The great outdoors! Clean air and beautiful view are just what you need to enjoy yourself. What’s the best way to enjoy it? By camping of course!

First of all, where will you camp? There are camping grounds all over China. The choice is yours!

You will need a tent. Most tents are light and easy to put up. They come with a groundsheet. It stops water getting in, as well as a fly screen, so that bugs(虫子)don’t fly into your tent at night.

Take a sleeping bag and sleeping mat(垫子). Check the weather! Are you going somewhere cold or hot? You can buy sleeping bags of different thickness.

Make sure you bring the right clothes. If you want to go hiking, you will need a pair of walking boots, light trousers, and a waterproof(防水的)coat. A map and compass(指南针)are helpful too.

Cooking outside is fun. Put your stove far away from the tent, or you might cause a fire. Plastic cups and plates are lighter to carry. Make sure you bring enough clean water. Taking water from lakes is dangerous as there might be pollution.

If you are going to a faraway area, bring an “emergency survival aid”(急救箱). Make sure you tell someone where you are going.

Start shopping now! Your first camping trip is just around the corner.

Almost every Chinese can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” But sadly, many of us don’t get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

News 1+1，a famous CCTV program, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? No. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well known for being generous(慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired( 开除) because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food. Here are some tips:

★ Don’t order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

★ Don’t be too picky(挑剔) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.
