C.Summer camp is a long﹣standing tradition for many kids.You'll spend a lot of time outside and that usually means getting hot and sweaty,so dressing right at summer camp is really important.Remember to bring light colored clothing,dress in layers for changing temperatures,wear comfortable shoes and plan for rain.

8. Last week,we did a survey about how students spend their pocket money among 600 students in Junior Two in our school.We found that 35% of the students spend money on books and 35% on entertainment equipment.25% of the students prefer to spend money on gifts for their friends and 5% use money to buy clothes,snacks and drinks.
So how to spend pocket money more meaningfully?I think it is not right for students to spend too much money on snacks.Snacks are not good for their health.Instead,students should spend more money on books.Besides,students should learn to save money and spend it properly.;
