Risky but fun in Laos
Sometimes you have to go somewhere risky to see the best views.Or at least,to a place that challenges you.This is what happened when I went to Laos in Southeast Asia.
It’s a small country,and people don’t have much money.But I had heard promises of beautiful scenery,great food,and friendly people.I’d also heard that I’d have a chance to fly through the jungle.
First I landed in Luang Prabang—a beautiful,small city with a wonderfully slow way of life—and met up with my friends.We saw some great sights,including waterfalls and many Buddhist temples and statues.From there,we traveled south to Paksong,where the jungle was located.
To get there,however,we had to go on what I described as an “overnight coach(长途客车)ride of death”.On the trip,my friend David was very sick from some bad food he’d eaten in Luang Prabang the night before.My friend Calvin and I kept looking at each other in fear when our coach tried to turn around very dangerous corners on a road on the side of a cliff,without falling off.The coach kept making unexplained noises.We were all scared.
So we were all quite tired when we finally arrived at Treetop Explorer,the company that would take us to the jungle.But it was worth it when we finally started zip-lining(滑索道)through the trees.I put myself in a harness(系带)before I took my first jump on the wire(索道)to get from tree to tree,and although I wasn’t really flying,it really felt like I was—I forgot my fear of heights when I saw the rivers and trees of the jungle go past at a great speed underneath me.
We spent two incredible days in the jungle.I headed home a few days after this,but my time flying through the green jungle with great friends will stay with me forever.

参考范文:
Dear teachers and students,
These days one major environmental problem in our city is air pollution.Every day we have to take in very dirty air,which does great harm to our health.To make the air in the city fresher,we should keep the following in mind.
Firstly,we should take a bus or ride a bicycle instead of driving a car and try to use cleaner fuels.Secondly,we should not throw litter here and there but put it into the dustbin.Thirdly,some factories should be closed or moved out of the city.Finally,we need to plant more trees or grass to make the air fresh.
Let’s take action and try our best to make the air in the city cleaner!
Thank you!
The Students’ Union
