Hong Kong Adventure 2

• An Unlucky Day!

2

• Susan and her grandfather went to Cheung Chau
  today.
• They had some good and bad experiences.
• Susan wrote an email to her friends Tom and Danny
  to tell them what happened. Lets read it
  together.

3

• Dear Tom and Danny,
• Thank you for your help. We went to Cheung Chau
  on my grandpa's birthday. It was fun. But we
  had some unpleasant experiences.

We wanted to go there in the morning. So I
checked a ferry timetable from the Internet. It
was incorrect! So we missed the ferry at 9 a.m.
4

• On Cheung Chau, we found a nice restaurant
  next to the pier. The food was good. But the
  waiters were impolite and careless.

We watched the parade in the afternoon. Children
dressed as different kinds of people. But it was
too crowded. A tall man stood in front of us. It
was impossible to see. My grandpa was very
disappointed.
5

• Then, we went to Cheung Po Tsai Cave. Cheung Po
  Tsai was a pirate. People said that he rebuilt
  the cave and hid his treasures in it. Do you
  think the story is true?

6

Later at night, we went to see the bun-scrambling
contest. The climbers went up to the top of the
tower to get the lucky buns! It was very exciting
but the bun tower looked a bit unsafe to climb up.
7

• We returned to the pier after midnight. We were
  very tired. On the ferry, I gave my grandpa an
  unexpected gift! It was a bun keychain. He liked
  it a lot!

Thank you for your ideas. Cheung Chau is a good
place to travel. We were just unlucky to be there
at the wrong time. Love, Susan
