It was a sunny day. Sophie and her parents decided to go boating in the park. Sophie was amazed by the calm lake in front of her when she reached the lake. It was so still that it reflected (映出) the clouds above like a mirror. But when Sophie walked excitedly to the shore of the lake, she saw small waves spread out. After a while, the lake became calm again, and the perfect reflection of the clouds returned.
Feeling adventurous, Sophie wanted to discover more about the lake. Her dad saw how excited she was and gave her a life jacket to put on. After they were both ready, they got into a boat to explore the quiet waters. The boatman (船夫) gave her a paddle (船桨) and showed her how to use it. At first, Sophie wasn’t good at using the paddle, but with the help of the boatman, she quickly mastered the technique of rowing.
As they moved further into the lake, they passed over some green and heart-shaped leaves floating on the water. Yellow flowers stood out among the leaves, shining in the sunlight. It looked like something from a beautiful painting.
Then, as they left the area with the flowers behind, a butterfly landed on Sophie’s paddle. “Hi, how beautiful,” she said before it flew away. Sophie tried to paddle softly. “Let’s stay close to the shore,” her dad suggested.
Sophie was excited when she saw a turtle (龟) swimming near them. It had short legs and red and yellow on its neck. “Hi, I’m Sophie. What’s your name? You’ve got four paddles. We only have two,” she told the turtle. She wanted to get a better look, but the turtle swam away. “Was I too loud, Dad? Do you think it’ll come back?” she asked. Her dad just smiled and nodded.

10 . The Best Bars and Cafes in Amsterdam
Hoppe
A reproduction Old Master on the wall, fine sand on the wooden floor, barrels (桶) behind the bar—Hoppe is every inch a traditional “brown cafe”. Hoppe has been going strong since 1670—the right-hand part, the “Standing Room”, is the oldest. Hoppe becomes unbearably packed with after-work drinkers in suits in the early evening, which is unsuitable for relaxation.

De Jaren
White walls, light woods, high ceilings and minimalist design combine with huge windows overlooking the Amstel River. De Jaren is a long-standing networking venue for those who are working on the media. It’s also great for resting on a rainy afternoon, in a basket chair or at the long reading table. There’s a good range of sandwiches and salads, as well as affordable fuller meals, throughout the day.

Canal Belt
Still going strong since the heady 1970s, when it was at the heart of European counterculture, the “Milky Way” is a cutting-edge music and performance venue, and hosts wild weekend club nights. The original old dairy building has been expanded with flash new extensions to include a cinema, art gallery and cafe, hosting everything from Dutch pop via rock and hip hop to contemporary dance. Booking ahead is recommended for some events—there may be a pre-booking surcharge.

Cafe Van Zuylen
It’s a down-to-earth “brown cafe”. One room, especially in the evenings, is cheerfully noisy, and crowded shoulder-to-shoulder. In good weather, tables and basket chairs are spread out on a huge balcony, which stretches across a bridge over the Singel Canal—an ideal spot to bathe in the sun for a while.
