In my blog message with the title, "My Summer Holiday Plan" I said that I would go to France and Spain from 21st July to 28th July. I have just been there and I want to share the trip with you.
We went to France on 21st of August. We travelled to Paris by plane and it took about twelve hours. It was really boring on the plane. When we arrived there, we collected our luggage and called a taxi to go to the town. We checked in at our hotel which was called Holiday Inn. The staff told us where the Chinese restaurants were and taught us how to use the Metro.
We took The Metro (MTR) to the restaurants. When I compare the Hong Kong's MTR and Paris' Metro! Firstly there wasn't any air conditioners in the Metro. Secondly, the seats were very old. Thirdly, when you pressed the buttons, the door would open. It's extremely horrible and I think it is impossible to see changes in the near future.
When we arrived at a Chinese restaurant, we ordered something to eat. My parents ate some Chinese noodles and I ate a plate of BBQ pork chop rice. After that we took the Metro back to the hotel. I met my Barcelona friends at the hotel and my mum told me we would join together to go to Paris and Barcelona.
friends were very hungry because they hadn't eaten anything, so we
took the Metro Train to a French restaurant. At last we found a huge restaurant. (I'm sorry that I have forgotten the name) I ate some steak and seafood such as prawns again. I also ate some sweet waffles for my dessert. I enjoyed the meal very much! Then we walked around some streets and did some window shopping.
Later on, We went to an observation tower and enjoyed the view. I could see all over Paris even The Eiffel Tower. It was beautiful! After that we walked to the "cite", it is the name of one of the big cities in France and we saw a big church there. The bell suddenly rang when I was walking near to it. It frightened me!
At night we had the dinner at a restaurant nearby the hotel. I found that even though it was nine o' clock at night, the sun was still shining brightly!We went to the hotel at eleven o'clock and slept at midnight.
PS: this is just the first day only, don't miss reading about the activities on the second, third, forth and the fifth day in Paris.

Autumn
Autumn is coming soon. In Autumn the weather is cool and l like the season very much.
People usually do more exercise in Autumn because the weather is more comfortable than other seasons. They always go to the gymnasium for exercise or go to the cycling track to have a ride, maybe they jog around the park. Also people have picnics in the countryside.
In Autumn leaves change their colour from green to brown and drop on the ground and end their life.
Although Autumn is very nice, but it is short. It will pass in October. So we have to treasure the Autumn time.
