Last summer,Cathy's whole family went to New York City for their summer vacation.They stayed there for two weeks.
New York City is the largest city in the United States.It is also the home of the United Nations.
On the first day they visited the Statue of Liberty.The Statue of Liberty is one of New York's most well-known historic sites.Millions of people visit it every year.
On the second day they went to the Empire State Building.It is the tallest building in New York City now.From the top of the building,they saw most parts of New York.On the third day,they visited the Metropolitan Museum.In this museum,they saw a lot of famous paintings.During the rest time of the week,Cathy went to Bronx Zoo with her younger brother and sister.There they were glad to see a lot of their favorite animals-tigers,lions,monkeys,and elephants.
In the second week,the family visited Long Island.On the island,they spent most of their time swimming,sunbathing and playing on the beach.They all had a good time.
I always thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich.but this year I have learned that this is not always true.I learned this from my teacher.He is both wise and good,but is not rich at all,for being a teacher,he doesn't have a good income(收入).Perhaps he'll be able to get more money if he gives up teaching for business.But he is so proud of being a teacher that he takes pleasure in helping young people.He stays at school from morning till late afternoon and works very hard.He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help.He is kinder to us than anyone whom I have ever known.I think it must be easier to learn history or maths than to learn how to become such a man.He scolds(责备)us when we do something wrong,but he teaches us to try to do better.We all wish to study with him as long as possible,but that may be impossible.Some of us may become doctors,some become businessmen,some become engineers,some become writers,but we all want one thing very much-to become men like our teacher.
