Reference Text
Dear Zhang Ke,
I experienced an adventure last weekend. It has left such a deep impression on me that I still remember it very well.
There is a deep cave in the mountain at the back of our village. As a naughty boy, I, together with another two boys, was determined to make an adventure into the cave one afternoon. At first, we were very excited to find some strange and beautiful stones that we had never seen before. As a result, we decided to go further into the cave. However, the deeper we went into the cave, the darker it became. We were too fascinated by everything in the cave to think of returning. Before long, it became dark before we realized it, and we couldn't see anything in the cave and were unable to find our way back. Not knowing what to do in the dark cave, we felt frightened and burst into tears.
Fortunately, my father and some villagers came into the cave with flashlights. We were so happy to see them because we felt safe at that time. I am so deeply impressed by this adventure that I shall never forget it.
I do hope to have another adventure with you someday!
Li Hua
