An unforgetable festival
An unforgetable festival for me was National Day last year. On October 1st last year my grandparents, my parents and I went to Hongxing Farm by car.
Hongxing Farm is about 50 kilometers away from our house. My father drove us there. It took us about fifty minutes. When we arrived there, we saw some farmers picking apples. We helped them pick lots of apples in the morning. I felt those apples were so delicious. In the afternoon, farmers planned to grow wheat. They taught us how to grow wheat. How excited we were! Though all of us were tired, we were happy.
I will remember the trip forever. It tells me that food is not easy to get, so we must put an end to waste.
