Hiking day : Practice writing

student version

 

My edition:


Hiking day

On a warm and nice day, a happy family agreed to go hiking at the park nearby home, "Grayson Highland State Park". It was the husband idea. 

Sugar was a lucky Asian woman who married to a very good American man and moved from the busy city of Thailand to live in the USA countryside. They enjoyed exploring in nature and educated their children, a daughter and two sons to love and admire everything surrounding. Everyone prepared their own belongings for a long hike and never forgot the walking sticks. They helped supporting the knees when walked on the long trails and maybe the steep hills. Five of them carried backpacks individually. The mother arranged water and lunches for each and put on the table which they grabbed and put in the backpacks before heading to the car. It took about two hours drive to get to the park entrance. The father was knowing the location very well. There was no park ranger around but not a problem. The visitors paid the daily fee $7 a day per car by their own.The envelopes provided for inserted the money and dropped in the box at the self service registration spot. Then, he tore the tag of the envelope and hung inside the car at the dashboard. Sugar was amazed by the system as people were sincerely. After that, they were heading to the parking lot where was 10 minutes away from the entrance. There were many cars that cause them drove around for a little while until they got a spot to park. Sugar realized from the amount of the cars that many people came to hike on the same day as them.

They walked slowly and appreciated everything they saw. Also, they walked carefully when steps on the hills and curves. Father walked in the front, children followed him and mother at the end of the row. There were narrow trails on the mountains. Many times, they stopped and stood at the side to let other people passed. The walking sticks were useful for everyone. Father always pointed at wild flowers and berries and explained to children then they learned about variety wild plants and fruits. Eventually, they were on the top of the big mountain and decided to have lunch. It was gorgeous scenery in front of them. Thus, they could see the valley from the distance.

None of them complained or tired but joyful and excited along the trails, especially when the children saw wild ponies. They were adorable. They spent 4 hours on the trails where did not need to walk back but it was a fork, direction back to the parking area. They were sweaty and stink but enjoyed the trip very much. 

It was a priceless family time.

ฝึกแต่งเรื่อง The Archery Legend


นักเรียนส่ง ตรวจแล้ว คอมเม้นท์ให้แบบนี้



My edition : (I do not know about the game then I guess from what my student wrote and do my best to write it better. I did not do any research about the game, if you may ask.)

Spring was the season for outdoor activities which my husband loved and enjoyed to go out and did a bow shooting. It stared in the countryside where we lived. The local archery clubs were opening and welcoming the members. My husband was one of them who enthusiasm in shooting the bow very much. When he was a young man and travelling around the USA to compete his potential with other competitors. Of course, he always won the games that made him to be the archery legend. He skipped his beloved sport about 25 years and spent time with his work until the age of 71. He retired and returned to his favorite game again.

He applied for a senior tournament nearby more often and I went along with him every single trip. It was fun and glad to see him happy, even though, he did not win most.

For me, these were the chances to explore and learn new things, to know more people and made new friends. Also, admired the scenic , amazed the camping and studied the forest at each place we passed and stopped.

The local club charged $20 fee for each event. It was not bad when compared to the happiness that my husband got in return. There were 20-25 rubber animal targets at each club. There was a circle on each animal which displayed differences score of the shooting area on it. The targets were standing at the end of the shooting points.  The top score was 12 then 10, 8 and 5 subsequently. The total scare was the criteria for the competitor potential.

The bow shooting is my new experience in the USA. Eventually, I am not a shooter but a wife who follows her husband through all tournaments. I am glad to have more new friends along each game. Moreover, I have been learning how to play the game and admiring the nature most locations. Someone doubted, why don't I shoot the bow along with them. It is not my thing and I am fine to be around with them in the woods especially with my beloved husband.
