Day 20 – Hiking

  • 맛집영어 영어수강 영어교재 이미지


  • My friends and I went on a weekend hiking trip recently. I was very excited because I needed a break from school. Our hike started early in the morning. The weather was nice and cool, and we were all very calm and relaxed. During the hike, I took a lot of deep breaths to enjoy the fresh air around me. It was also a good chance for my friends and I to catch up with each other and to let our hair down from the stuffy schedule of school and study. We have all been so busy with our classes that it is a nice change to not always have to be on the ball. We all had such a good time that we decided that we would go hiking at least once a month from now on.

    When I first started hiking with my friends, I was incredibly out of shape. Even just getting to the base of the mountain from my apartment would make me tired. We started our hikes with smaller mountains. It sounds funny to say smaller mountains since mountains are quite large. So, we would start with the smaller and easier trails. These trails would mostly be flat and there were not any inclines that would require any extra equipment of skill.

    As of now, we are able to do medium difficulty trails and it takes about five or six hours to complete. My stamina has improved so much, and I am hardly tired when we finish the hike. We enjoyed our hikes so much that we decided to go on a hike twice a month. Not everyone can join each time, so it made it easier for friends to meet sometimes if they couldn’t meet the hike before.

    To make a long story short; my friends and I enjoy our hikes and we are improving our skill and stamina day by day.





    Expressions
