There is a doctor in a small city. He is very kind. He often helps people. People always go to see him when there is something wrong with them.

A few years later, the doctor becomes old. He begins to forget things. People are afraid of him and don’t go there. The old doctor asks, “Why does no man come to me now?” No one wants to hurt him, and they don’t want to tell him the truth because they love him. So they all tell the old man, “Everyone is healthy now.” The old man is very pleased when he hears that.

There is a bad king and all his people hate him. One hot day, the king goes to swim by himself in a river. Suddenly he feels very week and can’t move his hands or legs. At this dangerous moment, two farmers are working in the field and see everything. Of course, the farmers don’t know the man in the river is a king. So the farmers jump into the river and save the king out of the water.

The king thanks the farmers and says, “I’m your king. Ask for anything, and I will give it to you.”

The first farmer says, “My father and mother are sick in bed, can you give me some money to send them to a doctor?” The king agrees. Then he asks the second farmer, “How about you? What do you want?”

The farmer looks worried and unhappy, “Don’t let the other people know I see you.”

I went to two cities to play during last summer holidays. They are Beijing and Hohhot.

I went to Beijing more than eight times. Beijing is the capital of China. It’s a big city. I am very familiar with Beijing. It takes an hour and forty minutes to travel from Nantong to Beijing by plane. There are many tall buildings in Beijing. My family visited the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Palace Museum, Beihai Park, the Space Museum and so on.

I went to the countryside of Beijing to go boating and fishing. It was very interesting. I like eating Beijing snacks. They are delicious. I also miss Beijing Duck. It is really nice.

Hohhot is in Inner Mongolia. There is lots of grassland there. The grassland is endless. The sky is bright blue. There are a lot of horses and sheep. They were running or eating grass when I got there. I rode a horse on the grassland. I picked some colourful flowers. We drank tea with milk. There is a small desert, it was very hot when I walked on it. The sand can sing.

These trips helped me open my eyes. I enjoyed my holidays.
