Taking a journey can be a happy thing. However, a journey may go wrong sometimes because of something unexpected(始料不及的). I still remember a 1 journey that I took three years ago. I was going to the airport with my 2 . We were going to London on holiday, and we had to be at the airport two hours before the plane took off.
My friend and I 3 home early enough. Usually, it took 40 minutes to go to the airport by 4 . But it rained hard that day. The heavy rain caused a big traffic jam on the way! The traffic wasn't moving at all. We didn't 5 what to do. It was a little late to go another way, so we just sat in the car and waited. After ten minutes, the traffic 6 moving slowly. But we couldn't wait any longer. We 7 to find another way to the airport. However, we weren't sure of the way, and we got lost. Finally, we found the 8 way and arrived at the airport just 40 minutes before the plane was going to leave. We were running out of time and had to ask an airport worker for help. 9 , with the worker's help, we caught our flight(航班)in the end.
Although we didn't miss our flight, the starting point of the journey was terrible. But I also 10 a lesson from it: Always think more about unexpected things like the weather and traffic.
Have you ever read Little Women by US writer Louisa May Alcott? The classic has been changed into plays, films and television programs many times because of its popularity since it came out in 1868. It tells a story of a mother raising her four daughters, while their dad is away fighting a war. Meg, the eldest, wants to live a better life very much. Jo, the second-born, wants nothing more than to be a writer. Beth is a sweet girl who loves music and always brings joy to others. The youngest daughter, Amy, dreams of being an artist. After reading Little Women, I have a feeling of warmth and kindness from the family.
In the following scene, the girls talk about what they can buy with the very little money they have. They feel hopeful about the future even though their dreams may not come true.
"I can't expect anything from Mother or you. I know I only have one dollar with me. Although it isn't that much, it works. I can at least buy the book Undine andSintran for myself. I've wanted it so long," said Jo. "I planned to spend mine on new music," said Beth. "I shall get a nice box of drawing pencils. I really need them," said Amy. "Mother didn't say anything about our money, but she does wish us to get something. Let's each buy what we need. I'm sure we work hard enough to make it," cried Jo. |
