Most of us like to know where we are and where we're going. It can feel strange to be lost. The words "being lost" make us think of a dark wood or street, 1 that's not always the case (情况).

Once we were on holiday in Venice. My dad planned to go out to take photos the next morning. Mum wasn't2 , but I would go with him, only because I could have the biggest bowl of Italian ice cream if I did.

So at 5 a. m. the next day we left the hotel and started 3 in the streets. When the sun came up, Dad started taking photos and I 4 him, down small streets and over little bridges.

After about an hour, I turned to Dad and asked, "Where are we?" He said, "I have no idea." I felt a bit afraid, but Dad just 5 and said, "We're lost!" I told him to 6 his map or phone. He said, "I only brought the 7. Come on, let's get more lost!" He laughed again.

His laughter made me feel 8 I began to forget that we were lost, and just started watching and enjoying everything that was happening around me.

9, after about four hours of walking around, we were back. Mum asked anxiously (担心地), "Where have you been?" I said with a big 10, "We got lost!"

These days it isn't likely (可能) to get lost with so many things around us—maps, apps on our phones and so on. But Dad showed me that being lost can sometimes be something to enjoy.

Being young or old, all children love to play different interesting games. In a school in Britain at playing time, you will see children playing all kinds of games. And after school if the weather is good and when homework is done, you are sure to find children playing outdoors, too.

Everywhere you look in a playground, children are having fun chasing (追逐) each other! Games of chase are very popular in Britain, just like everywhere else in the world. There are lots of types of chase games, and lots of different names for them. "Tig" "Tag" or "Debby" are all names for the same game. In those games, somebody is "it" or "on". He must chase his friends and try to catch them. If he can touch them on the shoulder (肩膀), he makes it.

One of the best things about chase games is you don't need any other equipment (设备), like a bat or ball to play. Ball games are always popular, and wherever you look in the UK you will find children playing football. Often, if there aren't any goalposts (球门柱) to use, children will use their coats as goalposts.

At weekends, when there is lots of time to play, many boys and girls enjoy skating. Most towns have skate parks. These places have ramps (坡道) and rails for doing tricks. It's fun to ride bikes, too. BMX bikes are great for doing tricks and jumps, and some towns have special places for people to practice tricks.

Whatever types of games you like to play, there are lots to choose from.
