flight is late.

plane left a bit late too! But the pilot
succeeded in landing on time. Then
we took a boat to Lantau Island and
went to Disneyland. It was great fun!
Lingling: How about you, Betty

toured the city by bus and by taxi. Last
weekend, we took a tour by coach to the
Summer Palace and went for a long
walk around the lake.

better get back to work. We’re going
to have a big exam at the end of the
