A sample version: A few days ago, I traveled by bus to meet a friend of mine who now lives in another city. That morning, I got up very early and after having a wash, I hurried to the bus station. Luckily, there were still some seats left. I bought the ticket and seated myself in the bus. I listened to my MP3 and expected the bus to start. At last, the bus was on its way. I looked out of the window and enjoyed the scenery on the way. Sometimes, I talked with other passengers about the changes taking place in these years. After about two and a half hours, I reached my destination. I said goodbye to others and got off the bus.

Sample version 1: My First Family Holiday

The first family holiday I can remember was when I was five. We all went to Dalian for our holiday. At six o’clock in the morning, we went to the railway station and took a train to Dalian. It took us six hours to get there.

When we got there, we first settled in a hotel. Then we went out to look for a restaurant to have a meal. The next morning, we took a bus to the seaside. My parents went swimming while I played on the beach with buckets and spades. At lunchtime, we ate marine food by the seaside. At night, we went to the entertainment room.

We all had a lovely holiday and didn’t want to go home from our first holiday. Then my parents promised me we would have more holidays.

Sample version 2: My First Train Ride

Last summer holiday my parents and I went to Qingdao by train. Early in the morning that day we went to the supermarket and bought a lot of drinks and food because the things on the train are very expensive. Then we took a taxi to the railway station. At about 8:30 we got on the train. The train was comfortable. On the train some passengers were playing cards, some were talking and some were walking around. I even saw a foreigner talking with a Chinese student to practice his Chinese.

I sat near the window and a pretty girl sat opposite me. After a while we knew each other well and we talked happily. I sometimes looked out of the window and enjoyed the scenery on the way. After a long time I fell very tired, so I fell asleep with the sound of “click, click”.

At about 8:00 pm we got to Qingdao, where we had a good time. But I will never forget my first train ride, which was very comfortable and exciting.

Sample version 3:

The Most Unusual Journey

Last month, our class made a journey to visit Martyrs’ Tombs on the top of Niu Touzhai. That was the most unusual journey I’ve made in my life.

That morning, our headmaster gathered the whole class at the gate of school and told us some rules when we got there. It took us 20 minutes to walk there. When we got to the bottom of the mountain, the guide first explained the deeds that the martyrs did during the war, then he guided us to visit the exhibition of tools which the martyrs had used and some photos during the war. After that we went to the top of the mountain, where there were tombs. In front of the tombs is a tower, which is nearly 20 meters high. The natives called it “the Key Tower” because it looks like a key.

In the evening, we went back to our school. Although we felt tired, we learned a lot from this unusual journey. All of us felt we must value our happy life. Sample version 4: The Best Journey of My Life

I have made a lot of journeys in my life. But the journey to a forest to study the wildlife is the best journey in my life.

Last Monday our class went on an organized trip to a forest to study the wildlife. We traveled by bus. It took us two and a half hours to get to the forest. When we arrived, we were given printed question papers. We had to fill in the answers.

The purpose of this trip was to record all the wildlife and plants that we could find in the forest. The gate into the forest was open, so we entered it. We all started to look for new types of plants. At noon all of us had found some new plants. After we had our picnic lunch in the forest, we all went off separately to look for new plants. At

5:00 we started walking back to the entrance to the forest. All of us felt happy. Step IV Homework Finish Exercises 16 and 17 on P84.
