It was a day that I won’t forget forever: the first day of my 4-day graduation trip in senior high.
That morning, I was too excited to sleep in because of the graduation trip. Also I got up early lest I should be late. When I arrived at school with two of my classmates, what welcomed us was a group of tour buses. We got on our bus and greeted to our friends cheerfully. We felt good because we were going to be free from schoolwork for four days. Our excitement rose when the bus started off at 7 A.M. sharp.
On our way to the first destination, we took a lot of pictures on the bus. After the guide introduced herself, all of us started to do one of our favorite activities – singing the karaoke. But it didn’t last for a long time, our eyes became heavier and heavier. Some of us, me included, dropped off on the bus.
After a long time on the bus, we finally came to a museum which displays the special species in Taiwan. There are all kinds of rarely-seen animals. Next, we visited the historic Min-Shing Aacademy of Classical Learning. To our excitement, we found a strange-shaped item that can try our luck. It is said that if we can throw a coin at it, we can get into a good college. We didn’t hesitate for any minute and tried immediately. Guess what? We succeeded. “No one can do this for a long time!” Our guide yelled out.
Later, we arrived at a restaurant where we enjoyed our lunch. After lunch, we visited the famous Jiji train station. Jiji is a small town that tries their best to preserve old traditions and maintain architectures nicely. The ancient train station is a landmark in the town. We took pictures with all kinds of acts, and ate ice-lolly and rambled the stores around the station. Some of my classmates bought some souvenirs, but I thought it was extravagant. My mom would yell at me if I bought anything like that.
The last destination on the first day is Sitou Forest Recreation Park. They said walking in such a wonderful forest is great. Yeah, though it was tiring to walk a long distance in the forest, breathing the fresh air and the Pythoncidere let me feel totally carefree and refreshing.
In the evening, we felt tired but still excited. We finished our dinner, went to our hotel and checked in. Different from others, four classmates and I went to the swimming pool. Not only did we swim, but also we chatted with one another. We had a great time before going to bed. Around ten, we went back to our own rooms. As for me, to prepare the energy I need for the next day, I went to be at eleven. But, I was sure some of my roommates stayed up pretty late that night.
The first day was over. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep. Good night, my fist day.

That day, Alice asked us to do the exchange forms about the eating habit that we have in our country. First of all, we did our own eating habit forms and sent it to teacher. After that, on the next class, Alice showed us others’ forms, gave us a lot of advices and distributed us the different works of the exchange form and hope us to work hard on it. My work is to describe meals for most students in a school day. Though I think I need to be humble, I avow that I did a good job. Because I used my own words to integrate everyone’s idea into a common opinion that can express the pandemic students daily eating habit. That’s what I learn in this project. Also, I learn the skills of putting all kinds of information in order and organizing them clearly.
Besides, I think everyone understands in general that if we do the same thing by cooperative way, the efficiency is more streamlined and the work we have to do is lesser. So it seems that the group-working is very important for everyone, and I think is one of the things that Alice wants us to learn from it. Not only can we have cooperation in English homework like this one, but also can we have this way of learning in all the subjects. I learn how to work with others, and I think I really learn a lot form this work, how about you. I’d like to change my opinion with you^ ^.
