Photo took in Manchester
Firstly, August is the beginning of summer in Britain.I love summer,the sun shine,ice-cream and so on.But British summer gave me special feeling .Everything here was so perfect,warm weather,fantastic view,especially the cloud.Whenever I looked at the sky,I could see different cloud hanging.The other thing touched my heart is the field.The wind blew just like gold sea.Not only field,but also my heart got waves because of wind which reminded me of my childhood.Besides,I also saw my future.Hopes will hide in the field,if I work as hard as the wind,I believe my honors will like the waves .Again and again.
Secondly, on this trip I got a very special people with me .She is my best friend .When I was in grade 7,she came to the US with me .We have become good friend since then.But after all,it was our first time to meet each other,so we are just good friend.However,this time we became the best friend.During the travel,we are always together.We took photos,chatted,ate something and so on .We had so perfect time.I knew maybe there won’t be next time we travel together ,for this reason,.every single second is so valuable for me .And these sweet memories will live in my mind forever.
There are lots of good colleges in UK without doubt.For example,Oxford and Cambridge university are two nice schools around Britain even the world.However,there still be a lot of differences between American top school and British.As soon as I walked into Harvard University,I could feel the fragrance of knowledge from everywhere.However,when I was in Oxford,I told myself”Jesus,how beautiful!This is the Oxford,unbelievable!” Traditional gothic buildings do make me shocked.Every building was different even though they belong to the same style.So magic feeling!What’s more,when I touched the wall,all the history of UK are sparking!Everything seemed alive,stories about Great Britain were in front of my face,amazing and colorful.I have learned a lot by walking in the universities.
Besides,the experience in my host family was another smooth piece of my trip song.The owner is a Scottish.She could make so delicious foods for us.Probably many people think fish&chips are traditional British food.However,in fact fish&chips are just one kind of traditional British foods,cheese and tomatoes are another ones.After meal,she made traditional dessert called”stewed apples”.It was my first time meet this food.A little bit sour,a little bit sweet and ice make me feel so good!Thanks to her ,my trip had more excellent things.In my opinion,she is a symbol of London even the whole Britain.
Except these,visiting place of interests gave me sweet memories as well.Big Ben,London Eye, the British museum,etc,all of them are symbols of Britain.Whenever you see them,you can feel the strength,the history and the development of Britain.Although the Britain is not the strongest country in the world now ,but you can still feel the honors.
In a nutshell,traveling can not only open my eyes to the world but also give me more strength to fight on.The people I love are with me this time,the view I love is outside window.I get the feeling of satisfaction these days.But I also know challenges will come soon.I will take the spirit of Britain and fight for people I love,fight for things I want.
