I had mixed feelings today， nervous， worried， happy， excited… My heart went down when Miss Chan， our head teacher， said that Matthew and Beth， two students from England， would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day， I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.
Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic ! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student， Beth， is the most helpful girl I’ve ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course， some of the credit (功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us!
We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected， then Beth and I talked for a while， Matthew sang several English so ngs and did some stand-up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day， none of us wanted to leave.
When I went back home， I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year. It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue， even after they gone back to England!

How do I like to travel?
Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. you can’t open the window. You can’t choose（选择；挑选） the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch（赶上） another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry(携带；拿) many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.Why do many people like to travel by plane?
