12 Last Wednesday my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang a wellknown town looped all around by streams When we arrived at the town Caroline was so excited that she saw and began singing loudly there Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us Now as Caroline was dying for a boat we decided to tour the town by boat Now loud now soft Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence Though we did not see anything spectacular we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and time permitting I’d like to go there again
