Dear teacher :
I had a great time visiting the World
park in Beijing during the National Day.
At the beginning ,We went to Nanjing
to meet my grandma by coach on the
highway, then we flew to Beijing。The
sky was blue and we were all excited
during the whole trip.
In the World Park ,I saw many places of interest from many countries ,such as the Golden Gate Bridge ,the Egyptian pyramids,the Sydney Opera house , the Eiffel tower and so on .They are models but they are just like real ones! We also joined in the parade , singing and dancing !
What a wonderful day! I travel around the world in a day!!
