There are many interesting stories between Father and Son.

One day, Father and Son were walking slowly 1 a river, suddenly Son cried, "Daddy, look, there is a woman falling into the river!"Without thinking too much, Father jumped into the water and 2to the woman, "Don't worry, lady. I'm a good swimmer and I will try my best to save you." Father pulled the woman on to the bank (岸边). He was 3but happy. But the lady was not thankful to Father at all; instead, she slapped Father heavily. She jumped into water again. Oops! This was a 4competition !

It was snowing 5, but Son was very happy. He spent a lot of time making a snowman with Father. It was tall and big. Son liked it very much. But at night, someone 6the snowman down. When Son saw this the next morning, he cried sadly. Father was angry and decided to find out who did this. He was dressed as a snowman and stood by the road. One man came here and wanted to push the snowman again. Bang! The snowman kicked his ass. "Oh, my god! I met a ghost! "The man ran away quickly.

I went to Grand Canyon (大峡谷) National Park in July 2012 for the first time and I knew I wanted to work there as a park ranger（管理员）. Park rangers protect the park's animals, plants, land, buildings, and people.

Now, as a park ranger for Grand Canyon National Park, I share the science, history and beauty of this park with thousands of visitors from around the world.

National parks are like outdoor museums. Park rangers have all kinds of jobs, depending on where they work and what they studied during college. I teach school field trips（实地考察）, work at visitor centers and help people stay safe during their visit.

My favorite part of my job is showing children their first look at the Grand Canyon during school field trips. Children are often amazed at the canyon's size and colors. Sometimes, they think it looks like a painting.

Being a park ranger requires a lot of energy. I walk several miles and talk with hundreds of people each day. Park rangers must enjoy working with people and speaking in front of groups. Nearly 5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park every year.

Park rangers must also be prepared for any situation. Recently, I broke a traffic jam(堵塞). It was caused by a huge elk（麋鹿）standing in the road. Elks can become dangerous when they get scared, so I asked visitors to stop their cars and take pictures from far away. Believe it or not, I also help protect people from monkeys. It is not allowed to feed animals in national parks. But sometimes, visitors try to feed monkeys.

I used to be the shortest in my class. I had no friends and always felt 1 . On my 12th birthday, I made a 2 that I could grow up quickly.

Last summer vacation, I was so worried about my 3 that I didn't want to go to summer camp. But my mom said,"You will learn something 4 you get there."And I had to say yes.

5 Monday, my teacher Maggie asked all of us to climb a wall. When I saw the wall, I was so 6 . It might be ten meters high! I thought I could 7 climb that huge wall successfully.

After the other campers finished, I told Maggie I wanted to 8 climbing.

"Amy, when you meet 9 , just believe in yourself and never give up."said Maggie. Hearing this, I felt a little upset. Suddenly, I had a good 10 . I pretended (假装) to 11 my knee and couldn't move.

"How's the knee? Are you OK?"Maggie asked. She was so 12 that I didn't want to cheat(欺骗) her again.

I said sorry to her. Maggie smiled, and showed me 13 she climbed the wall.The other campers were also cheering for me.

I tried my best and kept trying. And finally something 14 happened—I made it!

From this experience, I've learned a lot. Anything is possible if you 15 in yourself.
