The new school term began. Lily, Tom, Lucy, and Jack sat together in the classroom. They talked happily about their summer vacations.
Lily
I love painting. Last month, I went to a small town in France with my parents. The lavender（薰衣草）fields there were so beautiful. I took my drawing book and paints, drew many nice pictures and took photos with local people. I felt so proud when I showed my paintings to my friends.
Tom
I'm a big sports fan. I went to a basketball camp in Beijing. The camp lasted three weeks. Coaches taught us basketball skills like passing and shooting. I even met my favourite basketball player!
It made me so excited that I couldn't wait to talk about it with my friends.
Lucy
I really enjoy reading b
myself and I didn't go out for vacation. I joined the summer reading club at the city library. There were many good books. I finished reading and learned some basic science knowledge. I'm not as outgoing as my elder sister, but she went with me sometimes and helped me with hard parts. I smiled a lot when I shared these things.
Jack
My vacation was different. My uncle has a farm in the countryside. I spent a month there. I fed chickens, picked fresh strawberries, and learned to grow vegetables. I got tired of staying at home and playing video games so this farm trip made me relaxed and happy.
