A summer trip

How did you spend your summer vacation last month?I'd like to tell you what happened to me during my vacation.

My parents planned a relaxing trip.We didn't need to worry about our work and studies.On the first day,before we started out for Shanghai,we saw on TV that the traffic was heavy.So we decided not to drive our car but to take the bullet train (高速火车) to Shanghai.It was the first time that I had ridden on the bullet train.

On the way,an American girl sat next to me and I talked to her.She told me that she came here for a short stay—her father came to China on business.In one year he would go back to his company in the US.“How are you getting along here?”I asked.“Pretty well.I enjoy the life here and the people are friendly，”she said.With new friends around,she still missed her friends in the US very much.“It doesn't matter.I could a lways connect with them by writing letters,e­mails or making phone­calls，”she said with a sweet smile.

I really envied (羡慕) her for her chance to go through life in different cultures.

Tibet (西藏) is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists.The number of travellers of Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years.Since July 1,2006,when the first train ran 1,956 kilometres from Xining to Lhasa,more and more people have been to Tibet.

The train stops at several famous places along the way,such as Qinghai Lake,Kunlun Mountain,and the Potala Palace.Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey,like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.

On the train,passengers can have tea,eggs and noodles for breakfast,and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner.Unlike most other Chinese trains which have open­hole toilets,this one has special toilets which can collect the waste.There is also a special rubbish system (系统) in the train that keeps the environment clean.All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight.TV and electrical sockets (插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.

Because there isn't much oxygen there,trains will have oxygen masks (氧气罩) for those who need them.It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous”roof of the world”.There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travellers are safe.

A.Qinghai Lake.      B.Karaoke.    C.Kunlun Mountain.   D.The Potala Palace.
