Sam's dad told camping stories all through dinner. "Once I saw a snake outside my tent. Did I tell you about that?" Sam shook his head and tried not to look impatient. In fact, he really wanted to get out to the tent in the backyard (后院). His friend, Kent would go there.

    Finally, everyone finished dinner. Sam asked if he could go out. "I think you should help do the dishes first," said Mom. Sam washed all the dishes and helped clean the kitchen, and then he ran to the tent.

Kent was waiting for him. "Have you been waiting long?" asked Sam.

    "Not long,"said Kent. "Oh, well, we're here now. Let's get ready." "Ready for what?" asked Kent.

    "For anything that is going to happen," answered Sam. They played cards for some time in the tent. Then they read some books. After that, Sam told some of his dad's camping stories. When they got tired, they turned out the light ( 灯) and listened for noises in the dark. But they didn't hear any noises for a very long time ...

    Finally, Sam heard something at the tent flap ( 帐篷门帘). He felt very scared and kept his eyes closed.

    "Hey, get up, boys! Breakfast is ready." It was Sam's mom.

    Sam opened his eyes and looked at Kent. He was still sleeping. Sam sighed (叹息道), "We slept through the night, and nothing happened!"

    Chen Zhelun, 25, a Malaysian-Chinese started the diabolo club, which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country's cultural heritage (遗产) by {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    The diabolo, which came from China, is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia.

    "We played diabolo from primary school onward. I thought I could find someone {#blank#}3{#/blank#}in China, but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop it," says Chen.

    To Chen's surprise, the old game has interested a huge crowd—more than 1,000students have joined the club.

    "It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}and it's fun," says Chen.

    But some prefer quieter activities. Every weekend, one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded, but it's unusually silent. The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes.

    As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club, Kong Yanquan plans to put modern elements (元素) into traditional culture to get students to join his club.

I studied in China for six years. After that I attended school in 1 . There are two teachers I remember the most. 

When I 2  to Canada, I couldn't even order food on the flight. After two months on an ESL (English as a second language) course, I got my first 3  card. My mark in English was only 65. I couldn't 4  what would be said at the parent-teacher interview. 

"I am amazed at how his English has 5  so fast, " Mrs Franceschini said to my parents. "On his first day, he was very shy and only used 6  words. Now he can answer and ask questions by using complete sentences. "7  many other Chinese parents, my mum asked if she could give me extra homework. "Don't worry. Richard is already working very hard. Richard, you did a good job. I am 8  of you!" Mrs Franceschini said to me. 

Back in Shanghai, my teacher Miss Li was very 9 . I was nervous to take parents to the interview. 

Miss Li told my parents, "Feng Yu is doing pretty well. But because of his 10 , he lost three points in maths. "

I thought she was being harsh(严厉的) to me. But 11  I was about to leave, I realised Miss Li was very 12 . She hosted a party for me and gave me a big card. "Feng Yu, you are my best student. I 13  you a successful life, "she wrote. "If you want to have a talk or need any help, I am 14  here for you. "

Miss Li and Mrs Franceschini are both great teachers, just in different ways. One 15  my learning abilities and the other gave me tons of confidence.
