17 July
Today was our first day to visit Moscow. The weather was fine and everyone felt excited to visit some famous places in Russia.
In the morning, we went to the Victory Museum. The Russian people built this museum to remember their fight against the Nazis during World War Ⅱ. As we walked through the halls, the tour guide told us stories about the war.
In one hall, I saw an artwork with thousands of glass “tears” falling down. It reminds us that war is terrible and peace does not come easily. We should not forget that.
At noon, we had lunch at a restaurant near the park. I liked the ice cream there, so I ate a lot of it. But, during dinner, I didn’t feel like eating because I felt sick. So now, I just want to get a good night’s sleep.
18 July
It rained last night, so this morning the air was fresh and cool. I felt much better today.
We took the Moscow Metro to travel around. The metro stations are really beautiful. Sometimes I felt like I was walking inside a palace. After that, we went to Red Square. We saw some fantastic buildings there.
In the afternoon, we arrived at a school and met a group of Russian students. We played games and soon became friends. Later, someone took out his accordion, and soon everyone got together to sing and dance. We were so happy that we didn’t notice the time. It was such a good experience!

My Holiday in Scotland
Last autumn, my family took a train to Scotland for a holiday. We stayed in a comfortable house in the countryside with beautiful scenery. I live in a big city, so everything seemed so different. For example, beside the house, there was a huge forest.
On the last day, early in the morning, I went to the forest to explore. While there, something made a noise. I turned around and was surprised to see a deer.
