(題組)I like to go to the mountains in March or April. That is the best time of year to enjoy nature. In the mountains there are many beautiful sights during these months when the fresh green color comes out on the trees. Also the birds begin to sing cheerfully because of the warmer weather. Last year, I traveled with my friends to Mount Ali in Taiwan. We found a good place to stay in the late afternoon. When the sun went down, we made a fire to cook the yams that we had brought with us. It was very cold during the night, but at dawn we got up to go out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the sea of clouds floating through the air. As the sun’s rays shone through the clouds, they changed color right before our eyes. The rose color turned quickly to gold, and then the clouds disappeared in the warm sun. It was a perfect day
for a hike.
