A man went into his doctor's room.

“I want you to give me the medicine to make me clever,” the man told his doctor. His doctor agreed to do it.

A week later. the man came back. “Still don't feel clever.” he said.

“Keep taking this medicine, come back next week, and you will become clever,” said the doctor.

“I still don't feel clever, are you playing a joke on me?” the man said the next time he came, “Do you really have this kind of medicine?”

“Now you're clever.” said the doctor.

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.

The Huangpu River is the mother river of Shanghai. It starts in Lake Dianshan, Qingpu. Most of the water in Lake Dianshan comes from Tai Lake. The Huangpu River is about 114 km long. It is an important waterway in Shanghai. It runs through Qingpu, Songjiang. Jinshan, Fengxian, Minhang, Pudong, Xuhui, Huangpu and so on. The Huangpu River meets the Suzhou River in Huangpu and then runs through Yangpu and Baoshan. Then it runs into the Yangtze River and finally it runs into the sea. The Huangpu River is very beautiful and important. Everyone should keep it clean.
