It‘s well known that the Yellow River is the second longest river in China. Though my hometown is close to her, yet I had no chance to enjoy myself at her beautiful scenery. What a pity!To my great joy we were told that we would go there and have a good look at the lovely river on Sunday.

 

　　It took us quite a few hours‘ ride to reach the bank of the river,where we saw the Chunü Spring①. It is one of the most famous hot springs there . The water of the spring is so clear that we couldn‘t help diving into it. Our head teacher, together with us, swam happily. Floating on the water, I looked around . We were surrounded by the great mountains.

 

　　Then we got on some small boats. We had been longing to float on the Mother River. Seeing her powerful current and attractive beauty, I felt proud of being one of her sons.It was noon before we knew it. We went ashore② and then danced and sang happily on the grassland. We helped ourselves to the tasty③ fish, crabs④ and other food, which we cooked ourselves.

 

　　It was time for us to go home. We had to say good-bye to the Mother River. We all felt reluctant⑤ when we left her.
