Daniel: Wow, the view from the peak is so grand!

Dad: Look, most of the maple leaves have turned red.

Daniel: Did you ever see this kind of beautiful scene?

Dad: Of course, my father used to take me to Xiang Shan or somewhere like that as a child.

Daniel: But my father did not. He didn't have much time.

Dad: Honey, I'm sorry. I promise you, this summer vacation, I will take you to Huang-Shan Mountains. It is more beautiful and magnificent.

Daniel: Really? It's a deal. Have you ever been there?

Dad: Yes, I went there five years ago. You were still a baby at that time.

Daniel: It really gets me interested. Is it higher than Xiang Shan?

Dad: Surely. You can enjoy the beauty of numerous streams and waterfalls. The sea of clouds has a fairy tale beauty.

Daniel: Can I see the rainbow?

Dad: That depends. If you are lucky, you can see a vivid rainbow across over two peaks.

丹尼尔：哇，从山顶往下看，景色真壮观！

爸爸：看，大部分枫叶都变红了。

丹尼尔：你曾经看到过这么美的景色吗？

爸爸：当然，在我小的时候，我爸爸常带我去香山或者其他什么地方。

丹尼尔：但是我得爸爸却不带我玩。他总是没有时间。

爸爸：宝贝，真对不起。我向你保证，今年暑假，我一定带你去爬黄山。黄山更漂亮，也更壮观。

丹尼尔：真的吗？一言为定。你曾经去过吗？

爸爸：是啊，我五年前去过那里。那个时候你还只是个小孩呢。

丹尼尔：我对这个很感兴趣。它比香山高吗？

爸爸：当然了。你可以欣赏数不胜数的溪流和瀑布。云海像童话一样美丽。

丹尼尔：我能看到彩虹吗？

爸爸：那不一定。如果你幸运的话，你可以看到跨越两座山峰的鲜艳的彩虹。

经典背诵 Recitation
Daniel: The view on the peak is really great. In different seasons you can see a lot of different sceneries, all of which are really amazing. So each time I go mountain climbing I would feel really happy. I think Nature is human beings' best friend.
