A walk in the park
Today I took a walk in a park near my home. It is an old park with many big trees inside. Its name used to be called the People's Park, but it was renamed after an ancient writer called ShiNaian, who was from my hometown. The park has a big marble monument in memory of the soldiers who died protecting this area.
Upon entering the park, a main road passes through it and appears before one's eyes. On the left, there was a big square and beside it a rock garden with an old building, a curved pool and a zig-zagging bridge. There were also many lovely lotuses in the pool.
Familiar people get togther because of similar hobbies including two old people who were practicing tai-chi at one corner of the square, people who sung Shaoxing opera in the pavilion, one man who played the erhu, another man who played the trichord, and a lady who was singing.
Many people like Beijing opera, but I enjoy Shaoxing opera more because it is very soft and touching.
Today when I went to the park, I was in very bad mood, so I sat on a chair and cried. But soon afterwards I felt pieceful and cheery. Maybe it was because of the trees, the surroundings, and the people. The air was leisurely. What a wonderful place!0 votedOctober 16, 20151- Practice, practice, practice. If you want to improve your reading then you must read a lot, because there is no short-cut that I know of. I suggest you focus less on memorising vocabulary and more on trying to understanding the meaning of the sentences. This is because you don't need to understand every single word to comprehend a piece of text.0 votedSeptember 20, 20150
