During the last summer holiday, my parents and I paid visit to my grandparents by train. There was a large number of people and the train was crowded, but everyone helped those who had lots of baggages and behaved politely. Along the way, we chatted happily and enjoyed beautifully views. At first, we saw one hill after other. Then which came into view were fields with green crops. In a six-hour trip, we arrived at my grandparents’house. Tired as I felt, but I was happy to see my grandparents，whom I haven't seen for a long time. It was really an excited trip because it was the first time that I had taken such a long-distance train.
