     In America, students are also very busy every day even (甚至) at the weekend!
      In the morning, students get up early. Then they have a quick (快的) breakfast. Some even don't
have breakfast. At school, they have many subjects to learn. After school, their parents also let them
learn many other things, such as drawing, dancing, Chinese, playing the piano and so on. At the
weekend, they also have to learn these things. They can't do what they like, such as watching TV,
playing games, shopping and so on.
     And they usually do much homework. Jenifer, a middle school girl in New York, says she doesn't
want to learn so much. But her parents always say,"If you don't learn much, you will fall behind the
other students."
      In a word, all the students in the world are very busy even in the most developed (发达)
country-America.

       Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day? If you stay at home at that time, I think you
  are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in
  China, it's too crowded to do anything.
       It was too crowded on the Great Wall on National Day in 2010. You even (甚至) couldn't take
   photos for you or your friends. All what we could see were people. It was reported that there were
  about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall. My friends told me they could see nothing but many
  people on the Great Wall. "We couldn't walk if the people in front of us didn't walk," he said. He
  showed us a photo on the Great Wall. In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many
  people.
       So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week any more. But other people
  say no about this advice. What's your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold
  week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.
