Amy, a college student, lives in a flat in an old community. The community has many problems. First, there is only a small shop in it, so the people there have to do some shopping in the supermarket faraway. Second, there aren’t any gardens or parks in the community. The environment (环境) is not good. Third, most of the sports equipment (设备) there is broken. No one comes to fix it. People cannot exercise. All in all, it is not good to live in a community like that.

She dreams that the community has a big supermarket, a hospital and a school. The neighbours are kind and helpful, and she can make many friends there.

Many people do not like to stay at home on holiday. They want to do something exciting. So people from the country go to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. It’s very hard to buy train or air tickets. Many people take cars or buses for travelling.

Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holiday. There was too much traffic on the road, so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a farm. It’s clean and beautiful. The animals were very lovely, we thought it was a nice place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down under a big tree and began to eat. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and had our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a bad trip it was!

Peter always doesn’t know the way. His friends often laugh at him. They say he needs a map to find the bathroom in his own house. In his eyes, every street looks the same, and he doesn’t know which way to go. Sometimes he has to take a taxi home because he can’t remember the way to his house.

Peter watches a lot of films and reads a lot of books about animals. Each bird knows which way is south. Bats (蝙蝠) can fly at night and find their way with their ears. He feels embarrassed (困窘的) because all these animals have a good sense of direction. He tries to find his way with the help of stars in the sky.
