Are you always happy during your vacation? Many people may say "yes". But last week I had a bad vacation.
My parents and I took a bus to the Great Wall We got on the bus at 7:00 a, m. But on the half way, there was something wrong with the bus. After an hour, it started again. It was about 11:00 a. m. when we got to the Great Wall.
We were excited when we stood on the Great Wall. My father took out the camera and wanted to take some photos. But just then, it started to rain. We had to go back to our bus. When we wanted to eat something, we found we left our food at home.
My name is Su Meng. I have a new online friend Zhang Kai. He studies in Sunshine Middle School in Beijing. It's a very large school. There are 3,500 students and 158 teachers in their school. But in our school, there are only 1,200 students and 45 teachers.
Zhang Kai's school life is very interesting. He has five lessons every day and I have eight. After class, he often goes to the Buddy Club first, because he can learn some life skills there. He likes the club very much. Every Friday afternoon, the students in their school have a soccer match. He isn't good at playing soccer, but he always goes to watch the matches.
But I can spend only about half an hour playing every day because I have to help my parents do the housework after class. And I have less time for studying than him. Every summer, I have six-week holiday but Zhang Kai has eight. I hope I can join some clubs like Zhang Kai. And I hope our school life is as interesting as his.
There are four people in my family. They're my grandfather, my parents and me. My grandfather exercises every day. He never uses the Internet. He eats vegetables three times a day, but he hardly ever drinks milk. And he watches TV every night. My father is a taxi driver.
He's very busy. He never exercises, but he sometimes surf the Internet. He watches TV on Saturday and Sunday evening. He often eats vegetables and drinks milk. My mother is a housewife (家庭主妇). She watches TV twice a day. She never uses the Internet. She sometimes eats vegetables, but she drinks milk three times a week. Exercise? Of course she does. She exercises every day by doing housework. I'm a middle school student. I go to school from Monday to Friday. I often exercise. But on Saturday and Sunday, I don't exercise because I have too much homework to do. I watch TV only on Sunday evening. But I surf the Internet twice a week. I drink milk every day, but I don't like vegetables. My mother often says to me, "Why do you eat so much meat, Mike? It's not good for your health." But I like it very much.
In Singapore, many school students spend a lot of time on their studies. People always think that good schooling is the key to success. So, many of these students try their best to get good results in their exams. They have a lot of homework every day and exams are usually a big problem to them. Sometimes, a few even have to go to evening classes after school because of the pressure（压力）of exams.
Students have many after-school activities to do at school, such as sports games, dance groups, swimming and rock-climbing. On weekends, they have enough free time to do what they like. Most students like to listen to pop music. Hollywood films, Hong Kong and Singapore films are very popular, too. Some of them also spend their free time surfing the Internet, e-mailing their friend, playing computer and video games. They sometimes go to cafes, fast food restaurants, shopping centers and big bookshops. They also join in community service（社区服务）.
So life for students in Singapore is not easy but rich and colorful.

Finally, the time came when my parents said, "Well, Margie, goodbye. Have a great time. And don't worry, we'll write to you often."
I had a bad feeling. I wanted (cry). But just then another girl of my age came up to me and (say), "Hi, are you Margie? I'm Tammy. My cabin is in the pines, too. Come on. Let's go to see the horses."
