I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English．So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there．But after having three days of hamburgers，sandwiches and potatoes，I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food，especially my favorite﹣huo guo．You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students．On the way to the canteen，I seemed to smell huo guo in the air．
To my surprise，when I stepped into the room，I didn't see any sign of huo guo．Where was it？
With many questions in my head，I sat down to have the free meal．After talking with an English girl，I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot．Chinese huo guo is written in two words﹣hot pot； and hotpot，one word，is a traditional English dish．
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion．On the top are pieces of potatoes．People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat．It takes very little effort to prepare．You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive．
Hotpot doesn't taste bad．However，I still miss huo guo﹣hot pot，two words!

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.
