In the first day of the National holiday, I went to my home town and I asked my parents that we go to Beijing. They never visit Beijing, they agreed. So we went to Beijing on the third of October by train. Including my parents, my wife, my daughter, my mother-in-law, and my cousin.  We visited the great wall, tian tai, and tian an men.

Reading

Police in Perth, Australia were chasing a man. After two hours, the man drove towards the beach.

He stopped at the beach for a moment. When the police car arrived, he drove into the ocean.

The unusual tactic, however, did not work. His car began to sink, so he climbed out of a window and tried to swim away. Police officers waded into the water and caught him.
