Childhood Memory
I remember it like yesterday.We were all waiting patiently for my father to come home from the race track.He promised me and my sister that if he won,he would take us all to Rye Playland.
The minutes felt like hours.It was the longest hour of my life.Then finally we heard the car door shut.Me and my sister ran to the front door anxiously waiting for the news.He opened the door and walked in.We tried to read the expression on his face but of course he was looking down while taking his sneakers off.
The suspense was killing us.Then he looked up.No words were spoken between us and our father.He just gave us a blank stare.I didn't know what to think.I was scared to ask because I was so worried of the response.
It was that moment when he said to us,"Well kids,pick out what your going to wear to Rye playland this weekend." Excitement just jumped through out my whole body.We both ran over and gave him the biggest hug and ran upstairs to pick out what we had to bring and start the trip to Rye on the weekends.

　　最美好的回忆(the most beautiful memory)

my grandma lived in the country twelve years ago. at that time, i often went to visit my grandparents with my parents during the holidays. although i was very young then, now i can still remember a lot of things there clearly.

i was very glad when we went to the country. i enjoyed seeing the beautiful things in the countryside. my grandpa grew many kinds of vegetables in his garden, such as cabbages, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. every morning, he fetched water from a river, and then watered the vegetables. grandpa took good care of his vegetables as if they were his children. when autumn came, the garden was covered with greenery(绿色植物). grandpa was always happy to see that. my grandma kept many chickens. they were all very lively. i liked playing with them; sometimes i had dinner with them playing around. i always thought they loved me.

there was a small forest near my grandparents’ house. the trees were very thick. i usually played with my cousin in the woods after a meal. we could hear the birds singing in the trees and see many small animals playing in the grass. the air in the woods was fresh because of the trees. we usually played a game called “mud fighting”(打泥仗). first, we made mud balls. the more, the better; the bigger, the better. then, we threw them at each other. the person who hit the other person first was the winner. we liked the game though it made our clothes dirty.

in front of the woods, there was a small river. the water in the river was very clean and not very deep. in summer, it was quite cool. however, it became warm in winter. i could see many fishes in the river. sometimes, my grandpa caught some fishes for supper. how delicious they were! there was a bridge which was made of stone over the river. i could go across the bridge to the other side. there were also many beautiful flowers and lines of trees on the banks of the river.
