In the past few days, my mother has found something for me. I got up early in the morning and ran into the garden. I came back to practice singing and reciting. But these things are just finished, in the afternoon is really annoying, outside the sun do not want to go out, at home time is tough, the mother does not let me outside and "engagement" and does not allow me to call others to play, I only allow a person, "400 word essay summer life composition 400 the word".

Father and mother go to work, Im the only one at home.

At longtan falls, I was excited, and reminded me of li bai's poem "flying to the next three thousand feet, the mystery of the Milky Way nine days".

We also came to the place where chairman MAO lived, the house was very humble, there were two sacred trees behind the house, and the front of the house had the "reading stone" which chairman MAO used to sit and read.

The next day, we visited the museum of revolutionary base in jinggangshan and the memorial of revolutionary martyrs. I looked carefully at the weapons used by the former revolutionary fighters. It was chairman MAO's "mi plus toys". In the memorial of revolutionary martyrs, I have seen photographs and statues of many revolutionary predecessors, the names of revolutionary martyrs, and the eight walls of the museum exhibition hall, especially memorable.

I feel that many revolutionary predecessors, such as chairman MAO, are stubborn, brave, intelligent, diligent and most worthy of our study and remembrance.

Sister and I go to the xingqing park around a circle, I'm very glad we came to the xingqing park by bus 242 road (east), after we entered the park, from the east gate around to the front door, see a lot of fun. That was my happiest day.
