This August I went to a two-week long English camp which was held by English Beacon in Yantai city, Shandong Province. There were over a hundred middle school students from all over the country and thirty experts in English teaching participating in this exciting camp. While we were there, it was required that we speak only English to our teachers and with each other. There were many activities which were funny and helped us to strengthen our oral English skills, such as, the Second Annual National Debate for Middle School Students,  the Third National English Speech Competition for Middle School Students and English parties. We also visited many places of interest. Learning English was exciting and the teachers were very friendly and helpful. This camp was a real life-changing experience that I will never forget.

    今年八月，我参加了由《英语辅导报》在山东烟台举办的为期两周的英语夏令营活动。来自全国各地的一百多名中学生和三十名英语教育专家参加了此次活动，在那儿我们只能用英语交流。此次夏令营举办了许多有趣且提高口语能力的活动，比如第二后全国中学生辩论赛，第三后全国中学生英语演讲赛和英语晚会。我们还参观了许多名胜。学英语很有趣，老师对我们也很和蔼，给了我们许多帮助。这次夏令营真实的生活体验令我永远难忘。

     This August, I took part in an English summer camp which was held in the city of Yantai, Shandong Province. More than one hundred middle school students from all over the country and over thirty experts in English teaching took part in the camp, too. Every member should communicate with each other in English. All of us were very happy and excited in the camp. In addition,  many activities were held in the camp such as, the Second Annual National Debate for Middle School Students and the Third National English Speech Competition for Middle School Students. We visited many places of interest. But what impressed us most was the English party. Some were singing in English and others were dancing. We learnt a great deal, including how to study English, communicate with each other and help other people. I want to take part in it next year.

    今年八月，我参加了在山东省烟台市举行的英语夏令营活动。来自全国各地一百多名中学生和三十多名英语教育专家参加了这次活动。每个营员都必须用英语彼此交流，我们所有的人都很高兴、激动。另外，夏令营也举办了许多活动，例如第二后全国中学生辩论会和第三后中学生英语讲演比赛。我们还参观了许多名胜。但是最令我们难忘的是英语晚会，一些同学唱英文歌曲，另外一些人跳舞。我们都学到了不少知识，包括怎样学习英语、与他人交流和帮助他人。明年我还会参加的。
