Unit 1 Happy Holiday  Reading Plus 课堂练习题

Holiday Experiences

Lin Tao

My best holiday experience was two years ago. My family lives in Wuhan, the biggest city in Central China. That summer, I decided to do something cool: cycling from Wuhan to Beijing with some friends from college.

My parents were surprised at my idea, but soon they gave me all their support. With their help, I made a cycling plan. I also learned a lot from other people's cycling experiences. I packed everything I needed and started the trip. 

The cycling took us almost a month to complete. It was tiring but worthwhile. I saw beautiful mountains, forests, and rivers. I met a lot of nice people, and some of them gave me a lot of help along the way. 

But there were also difficulties, and sometimes I just wanted to give up.  However, when I finally arrived at Tian'anmen Square, I was so proud of myself.
