Tommy and Jacky are twin brothers. They were going on a trip with the class the next day, so they could not sleep well that night. The next morning they both woke up very early. They rushed to brash their teeth and wash their faces. Then they quickly put on their school clothes and had their breakfast.  After that they made sandwiches and took some apples and drinks for their lunch.

     At school they stood on the playground and their teacher, Keller, called their names. " Stand in line, everybody," shouted Keller in a very strict voice," Don't push when you get on the bus," she added. The driver was a young man, tall and friendly.  Tommy and Jacky got on the bus and took their seats at the back. When the bus set off, everybody began to make a noise, talking and singing happily with their classmates.

     Tommy sat next to the window, enjoying the beautiful view outside. At about ten thirty, the bus arrived at the beach and the students rushed to it. They ran here and there, they shouted, and they laughed---It was three thirty in the afternoon, the time for the students to go back home, but no one wanted to leave. They couldn't believe how fast the time had flown.

Last month, Junior 1 students from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School took a special test. They took it by traveling.

   The students went to Nanjing and Yangzhou for five days. Their teachers gave each student a list of questions to answer during the trip. The questions are also the students' mid-term test for history and geography. There were questions like: How long is the Beijing-Shanghai Railway? What were the six dynasties (朝代) that used Nanjing as their capital?

  "I never had so much fun with an exam," said Gao Chenxiang,13. "We learned a lot by working this way."

   The students learned much more than just the answers to the questions. They also visited the Nanjng Massacre Museum (南京大屠杀纪念馆).

   "If 1 was learning only from a textbook, I wouldn′t have known how bad the Japanese invaders (侵略者) were," said Gao.

   Students did not get to sleep on the train to Nanjing. Usually the kids would sleep on a train journey so long, but in this case they were all given seats.

   "The seats are very uncomfortable," said DengLin,12. "I know most migrant workers (民工)travel this way. That must be so hard."

    Students also learned to take care of themselves. They washed clothes and made their own beds.
