    A few weeks ago, my school's ninth grade class went on a trip to the Black Country in England to learn about geography and history.

    Many believe the name comes from the 1840s because of the soot(煤烟) put out by factories at that time. There is also a 10-meter-thick coal seam(煤层) close to the ground's surface in Black Country.

    The aim of this trip was to prepare us for a geography project about rivers. We also learned more about the history of England during the Industrial Revolution(工业革命).

    On the first day of our trip, we went to Carding Mill Valley near Birmingham and learned about the changes that can happen to a river as it flows downstream. Our teacher had given us a few lessons on how rivers work before the trip, so we were well-prepared for the project we had to do.

    The next day, we went to the famous Black Country Museum where we learned about coal mining(开矿;采矿) and the lives of the people who lived during the Industrial Revolution. A highlight of the day was when we visited a coal mine and watched a skilled craftsman(工匠) make iron chain links.

    The trip was truly satisfying. I like how we got the opportunity to experience what we learned in class and practice it in real life. It was a useful way to get us more interested in what we were learning about. It also showed us the importance of the journey while learning something new.
