My First Flight
Last summer I took my first airplane flight from Yantai to Xi'an.
Five minutes after I boarded the plane and was directed to my seat by a stewardess the plane took off. Then from the public address system came the sweet voice of a stewardess to welcome us abroad. Meanwhile magazines and newspapers were distributed and coffee was offered. When I felt cold, I was given a blanket. When I felt airsick, I was given a paper bag. It was really nice.
I sat by a window and could enjoy a splendid view outside. The land was like a colored chessboard, dotted with linelike highways and railways and speck-like buildings. The white belt-like rivers were gleaming in the sunshine. Far away I could see lot of cotton-like clouds which were very beautiful. I felt quite excited.
About an hour later, we made a perfect landing. So I got to my destination fresh and uncrupled.

我第一次乘飛機旅行
去年夏天，我第一次乘坐飛機從煙台飛往西安。
我登上飛機由一名空中小姐領向坐位，五分鍾後，飛機就起飛了。緊接著從擴音系統傳出了空中小姐那甜甜的歡迎乘客的聲音，同時發給大家一些雜志報紙，並送上咖啡。我覺得發冷時，有人遞上毯子，暈機時，有人遞上紙袋。那感覺真不錯。
我坐在窗戶旁，可以盡情欣賞窗外壯觀的景色。那地面就象帶色棋盤，線一樣的高速公路和鐵路縱橫交錯，其間點綴著棋子一樣的樓房。白絲帶似的河流在陽光下波光粼粼。遠處還可以看到許多棉花一樣的雲朵，漂亮極了。我真是興奮不已。
大約1小時以後，我們安全著陸了。我就這麽精神飽滿，衣冠整齊地到達了目的地。
