Intensive Reading

I was very happy. It was my first journey by sea. It was very exciting. The first hour was great. But then we started to have problems. We saw a storm. It was closer and closer. The wind was stronger and stronger. The waves were bigger and bigger. The ship went up and down. I had fear. I thought about my home. I thought about my comfortable bed.

我非常高兴。这是我第一次乘船旅行。非常令人兴奋。第一个小时很棒。但后来我们开始遇到问题了。我们看到了暴风雨。它离我们越来越近。风越来越大。海浪越来越大。船上下颠簸。我很害怕。我想我的家。我想我舒适的床。

The storm was finished in the morning. The weather was nice the whole day. And the evening was beautiful. Everything was so quiet.

暴风雨在早上结束了。一整天天气都很好。夜晚景色美丽。一切都那么安静。
