When I spent the summer with my grandmother, ...

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she always sent me to a store with a long shopping list. How could I hope to find all these things? In the store, there was a tall lady with black glasses on her nose. There wasn’t a smile on her face.

“Excuse me,” I said. She looked down and said, “I’m Miss Bee.”

“I need to get these.” I said, holding up my list. “So? Go to get them. ” Miss Bee pointed to some shelves. “There’s no one here, only you and me, so get yourself a basket and get all these things yourself.”

That summer I visited Miss Bee twice a week. Sometimes she gave me wrong change. One afternoon I corrected her, “That bag of beans is only twenty-nine cents!”She just looked at me over her glasses and changed the price. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I got into the store just like General Patton getting into North Africa.

Soon I learned how to find the product on the shelf… At the end of the summer, the shopping trip only took me 15 minutes. Before I left, I stopped in the store to get some candy.

“All right, little girl,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” Before I could answer. Miss Bee laughed and said, “I know what you think of me. Well, I don’t care! My job is to teach every child some life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad you ever met Miss Bee. Haha!...”

I didn’t think of her words. Years passed, one day my daughter came to me with her homework. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”

“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store and I knew what I learned from the old lady that summer.

I'll never forget the days when I camped (野营) with my classmates last summer.Early in the morning, 200 children　 from the 4th grade gathered at the bus station. After saying goodbye to our parents, we stood in line to get on the buses. It was more than two hours after we arrived at the campground.

We got off the buses cheerfully like birds flying out of their cages. Laughing and shouting, we jumped and ran all over the place. For us, it was our first time to be away from Dad and Mom. Some started feeling homesick(想家) even before dark. But as the night party and dances began, the homesickness was gone.

The next day, everyone rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of the others. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn't listen to us and kept going round and round . Then the boating teacher taught us how to work together. After many tries, we did better.

Swimming class was my favorite. It was about one o'clock, the warmest time of a day and the best time to stay in the cool water. The swimming teacher was an interesting man. During the class he often made us shout happily.

A week passed before we knew it. During the week I learned many new things and made many new friends. I also learned to take care of myself without parents around me.
