Hello, everyone. I am a student in Qingdao No. 15 Middle School. I will go to Dalian for a summer holiday with my parents. How do we get there? At first I can go there by ship and I can see the sea. If I want to go faster, I can fly there. But it is the most expensive way. I can take a train too. It is a very safe way. If I have a car, I can drive there. What about going by bike? It is funny. But it takes the most time. I think the summer holiday is about over when I get there.
