Chongyang Festival is on the ninth (第九) day of the ninth month every year. Do you know how it comes? Here is the story about it.
Once there is a man called Huan Jing. He learns from his teacher Fei Changfang. One day, Fei Changfang tells Huan Jing, “On the ninth day of the ninth month, your parents are going to be ill. You must go home now. Make two red bags for your parents and put some dogwood (山茱萸) on the door. Then take the red bags in your hands, and climb the mountain (山) near your house. You can stay on the mountain until (直到) the next day. Then your parents can be OK.”Huan Jing listens to his teacher and goes home. He asks his family to do all those things. This saves his parents. Huan Jing is very happy.
Many people hear of it. They also do those things on this day. Then it becomes a tradition now.

The capital city of Italy, Rome, is a very special place to visit. The people there are very friendly.
The cafes are very popular in Rome. They are always crowded with happy Italians and some visitors from other places.
Bus is the main transportation there. But buses are a little different from ours. They are small in size, with the colour of dull blue, and they had only a few seats. Italians also love to go around on their motor scooters (小型摩托车). So in the streets in Rome, you can see lots of motor scooters and buses. There are many
car accidents in Rome and it’s very common to see one in the street. When two people have a car accident, they often solve (解决) the problem themselves and then drive away.
Rome is an exciting place to visit. You’ll love this special trip.

Last year I travelled to Finland. I enjoyed the time in the plane because I knew a friendly man there. He was from Italy, but we had no problem communicating with each other. We both talked in English.
When I got to Finland, I visited Espoo, Oulu, Lahti and Tampere. The people there were very friendly. I also spent a lot of time in Helsinki — the capital of Finland. People also called it the daughter of the sea. It was very clean. There I watched the Baltic Sea. It was very beautiful. One night, I went to the theatre to see a very interesting local play. Everything was OK but the sun, because the sunset (日落) there was too early.
I had a very nice time in this country and I want to travel to it again.
