A cruise

It was a sunny day. My father drove the whole family to
Clifford pier. We were going on a cruise on board the
Equator Dream. My brother and I were very excited as we
had never been on a cruise before.

The Equator Dream is a big ship with four storeys. It has a
huge dining room and a lounge. On the lowest level is a
discotheque which my father said is not a suitable place
for children. On the highest level is a sun deck where most
people will gather during the day.

We cruised around Singapore. We were served a buffet
lunch on board. Then, we went up on the deck to enjoy the
sunshine and the sea breeze. The scenery was beautiful.

In the evening, we were treated to a delicious Chinese
meal. After dinner, we went to the lounge to chat and laze
about. Of course, we also went up on the deck again to
look at the captivating night scene of Singapore. We could
see the lights on the island flickering from afar.

Slowly, the lights became larger and brighter. The Equator
Dream docked and we disembarked at World Trade
Center. It had been an interesting trip and all of us went
home feeling satisfied and happy.

A class excursion

It was a bright Saturday morning. The school holidays had

just begun and my form teacher, Mrs. Zhang, had
promised to bring the whole class on an excursion to the
Botanic Garden.

A bus was chartered to take us there. We assembled at
school punctually and Mrs. Zhang did a head count before
we boarded the bus. It was a long way to Botanic Garden
and we sang songs merrily on the way.

Soon, we reached our destination. It was a beautiful place.
We made a short tour round the garden and snapped
some pictures of the whole class. We then found a
spacious piece of grassland and played some games
there. Even Mrs. Zhang joined in the fun.

When it was one o’clock, we unpacked the food we
brought and tucked into the noodles, sandwiches, fruits
and barley drink.

In the afternoon, we went to listen to a choral performance
by the National Junior College choir at the garden. They
sang very well.

All too soon, it was time to leave. However, we cheered
when Mrs. Zhang promised to bring us on another
excursion during the December holidays.
