Most supermarkets in China provided free plastic bags．It was convenient for people to do shopping，but things changed．To protect the environment，supermarkets all over China stopped providing free plastic bags from June 1，2008．If you don’t want to pay money to buy them，you’ll have to bring your own shopping bags．

    What can we use to hold things we buy from shops? Students at Qingshan Middle School had some good ideas．One idea was making different kinds of eco-shopping bags．54students at the school made their own eco-shopping bags．They held an eco-shopping bag show last Friday afternoon．Many students made the bags with used clothes．They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them．Some bags were made of used materials like used paper，old newspapers．Some were made of eco-materials like bamboo．

    A boy student，Wang Lin made his bag with several old newspapers．We asked him whether the bag was strong enough．Wang Lin said it was．“No problem．I took six bottles of water in the bag from the shop to my home yesterday evening，”he said，“I think it’s strong enough to hold even ten bottles of water．”

    Fang Yuanyuan，a girl student，had a more traditional way to make her bag—a bamboo basket．“It was a hard job．”she said，“With my grandfather’s help，I spent a whole afternoon making it．”

The students also asked their parents and friends to use eco-shopping bags instead of plastic ones．Next Saturday afternoon，the school will hold another eco-shopping bag show to help shops and stores get ideas from the students’ work．

After graduating from school, I didn’t go directly to university. Instead, I spent a year travelling round the world.
I started my trip in London, the UK. I saw theBig Ben and visited the amazing churches.From there, I flew to Paris, and went down to the south of France, which is famous for its lovely beaches.
Next, I flew to India, and traveled round the country for about three months. Although the cities were crowded, the countryside was the beautiful. I stayed in a small fishing village by the sea and it was the happiest time of my life.
I then came to China, a country I had always wanted to visit. I saw Beijing, of course, and climbed up the Great Wall. I also took a trip to see some villages where I learned a lot about Chinese local customs.
Then, at last, I flew all the way home. It had been a great experience, but, yes, it was good to be home again!
