Welcome to space camp.

At space camp, you practice doing things in zero gravity (重力). At some camps you can use a 1/6th gravity chair. In the 1/6th gravity chair, you will feel like you are walking on the moon. In a weightlessness simulator, you will float and walk as you would float and walk in space. These are some of the simulators you can use at camp.

At space camp, you will learn to eat as you would in space. Food floats in the air. Sometimes you have to catch it to eat it. Sometimes you squeeze (挤) food out of a tube (管), right into your mouth!

Space camps let you try many different activities. Some camps let you build and launch (发射) a small rocket. At other camps, you can build and operate a robot. You may learn how to stay alive or do experiments. All these activities let you feel what it is like to be an astronaut in space.

I’m also taking a class called digital creator (小小编程师). It’s about how to code (编程) and make small computer programs (小程序). It is interesting and I’ve learned a lot.

Life in a Chinese School

The school

My name is Daniel. I am in Grade 8. This is my second year at middle school. When we are in Grade 9, we have to take an exam to continue our studies. We go to school five days a week and have seven lessons every day. We study Chinese, Maths and English. We also have other subjects like Geography, History and computer studies. I like Maths best among all the subjects.

After-school activities

We have different clubs after school. Some clubs are for fun, such as the Guitar Club, the Chess Club and the Basketball Club. Some clubs are for study, such as the Maths Club, the Physics Club and the Geography Club. I am a member of the English Singing Club. It is fun to sing English songs. We sometimes practise English in the English Corner. I have improved my spoken English a lot. On Wednesday and Thursday, we go to the library and borrow some books and magazines. Time seems to travel faster when we do the reading.

Elder brothers and sisters

Boys and girls have lessons together at our school. There are more than 1,800 students here. Many new students need help to learn more about the new school. They may have problems with their new school life. When they have problems, they sometimes don’t want to tell the teachers. They may feel better if they can talk to the older students. At our school, the older students can join the Helping Hands Club. These elder brothers and sisters talk to the new students and try to help them to work out their problems.

In China, everybody thinks it is very important to go to school. We are happy to be at school. And I should say our school is the best!

Before I left, the policeman wrote down my name and my a   69   . He thought the owner might want to thank me.

That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also asked a young woman to have dinner with us. Her face was familiar, but I couldn’t r   70    where I had seen her.
