A
Because of my curiosity, I had a really exciting weekend(好奇心). I took a trip to Gloucester to see some of the world’s most beautiful and exciting animals-whales in the North Atlantic Ocean.
After a long trip by train and bus, we got on the ship called Privateer. On our way to see the whales on that beautiful sunny day, I grew more and more excited.
After a while, we stopped and everyone on the ship started to shout because we saw whales. It was wonderful!
While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving us information about them. She told us that we saw only two kinds of whales-50-foot whales(singing whales) and 70-foot whales(the second largest whales on the earth). She also said we could easily tell different kinds of whales by their tails（尾巴）, since every whale has a different tail, just like people have different fingerprints（指纹）.
They all have names, and on the trip, we saw “Salt” and “Pepper”, two whales named by a scientist and a fisherman. They swam together all the time. Sometimes, whales came so close to the ship that we thought we could easily touch them.
I took twenty-seven photos, which was a really hard job because they moved so quickly and stayed on the surface of the ocean just for a short time. Having seen the whales was one of the chances few people ever got. I was lucky enough to have that chance.

Bessie Coleman was born in Atlanta, Texas, in 1892. Her mother was African American. Her father was part African American and part American Indian. Her family was poor. Bessie had to walk more than six kilometers to go to school.
Bessie had to pick cotton and wash clothes to help earn money for her family. She was able to save a little money and went to college in the state of Oklahoma.

Coleman returned to Chicago. She was the only black female pilot in the United States. So her story became popular in African American newspapers.

After a particularly busy period at work, I decided to get away from it all by going on a hike in the mountains in southern France.
Before I left, I read an interesting story in a magazine. It read, “Once, while I was riding on a crowding bus, the man sitting next to me threw his cell phone out of the window when his phone rang. I was surprised. He looked at me, shrugged and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it because it clearly troubled him. ”
Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones are a wonderful way for communication, they often do the exact opposite. Using cell phones can increase stress within families and friends.
So when I recently returned home, I got rid of my cell phone. Now I go outside without taking my phone with me. I’ve noticed things in my neighborhood I never noticed before, such as gardens. I’ve met new people, started conversations with neighbors I didn’t speak to before and talked with some of my friends face to instead of chatting over the phone.
