A TRIP 5 years ago , when I was in the senior year of my university , my parents came to Qindao to see me without telling me . I was very surprised because they had never came to see me during the period that I was in university . It was so sudden that I had no time to book a hotel.But my father told me that he had already reserved one before they came. Although I had stayed in Qindao for almost 4 years , I went to the beach rarely ，for our school was far away from the seaside. My parents drove to my school to pick me up ,and then we went directly to the hotel which was near the beach. When I entered the hotel ,I was so excited,there was a large garden outside ! And our room had an amazing balcony where we could get a nice view of the sea . At those days ,we enjoyed a variety of sea food ,and we visited a well-known cathedral which was built by a genius architect 100 years ago . Also , we waited for the sunset on the beach together. We really had a impressed memory there.

A disappointing trip I'd like to talk about a trip of HONGKONG I took . It was the most terrible trip I've experienced. That happened 5 years ago. One day , my mother called me and asked me if I could accompany her to HK for holidays. Since I was at home seldomly ,I accepted. However,I wouldn't have thought that we would participate in a package trip with my mom's friends. At the beginning of the trip, we took a mid-night fight because of its low price. We had a tour guide who made full use of our day time.We did have no time to roam about by our own. I felt very exhausted because the schedule was so full.I only had 5 hours for sleep. For me ,the most unbearable thing was that the tour guide took us to some certain shopping malls every day ,persuading us purchase luxury products which were really unnecessary for us. It was a disappointing trip I've never forgeot. I won't involve a package trip for ever.

My favorite APP I'd like to talk about an APP named " going to the kitchen “ 。The first time I knew this APP is from one of my friends .Last year ,one day, one of my friends showed a picture of breakfast he made by himself online. I was surprised,because he was unable to cook before.Then I asked him what happened ,why he could make such delicious food now.He told me that he used a special APP ,by which you could learn cooking easily and fast by yourself. The APP he recommended to me was "going to kitchen".There are a variety of cooking methods on it ,from eastern food to western food .Clear illustrations on it make things easy to understand for primary learners.Also,there are many teaching videos ou it ,which make things more direct.Now,I have become a big fan of cooking and being fond of inviting friends to my home ,treating them by what I cook to share my happiness with them . Sometimes , I like to put pictures of what I cook on the APP to meet people from different areas but having the same hobby with me.
