Do you have a favourite place—a place with family and relatives (亲戚), good weather and fun things to do? I’m glad I have. New Jersey is my favourite place. I like it for many reasons (原因).

The first reason is my family and relatives. Half of my relatives live in New Jersey. When I visit them, my cousins and I play games and have fun together all the day. My uncles and aunts like taking me to the park. There we can ride roller coasters and play in the water. We all feel happy to stay together.

The second reason is the weather. It is not hot, and it’s always cool. When I think about my visits to New Jersey, I can just feel the little wind in my hair. It’s so great to stay there.

The third reason is catching crabs (捕蟹). If it’s the crab season, we often catch crabs. We keep the blue crabs and the snow crabs, and we let the others go. Once, my cousin catches a crab. It is so big that it can’t get out of the crab bag! Finally, we help it get out, but it hurts one of its legs. Poor crab!

For all these reasons, New Jersey is my favourite place.
