I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasnt the most athletic person so
18、I knew that I couldnt stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.The ride there was definitely long but worth it.

The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us
20、 closer together.The great thing about nature is that, its just you, the views, and the people around you. Theres nothing there to bother you and its the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.

Pretend the wood is a person, and the nail is a mean rum
25、or(语言) about that person. If you hammer the nail in, youre obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail, theres still a hole in the wood, and the damage has been done. There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying(欺侮).
