I am sure you won’t be disappointed.” said a teacher during a school meeting last term.
After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago. As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family(寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them, too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben, the London Bridge, and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

Baby kangaroos (袋鼠) are called joeys. While grown kangaroos can be as tall as people, newborn joeys are as small as beans and weigh just a gram or two. A newborn joey is hairless and its eyes are closed. As soon as a joey is born, it climbs into its mother’s pouch (育儿袋). It stays there and drinks milk there for months. During this time its eyes open, and it grows hair. Soon it looks less like a bean and more like a small kangaroo.
At about four months old, a joey begins peeking out (微露出) of its mother’s pouch. It stays in the pouch to drink its mother’s milk, but it also starts to learn about the outside world. Sometimes when its mother eats grass, a joey will taste the grass, too.
When a joey is about six months old, it begins to take short trips away from its mother. It learns to jump but quickly returns to its mother’s pouch.
By the time it is eight months old, it is able to leave the pouch and stand on its own. Over the next few months the joey will spend more time out of the pouch. But it will still come back sometimes and put its head into the mother’s pouch to have a drink.
