Saturday, June 16th
In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, 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.
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 small compass (指南针) 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 to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted 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 had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success 46 only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways 47 not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and 48 surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really 49 because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I 50 joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I 51 won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a 52 artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the 53 I produced were not of a very high standard.
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky 54 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 55 makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
