学校组织五年级的同学去露营，这是我头一回离开家在外面过夜。
xué xiào zǔ zhī wǔ nián jí de tóng xué qù lù yíng zhè shì wǒ tóu yì huí lí kāi jiā zài wài miàn guò yè
Our school took the Primary 5 students camping. It was the first time I had ever spent a night away from home.
一到营地，我和同学们就忙着搭帐篷，大家你帮我，我帮你。
yí dào yíng dì wǒ hé tóng xué men jiù máng zhe dā zhàng peng dà jiā nǐ bāng wǒ wǒ bāng nǐ
As soon as we reached the campsite, my classmates and I got busy putting up our tent. Everyone helped each other.
傍晚，天空突然下起了大雨，我们赶紧躲进帐篷里。
bàng wǎn tiān kōng tū rán xià qǐ le dà yǔ wǒ men gǎn jǐn duǒ jìn zhàng peng lǐ
In the evening, heavy rain suddenly started to fall, and we hurried into the tent.
雨水滴滴答答地打在帐篷上，有的同学害怕得哭了起来。
yǔ shuǐ dī dī dā dā de dǎ zài zhàng peng shàng yǒu de tóng xué hài pà de kū le qǐ lái
The rain went pitter-patter on the tent, and some of my classmates were so scared they started to cry.
我打开手电筒，给大家讲笑话，帐篷里很快又充满了笑声。
wǒ dǎ kāi shǒu diàn tǒng gěi dà jiā jiǎng xiào hua zhàng peng lǐ hěn kuài yòu chōng mǎn le xiào shēng
I switched on my torch and told everyone jokes, and soon the tent was full of laughter again.
雨停了，我们钻出帐篷，只见满天星星一闪一闪，美极了。
yǔ tíng le wǒ men zuān chū zhàng peng zhǐ jiàn mǎn tiān xīng xing yì shǎn yì shǎn měi jí le
When the rain stopped, we crawled out of the tent. The whole sky was full of twinkling stars. It was so beautiful.
第二天早上，我自己叠好睡袋，收拾好背包，一点也不用老师帮忙。
dì èr tiān zǎo shang wǒ zì jǐ dié hǎo shuì dài shōu shi hǎo bèi bāo yì diǎn yě bú yòng lǎo shī bāng máng
The next morning, I folded up my sleeping bag and packed my backpack all by myself, without any help from the teachers.
这次露营让我明白了：遇到困难不要害怕，要学会独立。
zhè cì lù yíng ràng wǒ míng bai le yù dào kùn nan bú yào hài pà yào xué huì dú lì
This camping trip taught me not to be afraid when things get hard, and to learn to stand on my own two feet.
