4 . At first sight, it might seem that apart from the Mission Trail, San Antonio is short on places to enjoy the great outdoors. Take a closer look, however, and you'll see San Antonio has much more to offer.
Brackenridge Park
North of downtown near Trinity University, 343-acre (英亩) Brackenridge Park is a great place to spend a family day. Biking or walking around Brackenridge Park, along the Mission Trail and along the River Walk makes for a nice outing when the weather is mild. Check www. visitsanantonio. com for a list of suggested cycling routes.
McAllister Park
For a taste of the Hill Country, head to this 976-acre park. It has about 7 miles of paths for walking and cycling; one of the paths is also wheelchair-accessible. There is also a public workout station near the Turkey Roost Trailhead in case you want to get your sweat on and don't have membership at a local gym.
Friedrich Wilderness Park
This 600-acre park near Six Flags Fiesta Texas is just for hikers. It has 10 miles of walking paths in a Hill Country landscape that are especially worth a visit when wildflowers are blooming in spring. Close to the Balcones Escarpment, you can also see evidence here of Texas' geologic(地质的) history.
San Antonio Botanical Garden
This expertly tended, 38-acre garden complex showcases native Texas flowers. There's also a rose garden and a wonderful green house, with a bit of everything from rainforest to desert plants.

As soon as I arrive home, I take my father smartphone. Then I start to chat on QQ and listen some pop music. Although the screen is not big enough, but I look at it excitedly. My friend love QQ, too and when I can talk with them happy, they’re happy too. Usually, I go on using the smartphone until 22:00. Sometime, I’m unhappy when my father stopped me playing with the smartphone. However, I know clearly what I should not spend so much time on the smartphone. Instead, I must study hard for a bright future, as it is not easy to go to a excellent university before graduation from high school.
6 . When leaving school, I was pleased that my exam results meant that I could study engineering at university. But I also wanted to travel before starting my course. A friend of mine told me about the Schools Exploring Society, an organization which helps students take a gap year （a year between leaving school and going to college）. It has three foreign journeys a year, taking 16-20-year-olds on science and nature trips. I love being outdoors, and a mountaineering trip to Alaska was on offer. So I signed up immediately.
There was one problem, though. I had to raise a large amount of money for the trip. It was a big task, but I managed to make it. I washed cars, worked in a cafe and also sold off some of my old books, clothes and CDs. Then, just before starting out, I started worrying. Can I do this? Am I fit enough? What if I see a bear?
Seventy of us traveled to Alaska. The first two days after arrival were spent in a school hall preparing our equipment and five tons of food. Then we left for the beautiful Talkeetna Mountain. On the trip we dug paths and recognized plant species. Then we climbed a mountain that was over 6,000 feet high. It was tiring but exciting.
Looking back, a gap year was so right for me. I learned a lot about accepting other people for what they are. We had to help each other and it made me less selfish. My gap year has also made me more able to concentrate. Now, whenever Tm worried about anything, I think I did Alaska-I can do this!

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.
