When Aiden asked me to go with him on a camping trip to the mountains, I thought it would mean a cottage with a wood-burning fireplace and hot chocolate. My comfortable image of camping became a nightmare (噩梦) when Aiden and his older brother, Lebron, showed up with camping supplies-tents, rolled-up sleeping bags, and canteens! I did pack a backpack, as instructed, but I had no idea we were going on survival training!
Lebron had a perfect plan, and he hurried me to get in so we could leave the busy city life behind us. Ahead, the mountains appeared bigger than I had remembered them: the trees were larger, and the environment was much more dangerous. At least the weather was amazing-cotton-candy clouds dotted the deep blue sky.
Before we began hiking, Lebron had a sleeping bag stuffed into my pack and told Aiden and me about hiking rules. The first part of the road looked easy. Soon, the path became narrower and rougher, forcing me to talk less. As we went higher, I could see the road zigzagging (蜿蜒) up the mountain.
“It looks closer than it is,” Lebron said, reading my facial expressions. “This is the most difficult part…watch your step, not the view. Loose rocks and tree roots make the road dangerous.”
Finally, we reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and complained. “No time to rest,” Lebron said, looking up at the sky. The weather had been warm all day, and it felt good to relax in the cool wind. “The weather up here changes quickly, and that cool air means a storm is around the corner. We need to set up camp.”

“Breakfast!” My mom called downstairs.
“Today, we will go zip lining(高空滑索)!”My dad followed up in a singsong tone.
I put on my clothes and walked down the stairs slowly.
“Hurry up, we don't want to be late!” My mom urged.
I looked out of the window. The sun was shining. When I entered the dining room, I was met with the nice smell of pancakes. All these made me feel a little bit better.
“What a beautiful day,” I told myself, “I can do it.”
As breakfast went on, I struggled with the mounting fear. It was the first time for me to try zip, lining. To make things worse, I was scared of going to high places. I had tried to get over the unreasonable fear many; many times since it had kept me away from having fun with my friends. And I was particularly fed up with making excuses to cover up my fear of height.
After breakfast, we set out in my dad's car. Along the way, the sun grew hotter, and the leather on the seats started to burn my legs while my parents were talking about the sport enthusiastically. But I was still absorbed in my fear. Eventually, we pulled up to a big park where our instructor was waiting for us
“Good morning!” he said cheerfully. “So, have you all tried this sport before?”
We shook our heads. I got more nervous while the instructor went over the safety instructions and warned us of the possible dangers of the sport.
“All right, it is time to hit the tails!” said the instructor after we fastened our safety belts. For a moment, I congratulated myself that he did not note my fear.
“It is a really good beginning,” I told myself, “How happy I would be if I could make it.”

I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton's poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian's slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team, they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance. They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.

When I was a young girl, I used to love going adventuring. My dad always took me down to the bush every weekend and we collected many sticks and stones to add to our collection. I wasn’t like any ordinary girl as I loved the outdoors even as a young toddler. I was never into dolls and tea parties.
Soon I became old enough to venture out on my own. When I ventured forth through the Australian bush land, I felt as if I was in heaven. There was nothing more beautiful than feeling the cool air brushing across my back. The leaves crushed beneath my feet at every step. I felt as if I was home.
As the sun dipped down beyond the horizon, there was nothing more to do than to head back home. On my way I heard a screeching（尖叫声）. It was the most horrible sound I had ever heard in my life. Sure enough, I just had to investigate. In the dead of night, I headed towards the screech and came across a lake or river of some sort. Looking up and down the river, I couldn’t find a way to cross it. In much shame I decided to give up. It was about one o’ clock in the morning and I thought my dad must be getting worried.
As I moved away from the lake, there was only one problem that I did not remember which direction I came from. My brain told me left but my instinct (直觉) told me right. In my past experiences I had always gone with my instinct. So of course I went with my instinct. As I walked off into the distance, I could see the sun breaking out in my distant view.
