If so, you might be moved by Andy, who tries to get freedom by running away from the hopeless prison（監(jiān)獄）. It is hard to imagine what life would be like in prison.

All of us were asked to put down everything and then we were checked. We couldnt hide anything. After a while, we were given cards with untrue names and charges（指控）. We read the information loudly and then the “police” explained it in a funny way. For example, a gentlemans charge was carrying an illegal weapon（武器） which was actually just an umbrella.Soon we were divided into groups and went to different rooms. The light was off inside. We could not see anything. All we could hear was our breath. It was the longest five minutes of my life. I was in a tiny room with a number of strangers. I could have the worst feelings as the prisoners. The police finally opened the door and led us to the activity area. We relaxed in the sunlight and decided to behave ourselves in the future.I have visited many museums in Australia. I think Australian museums are quite interesting.

Heres the result.Most students think teachers should choose our homework carefully, and we should be given less homework. Usually, too much homework makes us tired. Some students hope we should be allowed to get to school a little later so that we can get enough sleep. As for parents, they shouldnt push us too hard to take too many after-school classes. Then, we can do what we like.In my opinion, wed better have fewer exams. And its necessary to provide more colorful activities which are good for our development.Yours,Li Wen
