Going to high school is my first time to leave home. I have to live in school from Monday to Friday. I like to stay away from my parents for some time, because I can make my own choice and be free to go anywhere. My friends and I like to spend the weekend in the countryside that near the city we live. It is the short travel that I can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also learn to be independent. The things that nature teaches me are a lot. I can see from the color of the cloud to predict the weather and the sound of of animals have different meanings. All of these are hard to know from the books. I have my own thinking from these trips, and the way to take care of myself helps me to grow up.
上高中是我第一次离家。星期一到星期五我必须住在学校。我喜欢远离父母一段时间，因为我可以做出自己的选择，可以自由地去任何地方。我和我的朋友喜欢在我们住的城市附近的乡下度周末。这是一次短暂的旅行，我不仅可以欣赏美丽的风景，还可以学会独立。大自然教给我的东西很多。从云的颜色我可以看出预测天气和动物的声音有不同的含义。从书本上很难知道这些。从这些旅行中我有自己的想法，照顾自己的方式帮助我成长。
