My father and I used to climb the mountains near my house．Climbing has been a very  1   thing for me since I was a kid．

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations and from them I learned a lot．In fact, without mountaineering（登山）, Dad couldn't have had enough time to spend with me because he was very   2  himself．

Once we climbed Palgoly Mountain．It was very   3   for me because I was only ten years old． At first, I felt very   4  ．But soon I had pain（疼） in   5  of my legs, so I wanted to give up  6  ．My father said, "  7   is a season when everything comes to life（復(fù)蘇） again．The mountain and the field where we are standing are beautiful．You can   8  see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you   9   the top．You can always enjoy a lot of beautiful scenery at the top, but you can't when you are halfway（中途） up．"

At that time, I was   10   young to understand his words, but now I get it．And I also have new hope and confidence．

Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays.They want to go out to see something different or do something interesting.So people from the country come to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays.During the holidays trains,buses and planes are all very busy.It is very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets.Many people take cars or buses for traveling.

Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holiday.There was too much traffic on the road,so we had to move very slowly.It took us about an hour to get out of the town.After some time,we came to a hill.It was green and beautiful.We thought this was a good place for a picnic,so we stopped and took the food,fruit and drinks out of the car.We sat down and began to eat.Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain.We had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car.Then we drove back home.What a sad holiday!
