Summary:
In Lisa Resper’s article “Adults enjoy summer camp, too,” she points out that the summer camps can help adults to relax and reduce their stresses from their job but also from their children. First of all, the summer camps help adult to reduce pressure and remind them of childhood. Second, people love to join the many kinds of summer camps with their children such as music camp, archaeology camps and comedy camps. They can play music, learn photography skills and enjoy funny comedies in there, but it will cost much money. Even if the economy is decreasing, a lot of people still join the summer camps because it can help them to remember their past.

Reaction:
Although the economy is decreasing now, a lot of people still join the summer camp. In China, thousands of people join the summer camps even if the temperature is increasing and the economy is decreasing. Chinese news has discovered that Chinese people can play a computer a whole day in room and work their tasks a whole day in the office. If people still focus on activity in inside, they will be unhealthy. Moreover, Chinese people started to do climbing mountains, riding a bicycle, playing a game and taking pictures of insect and seeing views of the mountains with friends or families. I like to play outside because it can make my mood become better. If I get too heavy stress, I will become crazy and want to kill myself. So, summer camp is very necessary because it can make us happy.

The Most Surprising Thing

What is the most surprising thing happened to me? When I herad this question I want to laugh, because it let me remember a very interesting things. One day I want to go to my grandmother's house with my cousin, so we went to there by car. But unfortunatly, we get a accident, another car hit my cousin's car. My cousin and I were very uncomfortbale, so we argue with another driver. Everyone become steamed up about this argue,so the discussion deteriorated into a bitter quarrel.My cousin and the driver call their parenst and tell them about this thing. After a few times, their parents arrived. At this time, the surprising thing happened. My cousin's father is a distant cousin of the driver's father. So my cousin and the driver didn't argue after their parents arrive. They go to ate dinner together after they know that ther are relative to each other.

The Strange Dumpling

Do I ever ate some strange things? When someone ask me this question I well become embarrassed, because the strangest thing I ever ate is dumpling. Dumpling is very common in China, on one in China didn't eat dumpling. Maybe someone will be very confused abou why I think dumpling is the strangest food. Because the dumpling which I said is different between other dumplings, the dumpling which I said is maked by myself. Dumpling that make by other people is very beautiful, but which make by myself is malformed. The most interesting thing is that the common dumpling is very delicious, but the dumpling which I make is very terrible and strange. I don't know how to describe the taste, I just remember that everyone who ever are my dumpling said they doesn't want to eat dumpling again. After this time, my parents didn't let me make dumpling again. They said that please don't waste the flour and meat. Although I don't want to recognize, but I know that the dumpling which make by myself is very bad. So this is the reason why I thing dumpling is the strangest food I ever ate.

Epitaph without any words

After I died, what do I want to written on my epitaph? I often ask this question to myself and I think this question for a long time. In my opinion I like my epitaph doesn't have any word. Mybe someone will think it's surprising, but I don't think so. I think that if someone known me, they can know every things abou me. So I don't need writen any words on my epitaph, because they know every things. If someone didn't know me, they will not come to my tomb. I also don't need to writen any things in my epitaph, because on one that I don't know will come to my tomb. If I was a famous person, everyone can remember me with out epitaph. If I was not a famous person, no one can remember me after 50 or 100 years even though I have a very good epitaph. I think do some significant things when you are alive is best epitaph.
