Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of long celebration (庆祝). You are encouraged to throw tomatoes in the fight. There’re many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories goes that during the 1940's, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems to have a different story.
Before the tomato fight, there are parades (游行)，musical bands, street parties and so on. On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover their windows and doors in order to keep away from the tomato fight. At the same time, thousands of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks (卡车) full of tomatoes arrive. From theback of the large trucks, a great town band start to throw tomatoes at others. Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
Everyone is supposed to obey a small number of rules: You must squash (压烂) the tomato before throwing it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.
It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clearup. Sounds like fun!The most exciting activity of the festival is ________.

Last weekend my father, my mother, my sister and I went to summer camp. We went to Mount Ermei. It was a very sunny but windy day. We got to the foot of the mountain by bus. In the middle of the mountain there was a clean and clear river. I washed my face with the water. It was a little warm. There were some fishes in the river, too. In the mountain there were many beautiful flowers. At noon, lots of people got together, and they were very friendly. We had lunch in the mountain. The food was very nice, and we liked it very much. After lunch, we went on our trip. Finally we got to the top of the mountain. From there we could see everything below because of the fine weather. I felt like I was flying in the sky. We had a wonderful time.
