Last week, our family went to the countryside to have a picnic. We brought several sandwiches and some bottles of water with us. Of course we didn't forget to rake some fruit and we even took some tomatoes and cucumbers.

    We started out quite early before there was too much traffic. After 2 hours of driving, we came to a nice place. It was the foot of a hill with some large trees and a river beside it. As it was a very hot day, we parked the car under a big tree, and went for a swim in the river. The water was refreshing. After having a swim, we had lunch in the cool shade under the trees. The most popular foods are sausages and tomatoes.

    After lunch, we went for a walk. We saw some beautiful birds and butterflies. We smelled sweet air. After walking for about an hour, we returned to the car. However. We couldn't get the car started. Finally we had to push the car to the road and wait for help. Of course, the car breaking down spoiled(破坏)our picnic in the end.
