What do we do when we go camping?

【小题1】 We take food, clothing, a knife, and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insects (虫子) and the sun. 【小题2】 We look for a place for campers (露营者) and we look for a good place for our tent. The place should have a lot of moving air. This will keep some insects away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. 【小题3】 We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods, climb a mountain, row a boat, or go fishing.

In the evening we come back to the tent. We build a big fire because it can keep the insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. 【小题4】

At night we lie down on the grass. 【小题5】 It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early.

Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won’t hear music from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won’t rain.

After several exams, I believe that most of you have different understanding about your own study. Here I want to show you a tool which can help you analyze (分析)your study. It is SWOT analyzing method. Maybe you are not familiar with it, but don’t worry. I will give you an introduction. “S” means strengths, the things you are good at. “W” is short for weakness, your weak points. “O” stands for opportunities, which means all the things can help you except yourselves. “T” represents threats (威胁) the things stop you from improving. Now I will give you an example-the SWOT of John.

This sheet is an example for you. Maybe this method can’t solve all your problems, but I hope you can have a try to analyze your study with this method of thinking. If you have more questions, you can ask me after class, or you can e-mail your problem and I will check as soon as possible.

If you have planned a trip during summer holiday, certainly you will want to share some photos on WeChat. 【小题1】 Don’t worry! Here are some tips you can follow to take wonderful photos.

Turn back and smile:

While on the road, the moment you turn back with a smile is the most impressive. Just walk away from the camera and do a turn-back for the most natural effect. You can also pretend to hear your name called, turn back, and run your fingers through long hair. 【小题2】

Look away from the camera.

There are many ways for you to avoid looking at the camera. 【小题3】 Let the camera catch your side face. Looking down into the distance or looking out of the window is also a good choice. If there is nothing to see, you can also choose to close your eyes and enjoy this moment of quietness.

【小题4】

Are you a little shy when facing the camera? Taking a back view photo is a good choice, which can leave room for imagination and bring a different feeling as well.

Take a seat.

【小题5】 If there are good places to sit down, please do it! You can pose in a variety of positions with your arms and legs.

Taking the perfect photo takes time and practice. If you follow these simple tricks above, your photos will start coming out beautifully! Do not hesitate to go out with your friends and take more photos.
