 Last May Day, my class went to the countryside by bus for our holiday. There was too much traffic on the road so we had to move very slowly. It took us about one hour to get out of the town. After some time, we came to a hill. It was green and beautiful. We thought this was a good place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the bus. We sat down and began to eat. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to the bus and have our meal in the bus. Then we drove back home. What a sad trip!
