In July, my friend Jim and I are going to have a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of Canada.

    We decided to go camping because we didn't have to spend much money in that way.

    We had to make our plan very carefully. First, the car we are going to drive is very small, so we decided to take only one small suitcase(皮箱) each and as few camping things as possible (尽可能的). We will take some medicine with us to stop insects(昆虫) from hurting us, and also food for outdoor meals. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we had to decide on which way we wanted to drive before we started.

    All of this planning took a long time.

    The date we are leaving is July 2nd. We want to see and do many things on our camping tour. We want to climb the hills and swim in cool rivers and lakes. We want to go sightseeing in many cities and talk to many people. We also want to find a hotel room if it rains at night. We hope to have an exciting and interesting trip.

    Norman Bethune was a famous Canadian doctor. In 1938, he came to China. Here is a story about him in China. It was October 20, 1939. Dr Bethune was busy working in a hospital. A man came and told Dr Bethune that he needed a lot of doctors. Immediately, Dr Bethune started out with some doctors. Dr Bethune took the wounded(受伤的) men into a small place and began to work. He went on working all the night. He had no time to think about taking a rest. The next day, a young man ran in and said to the doctors, "A few hundred enemy soldiers (敌兵）are coming." But Dr Bethune still went on with his work. Twenty minutes later, when Bethune was working on the leg of the last soldier, the guns (枪）sounded closer. Again the young man rushed in and told Dr Bethune not to work anymore. Dr Bethune, you must go now !" he cried. "Please go, Dr Bethune," said the wounded soldier himself. "Never mind, my boy. It won't take long," said Dr Bethune. "If I spend a few more minutes on it now, I. can save your leg. But if I don't, you'll lose it." The guns sounded even closer now, but Dr Bethune worked on. After he finished his work, he and other doctors left. As Bethune and the other doctors were climbing the hills, they could see the enemies going into the village.

Hello, my name is Li Ming. I am making a birthday chart for my family.

My birthday is in June. My mother's birthday is in June. My grandpa's birthday is in June. My grandpa is in America. He lives with Uncle Bill and Aunt Mary. So I usually send him an e- card on his birthday.

There are two birthdays in November, my father's and Cousin Alice's. Alice likes dolls, so I often send her some beautiful dolls.

My grandma's birthday is in April. It is very warm and nice in April. When her birthday comes, we often go hiking.

This is my chart, I love my family.
