Make a mind map of Eva’s journey.
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to you from Huangshan Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its breathtaking waters and caves.
We started from Anshan, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip – a home on wheels. It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of birds. The views were fantastic, though. There were forests, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It’s like another world.
I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world.So, my next destination is Fanjingshan,where I’m excited to walk along the beautiful scenery.
Yours
LiHua
