五、书面表达
One snowy day, I was on my way home from school. The snow was falling heavily and the wind was blowing strongly. The road was covered with thick snow and it was very slippery. I walked carefully, but still fell down several times.
When I finally got home, I was completely exhausted and my clothes were all wet. But I felt a sense of relief because I was safe at home. Looking out of the window, I saw the beautiful white world outside. Although the journey was difficult, the snowy scenery was so charming that it made me forget my tiredness for a moment.
This experience made me realize that bad weather can bring some troubles, but it also gives us a different kind of beauty.
