One morning it was shining brightly when I woke up. I looked at the alarm clock. It said 3:45! It had stopped! What time was it? I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen clock said 8:30—I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone to work without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00. I had missed it. I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.

“Tell the teacher I’ll be in as soon as I can!” I said.

“Come on your rollerblades,” Tony said. “It will be faster than the bus.”

I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbed an apple to eat on the way. That was my breakfast! Then I put on my rollerblades and set off for school. It took half an hour to get to the school. I took all the shortcuts I knew. I went across the park — even through some backyards! When I got to school, I was very hot and my legs ached. I had missed math, our first lesson of the morning. But I made it just in time for history, our second lesson. I was very happy because history is my favorite subject.

My aunt works in Beijing. I visited her during last summer vacation. Beijing is a beautiful city. A lot of foreigners go sightseeing there. My aunt and I got up early on Saturday morning and we went to the Great Wall by car. We returned to the center of the city at four and visited the Palace Museum. The next morning we went to the Summer Palace by bike. That afternoon, we rode to the Beijing Zoo. We saw pandas there. And after supper we took a bus to Beihai Park. We were tired, but I think we had a good time there.
