to feel homesick(想家). However, when the night party and dances began, the
homesickness was gone.
The next day, everybody rushed to the boating class, hoping to be at the head of
the others. At first, my friends and I worked hard, but the boat wouldn't listen to us
and kept going round and round. Then the teacher taught us how to work together.
After many tries, we did much better.
The swimming class was my favorite. It was about the hottest time of a day and
the best time to stay in the cool water. The swimming teacher was a funny man, and
