My Favourite Place
I have been to many places these years.An unforgettable place I have been to is Qingdao.
Last summer，my friends and I went to Qingdao. We had a great time there. Qingdao is a beautiful city. We did a lot of things there，such as swimming，boating and climbing mountains. We also visited the trestle. As a landmark landscape of Qingdao，it has its unique charm.
Qingdao is also famous for its food. The seafood there is really delicious. Qingdao has a very unique festival — Qingdao Beer Festival.
The most exciting thing is to see the sunrise. When the sun rose from the east，we cheered. For the first ray of sunshine in the morning，people always have different emotions. These emotions are the expectation of a new day and the final farewell to yesterday. I took many photos as well. They can be my best memories.扬州苏东坡中学2022-2023学年度第二学期期中考试

Tom Sawyer tried to cut the cupboard （橱柜）with the knife. Then it was the time for him to dress up. However, Tom didn't want to take the trouble to wash his face and hands. And Mary uncovered his secret and he had to use soap to wash his face again. The clean part was just like a mask on his face. Thanks to his own cousin Mary, Tom had become a different person. Finally, he got into his shoes.
Then, they went to Sunday School. Tom hated the school very much. When the children came to the school gate, Tom walked slower and asked another boy, "Bill, have you got a yellow ticket Soon after they reached a deal. Tom gave him a fishing hook and he got the yellow ticket. In the same way, he exchanged for some red tickets and some blue tickets.
In this school, the teacher had set a rule to encourage children to recite（背诵）the Bible: If he could recite two verses, the teacher would give him one blue ticket; ten blue tickets were equal to one red ticket; ten red tickets could be exchanged for a yellow ticket; if anyone could get ten yellow tickets, the teacher would give him or her a new Bible. Getting the thick book was the greatest honor for children. So they were busy reciting every day. To Tom, it's impossible, so he thought of a simple way. He exchanged his small things in other children's hands. In this way, he got many cards.
At the beginning of the class, the 35-year-old teacher made a daily speech. Tom was playing with the boys around him. He pulled a boy's hair and pinned（钉住）another, but when they turned around, he just read the book carefully, but the children began to talk noisily. Some children even began to fight. Suddenly, the room turned silent because some visitors came into the room. Three adults and one young girl entered.
To Tom's surprise, the little girl was just the angel". Tom thought of his meeting with the girl and the adventure in her garden. Among the visitors, the old man was somebody and all the teachers, men and women, made up to(讨好，奉承) him in many different ways.
Then it was the time to give prize to those children who had got ten yellow tickets. The room was quiet. Nobody had enough tickets. When hope was dead, Tom stood up with nine yellow tickets, nine red ones and ten blue ones. Then, children suddenly realized that they were cheated（欺骗） by Tom. The teacher didn't believe Tom could get so many tickets, but the number of tickets was exact（确切的）. The prize was given to Tom Sawyer and he was introduced to the old man.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read one page. Travelling the world can help us to better understand it. With this idea in mind, I began my journey to Yunnan.
When I reached the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. I felt the cold air. Even though it was summer, I felt like it was still winter there! The road to the top was so long and the weather was so foggy that it was hard to go on. I had to stop several times to take a small break. Finally, I reached the top with great excitement. Looking around, I could hardly believe my eyes. The mountain was covered in snow and shone like glass in the rising sun. And everything looked wonderful. Looking at the beautiful, natural sights. I felt smaller than an ant. What an amazing feeling!
After climbing the snowy mountain, I visited Lijiang, an old city with a history of about 800 years. When I walked on the stone path, it felt like walking through a long history step by step. Along the way, I noticed that the houses looked old and beautiful. I really love the city and its slow lifestyle.
