You Can Make a Windsock (风筒)!
Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own！This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps.
You will need：
●one piece of heavy colored paper ●five ribbons
●strong tape ●a string ●a pencil
What to do：
Step 1：Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.
Step 2：Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.
Step 3：Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie the ends of the string together.
Step 4：Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.
Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work？The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. You can also hang it outside and watch it dance around on its own!

I can remember clearly the day I arrived at the language camp where something magical happened to me.
My heart was beating fast and I really wanted to tell my _____to turn around, but we were entering the gate and I knew it was too late. I was going to be dropped off and _____ by myself at the age of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me in Norwegian(挪威语). What had I gotten myself into? I couldn't understand any other _____but English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was upset all the time, wondering _____ I really could survive the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff, but then she had to leave. I was terrified to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting for me with a smiling face, my eyes were______.
I was so scared the first night that I had to call Mom,______she insisted I should learn to be independent. Right when I was feeling helpless, Bob's mom called and her words comforted me, “Isn't it ______ to know a bunch of kids of your age?” So it was! Leaving home meant I could connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the ______ began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it ______ to get along with others. What's more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and grew to ______ this place. When my mom came to get me, I was excited to ______ her around all my favorite places. After the closing ceremony, I was so ______ to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into tears again. I knew that I had to _________ the next summer—I was hooked(着迷的).
Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row, I cannot wait to ______ my little brothers to camp this summer. Maybe someday I will be a volunteer there to help kids take their first independent step away from home. I ______ know how they feel as their parents drop them off. I'm sure some of them will also become hooked on such experiences.
