My Mountain Vacation

 Last summer, my family went to the mountains for vacation.

Beautiful Sights

Quite a few green mountains stood around the small town. The air was fresh. We saw something special: many lovely plants and colourful butterflies. No one felt bored there.

Daily Activities

In the daytime, we went hiking. Sometimes we watched small wild animals. We also helped local villagers feed hens. Few visitors came to this quiet place.

Everyone there was friendly. They told us some old stories. We tried delicious local food. We didn’t buy anything special because there were few shops in the town.

We all enjoyed this trip very much. We hope to visit it again someday.

Dear Mr. White,

I’m Li Jia from Grade Eight. Our class did a survey about plants and animals in our school garden. Many classmates say the garden is the most peaceful place in our school. It has the tallest trees and the most colourful flowers. But some small wild animals have fewer places to live now. We hope our school can do something to protect them. We want to hold a small activity for students to learn about local plants and animals.

Most students expect this activity. It can be one of the most meaningful activities for us. I am writing this letter respectfully for you to think about our idea.

Sincerely,

Li Jia
