A Summer Vacation

Last summer, Dad, Mom, Tim and Tara went to the beach in Florida. They swam, fished, built sandcastles (沙滩城堡) and went sailing(航海). Mom brought a picnic lunch. She put a cloth on the sand and set out some sandwiches, potato chips, apples and cookies. She brought drinks in the cooler. Later, Tim and Tara walked along the beach and saw a crab(螃蟹) walking on the beach. A dog was barking at it. A starfish was washed up on the beach, too. Tim threw bread up in the air to feed a flock of seagulls(海鸥). Then the family went back to the hotel, and Tim and Tara played video games until bedtime. They really had a relaxing time.

Erin Smith is a tour guide in New York, USA. Last month, she (take) a group of four people for a horse riding trip in the forests. Erin was on a big white horse called Star.

Everyone was ready to have fun and the ride (start) well at first. There were some big animals in the forests, such as tigers. Erin (know) that, but she didn't take it seriously (认真地) because those tigers never went near people.

When they rode the horse along the river, they (hear) a big noise. And then a 200-kilogram tiger (come) out from the trees and it quickly ran to an eight-year-old boy. Both the boy and the boy's horse (see) the tiger and got very scared. The horse tried to run away from the tiger but the tiger (run) after it. The boy was so scared that he (shout) loudly for help.

Erin was scared too, but she had to help the boy. She gave Star a kick (踢) and they went after the tiger. Suddenly, the boy fell (掉落) off the horse and the tiger just went towards (朝) him. Erin (put) Star between the tiger and the boy and tried her best to stop the tiger. At last, the tiger (make) a terrible noise and went away.

Luckily, the boy wasn't hurt (受伤) badly. Erin saved him and his father was very happy. Not only Erin but also Star did a good job.

They didn't to eat.
