Helen lived with her sister Mary. Both of them were about seventy-five years old, and neither of them had ever married. They had a small, old car, and when they wanted to go somewhere, which they did very rarely(珍惜), Mary always drove, because her eyes were better. One weekend they drove to a large town to look at some things which they had read about in the newspaper. Neither of them had been to that town before. They were driving along in a lot of traffic when they turned right into a street which cars were not allowed to go into. There was a policeman there and he blew his whistle(吹口哨), but Mary did not stop, so he got on to his motorcycle and followed them. After he had ordered them to stop he said, “Didn’t you hear me blow my whistle?” “Yes, we did,” admitted(承认)Mary politely, “But Mummy told us never to stop when man whistle to us!”

Do you ever take summer vacations? Read these reports about Thailand.
William’s report
We went to Thailand for our summer vacation last year. It was our first trip to Asia. We loved it. We spent a week in Bangkok and did something different every day. We
went to the floating market very early one morning. We didn’t buy anything there, we just looked. Another day, we went to Wat Phra Keo, the famous Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It was really interesting. Then we saw two more temples nearby. We also went on a river trip somewhere outside Bangkok. The best thing about the trip was the food. The next time we have friends over for dinner, I’m going to cook Thai food.
Sue’s report
Last summer, we spent our vacation in Thailand. We were very excited-it was our first trip there. We spent two days in Bangkok. Of course, we took a river bus to the floating market. We bought some delicious fruit there. The next day we went to a very interesting temple called the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. We didn’t have time to visit any other temples. However, we went to two historic cities -Ayuthaya and Sukhothai. Both have really interesting ruins. Everything was great. It’s hard to say what was the best thing about the trip.
