Joe Chiu. working on such study trips in China, said that just two years ago.73% of he participants(参与者) were middle school and high school students; only 11% of them were primary school(小学) students 2 That's because most Chinese parents think it's good for their children to go abroad when they are young They want their children to see a different world. 3 Zhan Fuman, a 14- year-old girl from Guangzhou,spent 15 days in Australia last year, it wasn't her first study trip abroad.

We all expected(期待) a wonderful two-day holiday.在路上，我们不停地唱歌、大笑。 However, in the afternoon, when we finished our lunch at one o'clock, it was dark and windy. Soon it rained. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran around but we could find no place to stay in. Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(营地).It was even worse that our small compass(指南针) showed that we were in the wrong way. We lost our way. We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could put up a tent to hide in. So Mary and Tom helped to put up the tent while Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. We dried ourselves and waited inside the tent. At about five o'clock, the rain finally stopped. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us were very tired. This camping trip may not be so enjoyable but it made us know each other better. And the mos important thing I learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit(团队精神). 1. Please translate the underlined sentence into English. 2.
