“I'm very sorry,” said the man of the hotel, “but our lifts(电梯) do not work tonight. If you do't want to walk up to your room, I'll make beds for you in the hall(大厅). ”
“No, thanks,” said Tom, “we don't want to sleep in the hall. We will walk up to the 45^th floor. But I know how to make it easier. On the way to our room, I'll tell you some jokes. Then you, David, will sing us some songs. Then you, John, will tell us some stories, all right?”
So they began to walk upstairs. Tom told them many jokes. David sang them some songs. At last they came to the 34^th floor. They were tired and had a rest.
“Well,” said Tom. “Now it's your turn, John. After all these jokes and songs, tell us a long and interesting story with a sad ending. ”
“OK, I'll tell a sad story,” said John, “It's not long but very sad. I forgot to bring the key to our room with me. It's still in the hall. ”

      In the morning , we went camping in Green Nature Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. However, in the afternoon , when we finished our picnic(野餐), it was dark and windy. Soon ,there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide(藏身).
      Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining .There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(野营地). It was even worse that our compass showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
    We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent(帐篷) to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up it . Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep up warm. But we couldn't as everything was wet. We dried ourselves and waited inside the tent. At about five o'clock , it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us were tired.
    This camping trip may not be successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I've learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit(精神).
