I can remember clearly the day I arrived at the language camp where something magical happened to me.
My heart was beating fast and I really wanted to tell 1 to turn around, but we were entering the gate and I knew it was too late. I was going to be dropped off and 2 by myself at the age
of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me in Norwegian(挪威语). What had I gotten myself into? I couldn’t understand any other 3 but English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was upset all the time, wondering 4 I really could survive (幸存) the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff, but then had to leave. I was terrified to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting for me with a smiling face, my eyes were 5 .
I was so scared the first night that I had to call mom, 6 she insisted I should learn to be independent. Right when I was feeling helpless, Bob’s mom called and her words comforted me, “Isn’t it 7 to know a bunch of kids of your age?” So it was! Leaving home meant I could connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the 8 began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it 9 to get along with others. What’s more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and grew to 10 this place. When my mom came to get me, I was excited to 11 her around all my favorite places. After the closing ceremony, I was so 12 to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into tears again. I knew that I had to 13 the next summer --- I was hooked (着迷).
Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row, I cannot wait to 14 my little brothers to camp this summer. Maybe someday I will be a volunteer there to help kids take their first independent step away from home. I 15 know how they feel as their parents drop them off. I’m sure some of them will also become hooked on such experience.
