cover the cost of hiring a bus，each student will have to pay $10 each time.There will be four basketball
courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.

not very busy and crowded before 6：00 pm.Second，it has lots of trees with plenty of shade.Students
must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst.Three activities，skipping，jogging，outdoor
aerobics(有氧运动)，all of which are free of charge，will be arranged.And there will be a teacher on
duty for each of the activities.

minutes later.Three teachers will accompany the students，and a hiking instructor will accompany each
group of 15 hikers.Each instructor will cost $75/hr.Students are advised to bring plenty of water and
sunscreen.

pool and conduct the goingson from the poolside.We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour
