Last year, my husband and I decided to visit New Zealand. We wanted to tour the country, but we both hate long car journeys. Our travel agent advised a 13-day coach trip (长途客车旅行). It was a good price, so we booked (预订) it and our plane tickets to Christchurch. We made a good choice. The coach journeys passed quickly and our driver told us about each place. We learned a lot from him.
We flew from London to Christchurch and had a free day there before the coach trip started. We weren’t at all , so we walked around the city from morning to night. It has good museums, many restaurants and lovely shops.
The most unforgettable place we visited on the trip was Queenstown. We had three days there, but it wasn’t enough. We did lots of things there, from sailing (乘船航行) to climbing. At the end of each day, we felt we had no energy (精力) at all. But the next morning it seemed that everything was fresh again!
All the hotels we lived in were good. My favorite one was the Puka Park Lodge. It was on a hill above a beach and there were trees everywhere. We woke up and listened to the birds singing. Now, when we’re eating breakfast at home and we hear the noise of the traffic (路上行驶的车辆), we think of those beautiful mornings in New Zealand!

In order to encourage us to protect the environment, our school organized a theme activity in Yingze Park last Sunday. All the students and teachers in Grade 8 took part.
In the morning, the students had a speech competition. They talked about many ways to protect the environment. They suggested, for example, we should stop pouring dirty water into the river. In the afternoon, the students and teachers cleaned up the park.
I think this activity is meaningful. Have you ever taken part in such an activity? If not, I hope you can have a try.
