It was Saturday. The1 was fine. It was good for a trip. When our teacher2 us we were going on a school trip, we became nearly crazy(疯狂的)3 this was the first school trip of our new term. I4 a lot of food and drinks in the supermarket. We climbed the mountain5 nearly one hour. Oh, I was quite6. But the mountain looked nice and there were many7. My classmates imitated(模仿) the animals' sounds, which was so8！ All of us laughed. And we sat on the top of the mountain to9 a picnic.

How nice the10 was! That day we were really tired, but we were very happy.

Are you sorry for not traveling(旅游) during the National Day(国庆节)? 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.

Look at the picture. It was too crowded in the West Lake on October 1st, 2016. You even couldn't take photos for you or your friends. All that we could see were people. It was reported that there were about 13 people per meter by the lake. My friends told me they could see nothing but many tourists(游客) on the Broken Bridge(断桥). “We couldn't walk if the people in front of us didn't walk，” he said. He showed us a photo near the West Lake. In the photo, we hardly found him out,  for there were too many people.

So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week(黄金周) anymore. 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.
