The weather was very fine. The students of Class One {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for a picnic. They went by bus with fruit, vegetables, meat, cookers and some other things.

    At about half past ten, they {#blank#}2{#/blank#} at the foot of a hill. There was a big lake and many green trees. Birds were singing and the air was very clean. The students began to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} for the lunch. Some of the students were getting water from the lake. Some were washing vegetables and fruit. At about twelve o'clock the lunch was ready.

    The food was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. After lunch, they had a great time singing, dancing, drinking and talking. At three o'clock they began to climb the hill. The hill was very tall, but they all tried to climb to the top(顶部) of it. On the top of the hill, they felt very excited.

    There are many interesting places there, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the Olympic Park, the Geziwo Park and the Tiger Rock Park. In the Olympic Park, there are some athletes' statues (运动员的雕像) and champions' fingerprints (冠军的手印) and footprints. Everything in the park is about the Olympics. The Geziwo Park {#blank#}2{#/blank#}famous because it is one of the best places to watch the sunset (落日). Thousands of people go to watch the sunset every day. People can also see different kinds of birds. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#}ourselves in Beidaihe. After the trip, we are hoping for the next holiday.
