Last year, Bob visited Vancouver, Canada alone. He went there to give a talk on the environment. When it was over, he traveled to the Rocky Mountains and stayed in the Maple Leaf Hotel. He then took a short walk to look at the local (当地的) plants in the forest. After a few hours, he knew he took the wrong way, but was sure he could get back to the hotel.
However, after walking for several hours the next day, Bob knew he was in trouble. “I had my mobile phone, but the battery (电池) was almost dead. I could probably make just one call. But I didn’t know the number of my hotel and I didn’t want to worry my family unless I really had to,” said Bob. He went on walking for three more days. He knew which plants he could eat and he had little trouble finding them.
On the fourth day, he knew it was hopeless and decided to call his family. “He was quite calm when he spoke to me on the phone,” said Shirley, Bob’s wife (妻子). “He seemed to be in control of the situation.” Shirley called the Maple Leaf Hotel at once. “That week lots of visitors went to the city to watch basketball games, and we thought Mr. Rigsby went there too,” said the hotel owner. As soon as Shirley phoned, the hotel sent out some people to look for Bob. They found him about one hour later, and luckily he was quite unhurt.
“I will never go to the forest without a guide. I never want an experience like that again,” said Bob.

I’m David. When I was 13, my parents decided that I should go to England to improve my English. I had never been to other countries before, so I felt a little worried. My parents prepared everything for my journey. My plane was due (预期) to leave at 9:30 a.m. and arrive in two hours. I phoned the English family who I would stay with and they told me they would wait for me at the airport (机场).
Unluckily my plane to London was delayed (延误). I tried to phone the English family again but I couldn’t speak to them because they had already left home for the airport.
When I arrived in London, it was already 1:30 p.m. I went to get my luggage (行李) but I couldn’t find it. I became very worried. Luckily, the airport staff (工作人员) was very helpful and efficient. I didn’t wait long — they found it 10 minutes later.
My English family were still waiting for me! I was so happy! Then my new life in London began. My English family were quite kind. I learned a lot of English because I spent most of the day talking in English. I played computer games with the little boy in my English family. I also taught him how to play chess. Sometimes I told him stories I learned from my family.
I missed my family during my stay in London, but I also felt sad when my stay there came to an end. My English family held a party for me. I enjoyed it very much. I’ll never forget that summer in London! It is one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had.
