Do you know the story about Vince? It was a true story. Vince was an English boy and he was eight years old. He didn’t like soap or water. Three or four times a day his mother said to him, “Vince, your hands are very dirty again.” Go and wash them. ” But Vince never washed them well. He only put his hands in the water for a few seconds and then took them out again.
Vince’s uncle and aunt lived in another city. One day they came to stay with Vince’s parents, and they brought their small son, Toby, with them. Toby was seven years old and he didn’t like soap or water, either.
The boys sat with their parents for a few minutes and then they went outside. When they
were playing, Vince looked at Toby’s hands and then went back to Toby’s parents and said proudly (骄傲地)， “Toby’s hands are dirtier than mine, ”
“Of course they are，”Toby said angrily. “You are one year older than I am, ”Vince is an eight-year-old American boy.
Both of the boys disliked soap or water.
Toby is one year younger than Vince.
Toby is Vince's brother.

We all got up early and got dressed quickly. And then we went to the airport by bus. We went back home on a very big plane. On the plane I sat with Linda and my dad. Dad was in the middle and I was by the window， so I could see everything. Junior was behind us. I played with Linda for a while and then went to sleep.
When we got off the plane， it was very cold. We all had to hold hand baggage (托着行李) on the way home， because we brought back so many things.
I think the vacation is very nice. It is really interesting to visit Hainan and we all had a good time there.How did the family go to the airport?
