A Backcountry AdventureSunday,July 10th
We are back from our three-day camping trip to the Shenandoah Valley.Mom and Dad had been worried about our family's reliance on computers,cell phones,and video games for entertainment.So they decided a camping trip would help us overcome our dependence on electronic devices.I knew we'd have to be resilient (適應(yīng)力強(qiáng)的) in order to find a way to survive without the comforts of home.
When you camp in the backcountry,you could only bring necessities that you needed to survive,such as food,clothes,a camp stove,fuel,rope,a map,and a water container.At first,I was surprised that we weren't bringing bottled water with us.Then my heavy,overstuffed backpack made me realize we'd soon use up any supply we could carry.Instead,we'd have to boil water from nearby streams.
Our first day in the wild was out of expectation.We scrabbled up rocky paths and waded in an ice-cold stream.Colourful wildflowers waved at us.I felt like I had stepped into a dreamy painting.After all that exercise,an intense hunger burned in my stomach.Mom's homemade snacks had never tasted so good.
At night,the darkness seemed like a black curtain.I tried to read with an electric torch,but I couldn't concentrate.I finally fell asleep to a chorus of chirping crickets (蟋蟀鳴叫聲中).
By our last day,I had blistered(長(zhǎng)水泡的)feet and bug-bitten arms.I was ready to go home.I couldn't wait to play computer games.But a funny thing happened.Soon after I started my favorite game,I lost the interest.So I walked outside to get some fresh air. Mom and Dad's plan had worked after all. Right then I decided to spend more time outdoors.

2.Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message.Yes,I'm having a great time on my student exchange program in France.I was a bit nervous before I arrived here,but there was no reason to be.My host family is really nice.They go out of their way to make me feel at home.The grandmother knows that I miss Chinese food a lot.So she actually learned how to make Chinese food!She also has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is really kind.She always talks to me in French to help me practice.You wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved because of that.I'm very comfortable speaking French now.Although I still make lots of mistakes,it doesn't worry me as it used to.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table.As you can imagine,things are very different from the way they are at home.For example,you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate.You're supposed to put it on the table!I thought that was pretty strange at first,but now I'm used to it.Another example is that you're not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread,not even fruit.You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.Another thing is that it is impolite to say you're full.If you don't want any more food,you should just say, "That was delicious." Also,you're not supposed to put your elbows on the table.I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything,but I'm gradually getting used to it.I don't find French customs so strange anymore.
I'll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France.Hope you're having a good school year.
Yours,
Lin Yue
