I used to be a girl who knew nothing about natural wonders. I thought they were just ordinary mountains, rivers and forests. I never paid attention to their beauty and mystery. I even thought exploring them was a waste of time. When I was 14 years old, my parents took me to visit the Li River in Guilin. At first, I was not interested. But when I saw the clear water, green mountains and strange-shaped rocks, I was shocked. The scenery was so beautiful that I couldn’t help taking photos. My parents told me that the Li River is one of the most famous natural wonders in China. They told me stories about the river and its history. With their help, I slowly changed. I started to learn about natural wonders. I read books, watched documentaries and searched for information online. I learned about the Amazon Rainforest, the Grand Canyon and the Victoria Falls. I realized that natural wonders are amazing gifts from nature. They are not only beautiful, but also important for our planet. Last year, I joined a school activity to explore a small cave near our city. We went into the cave with our teacher. It was dark inside, but we used flashlights to see the beautiful stalactites (钟乳石). We learned about how the cave was formed and how to protect it. This experience taught me that exploring natural wonders is not only interesting, but also meaningful. It helps us understand nature better and learn to protect it. Now I am 15 years old. I am no longer the girl who knew nothing about natural wonders. I am curious about them and love exploring them. I know that my journey of exploring natural wonders is still going on. I will keep learning and exploring, and I will do my best to protect natural wonders for our future. 1. What was the writer like when she was young? A. She was interested in natural wonders. B.
