My favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park. As the world’s first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the variety of its wildlife, but it is probably best known for its bears.

Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that(定从) took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle flew over the snow-capped mountains, which(定从) were reflected in the still lake below. While I was concentrating on photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly had a feeling that (同位语从句)I was being watched(过去进行时的被动语态). Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned... and froze. Only meters away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who(宾语从句) would move first. My legs started shaking. Somehow, I forced my finger to press the button. A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera. My most frightening but magical experience was now captured forever in a single image.
去年春天,我沿着黄石公园的一条小路穿过一片昏暗的森林。当我终于走出森林时,眼前的景色令人叹为观止。白雪皑皑的山峰倒映在山脚下平静的湖面上,一只鹰掠过山顶。当我正聚精会神地拍摄这惊人的景观时,我突然感觉有什么在盯着我。我慢慢地转身,相机还端在眼前……然后我僵住了。那是一只熊,离我只有几米远。它也盯着我,水珠从厚厚的棕色皮毛上滴下来。时间凝固了,我和熊都等着看谁会先动。我的双腿开始颤抖。但我竟然还硬是按下了快门。一秒钟过后,那头熊转身跑回了森林。等我从震惊中缓过神来,我查看了相机。这个可怕至极却又如此神奇的经历已经被永久地定格在一张照片中。
