I had a very significant summer vacation this summer, the reason is that I went to the U.K. with New Oriental's summer camp. Days were really interesting those in the U.K.
U.K has a very long history, and there are a lot of pigeons all over the street. This summer, they hold the 30th Olympics. This was the third time that the U.K held the Olympics. Besides, London is the first city which has held the Olympics for three times!
This time, I had a great time there. My homestay has four members. Two kids of the family name Rihanna and Roddie. Both of them are girls. I think they are all very funny. Rihanna is three years elder than Roddie, she is six years old. Their mother names Lora, she is a very kind woman, and her husband is Ryan. He was always very friendly. Michael、Blord and me stayed there for a week. Certainly, there is something funny among us.
The funniest thing happened on me and Roddie. The reason is , Roddie very liked to play with me, so she followed me everywhere. But this seemed to be annoyed to me. One time, Rihanna told me a very useful method to let her leave me away-----scare her! So I tried this method. And it is very succeed. Actually, it is so successful that I made her cried. Then, something bad happen, her parents order me to say sorry to her. I was inculpable!!! From then on, I never scare her. So she began to annoy me, again… but one day, because she annoyed me too much, her mother, Lora said: "You want Tony to scare you, again?" then, she went away. Next time, she was still annoying me, I said: "you want me to scare you?" . But different from her mum did last time, she cried and cried, and went to found her mum to go to law against me. I wonder: why her mother said that, she didn't cry; But when I said it, it cried and went to tell her mum…… So from on, Blord and Michael always said this when Roddie annoyed them : "Run, run! Tony will scare you!" So every time, her mother was very "angry" with me. This was really funny!!!
And I also took the train in London, different from the Chinese, the train was clear and fast and quietly. I thought it was much better than which is in China. In London, I also found something that is great: The newspapers and some magazines in London were free. This was good. If the newspaper in China can also be free, how wonderful it will be. But I think this can't be true. Because I think Chinese are always very selfish. I f something is for free, they will get as much as they can get! Because of this, I found these in the U.K during this trip: there were a lot of warning or caution to tell people to be conscious in Chinese--only in Chinese. This means that people from all over the world know our Chinese are not conscious. I think this is scandalous to us!!!
Anyway, I studied a lot from this two-week trip: I went to the Manchester, London, Cambridge, Scotland, and also York. I visited the London, The Buckingham, the Windsor Castle, my favorite university---Cambridge…… I also learnt a lot of history of the U.K from my teacher and guide, they were all very friendly. Have to say, this trip was wonderful!!!
