疯狂英语易背作文 46.My Spring Vacation

The weather will get warmer with the coming of spring. People usually like to go for an outing at this time of the year. Up to now, I still remember one of my spring outings. It was a very interesting experience. One weekend, my schoolmates and I decided¹ to visit a famous mountain. It was a bright and cheerful morning. We were singing and laughing all the way. Passing a large piece of green grassland² at the foot of the mountain, we began to climb. We could see many beautiful flowers and oak trees on the mountainside. The mountain was quite high, but we finally reached the top. No sooner had we arrived at the top than it began to rain. From the mountain top, we could get a bird's eye view of the town. It looked so beautiful in the rain and mist. We also visited a temple there and had a talk with some monks³, who told us about the history of the temple and Sakyamuni, the founder⁴ of Buddhism⁵. When it was getting dark, we returned. Though I was tired that night, I was too excited to fall asleep.
