I' m Susan. I love going on holiday and I do it every year.

My best holiday was staying in Maldives, at the Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort. I had a great time doing water sports and eating in restaurants near the hotel. And my boyfriend asked me to marry him there! We were walking along the beach one evening and he suddenly asked me ... After the walk, we had a special dinner on the beach, but I was so excited that I didn't eat much. And then we sat on the beach to enjoy the beautiful night.

Last September, I went to Cornwall, England with my parents. I've been to Cornwall's beaches in the rain before, but we were lucky with the weather this time. The sun shone (照耀) every day. I decided to start surfing (冲浪) and learned it in just two days. It was fun.

One of the worst things about travelling is losing the luggage (行李). Once, I lost my luggage in Baden-Baden, Germany. I went there to sing in a show. Baden-Baden is famous for its natural hot springs (温泉), but there aren't many clothes shops there. So I had to wear a friend's clothes.

Holidays are good for a rest (休息) from work, and for learning new things. But-ten days on holiday is usually long enough for me, then I want to get back to work.

One day, I saw a boy shop alone at the shop I worked. He chose some school things he wanted and went to the checkout (付款台).

The young shop assistant (店员) told him he needed to pay $37.60. The boy became very sad and said he only had $20. He took out one thing at a time, and at last he got down to his $20. He cried and asked if he could call his mum to pick him up. He called his mum. However, his mum was too busy to pick him up in a minute.

He tried to stop crying and walked outside to wait on the chair in front of the shop. This was too much for the young assistant. She looked outside all the time to see if the boy was all right. Then she said, "I hope I can pay for the rest (剩余部分) of his things." One of the other girls said she had some money. Then two others said they could help too.

These four young girls pooled their money and found they had more than enough to pay for the boy's things. Then they chose more school things, and gave them all to the boy. The boy smiled happily~ His mum arrived much later, but he didn't just run to the car; he ran back into the shop and called out, "Thank you!"

I was so proud (骄傲的) of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure (快乐) of giving.
