1、 You have? Where did you go? A: Mount Tai.ve been there too. Its one of Chinas most beautiful mountains. Therere many scenic spots and places of historical interest. I was greatly impressed by its natural beauty when I took a study tour there two years ago. It really is a very beautiful tourist attr
2、action. But we went there as campers, not as tourists. It was a study program organized by our local community committee. I bet you had lots of fun there. Yes, it was a wonderful experience. You know it was the first time Id been to a summer camp in five years, and it brought back such sweet memorie
3、s. Were there any other camping groups when you were there? Not when we arrived at the foot of the mountain. But soon we were joined by many similar camping groups from other cities. By the time we arrived at the campsite, night had fallen. And we were so happy to see that the campers who arrived th
4、ere the day before were giving a performance by the campfire. You remind me of my last trip there. I wish I had been there with you this time. What did you do at the summer camp? Oh, lots of things. Most of the time we studied plants, rocks, insects. things like that. We also had lots of fun, hiking

I remember my summer camp was subdivided into what we called hobby groups, such as the music group, the drama group, an

We had a number of hobby groups for campers with varied interests. We called them project groups because each group worked on a particular p
7、roject. At the completion of their projects, each group presented their fruits to all the campers. Some gave oral reports, some staged an exhibition, and others put on a performance. You had a marvelous time this summer! Your story has really brought back happy memories of my own camping experience.
