Going on a Picnic
Today was Sunday. The weather was fine and warm. The sky was very clear and blue. My classmates and I were very happy， because we went out for a picnic at Nanshan Hill. We went to Nanshan Hill by bike with fruits， eggs， meat， vegetables， knives and some other things.
About one and a half hours later， we came to a nice place at the foot of the hill. There were many beautiful flowers and green trees. Birds sang their sweet songs. How pleased we were！ Then we were busy with the picnic. Some of us were getting water， some were cutting the meat and vegetables and cook， others were sitting on the grass and waiting for nice lunch. At about 13 o'clock， our lunch was ready. We all sat around on the green grass， singing， talking， eating and drinking. At about 16：00 we began packing for our return.
What a nice time we were having！
小作者能用准确、地道的语言，简练的语句非常生动地描写出了野炊的场面。这篇文章条理清楚，尤其是“ some … some … ， others …”句型，以及 singing， eating 等现在分词作伴随状语的运用，使这篇日记增色不少。本文结尾使用了一个感叹句，更加反映出小作者对这次野炊的真实情感。

同学们平时都有用中文写日记的习惯吧。在学过 Lesson 78 之后，再根据我们今天“作文展厅”的讲解，希望你们每天能把中文日记改用英文来书写。因为，每天坚持写英语日记不仅能提高你们对语言的运用能力，同时更能不断促进和复习巩固所学的英语知识，从而进一步提高你们的写作水平。
