【英语趣味课堂】夏令营-Summer Camp
时间：2019-02-16 作者：英语课 分类：英语趣味课堂
When I was eight years old I went to Girl Scout 1 camp with my best friend Lauren. It was for two weeks and it was in the middle of July so it was really hot. We had no air conditioning. We actually slept in tee-pees like the native Americans. It was a great time. Everyday we took swimming lessons. We went to arts and crafts 2. We had to help cook the meals. We made breakfast, lunch and dinner. We learned 3 how to canoe 4, ride in a canoe, and we also, what did we do? We rode horses, too. We got to ride horses. At first, maybe the first three days, I was really homesick, and I cried and I wanted to go home but after one week I loved it and I didn't want to leave.

tee-pee
We slept in tee-pees like the Native Americans.
A 'tee-pee' is a tent that is shaped like a cone 5. Some of the Native American tribes 6 used these as houses. Notice the following:
When they were children, they had a tee-pee that they put up in the basement.
Have you ever seen a real traditional tee-pee?

If you 'take lessons' you learn how to do something or improve your skills in that area. Notice the following:
