Unit 5 Theme parks
假设你是红星中学高三(1)班的学生李华，请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序，为校刊“英语园地”写一篇短文，记述你和朋友上周日去北京奥林匹克森林公园(Beijing Olympic Forest Park)游玩时发生的一件事。
精彩美文
Last Sunday, I went to Beijing Olympic Forest Park with my friend Chris. As soon as we got there, we were so attracted by the breathtaking scenery that we couldn't help taking many photos to record the beautiful moments. As we walked on, we noticed a kite hanging up on a branch, but its owner, a little boy, was too short to get it down. The boy looked worried and we decided to help him. Unluckily, the kite was also beyond our reach. Then we looked around and found a stick, with which we got the kite down. We gave the kite back to the boy. He was very delighted and thanked us for what we did. We also felt very happy and it made our outing more enjoyable.
