A group of people in my city spend their free time cleaning up the countryside. They look after the places such as fields, rivers and forests. Before my last birthday, I was not to join them because I was too young, I have to be at least thirteen years old. and now I am.

    On the first Sunday of every month we spend hours making the countryside a good place for animals, Often people are the cause of the problems. They find a great place of a picnic. But they do not take their rubbish home with them, The rubbish looks ugly and it not good for wild animals.

    However, nature also sometimes makes life difficult for some animals, Last Sunday, we spent all afternoon clearing overgrown(杂草丛生的)plants from a river. Now the water is flowing freely again. The fish can swim along without anything in their way.

    Some of our work does not bring changes so quickly. New trees will take several years to grow before they are big and strong. Birds can build homes on them then, but it is nice to know that we are trying to help.

The beautiful pictures of these birds quickly become popular on Wechat (微信), they tell people that birds season is coming once again.

    In this August, I had a trip called "Cultural Trip: Germany, Italy & France" to go to Europe with a group of American students.

    This was not my first time to other countries, but it was unusual one. Why do I think the trip Unusual? Travel agencies (旅行社)usually have travel buses for tourists, What about us ? For five days, we traveled along Germany by bike. We were tired but happy! For some times on the trip, something went wrong with someone's bicycle. But at the end of the trip, everyone was safe and happy.

    In Italy, we went to a kitchen to learn to cook Italian dishes, we made a great dinner and ended by making the chocolate cake. I gave full marks to that night!

    France was the last stop, we went to the capital of France, Paris. We went to the Eiffel tower and we even got onto it. The tower is 324 meters tall, It has three levels(层) for visitors. There are restaurants on the first and second levels. The top level is 276 meters above the ground. If you climb from ground level to the first level, you need to climb over 300 steps. There are another 300 steps from the first level to the second level. That's why people usually get onto the top level by lift.
