nouns to form adjectives.

Make up a story
Yesterday, the students in Class 8, Grade 8 went on a trip to Shanghai by bus. We met at the school gate at 6:00 a.m. We were really cheerful on the bus, but the trip seemed endless. We arrived in Shanghai at 8:00 a.m. and visited many places of interest there. The flowers in the park were colourful and beautiful. We met a helpless boy who had lost his way. We helped him find his parents and Miss Zhang thought we were helpful. We had lunch in a tasteful restaurant . We got home at 5:00 p.m. I thought it was a useful and meaningful experience.
