Chinese camp

              Today is Saturday and I had to get up extremely early to attend the Chinese camp held in Raffles Girls’ School. It was quite far from our hostel so we had to leave early because the camp started at eight fifteen. 

              Jinming, Ruoyu and I got up a lot later than the planned time and Ziying and Carol left earlier than us because they think there weren’t enough time to reach the school if they waited for us. Hence we took a bus there when we all three of us were ready to leave. Actually we arrived there at then past eight which was five minutes earlier. After we got there, we found that the actual starting time was eight thirty. We could get up fifteen minutes later if we knew that. The camp started at eight thirty. The first part was the RGS’s Chinese music band presented us the music of the TV show A dream in red mansions which was also one of the most popular book in China. After that, two teachers came up to the stage and talked to us about the book. I started to have some interest in the book which I used to find extremely boring. 

               After breakfast time, we watched a show from the RGS students about the one story in the book The dream in red mansion. Then, we could choose two of the five speech to listen in different classroom. After lunch, we were asked to write an essay using the writing skills that the presenter of the presenters taught us. The last part of this camp is team game time. There were three games in total and our team won the third prize at last. We got some chocolate for that. 

               As soon as I reached my room, I went on my bed and had some sleep. I was too tired because of today’s activities.
