Yesterday my mother and I went to the East Lake about 40 kilometreseast of the city. I had a good time there.

We left home at seven o'clock in the morning, and it took us about an hour to drive there. Then we got to the lake. Oh, how large the lake was! There were many green trees and red flowers around it. We got on a small boat and rowed it. The sky was clear and the breeze touched our faces softly. I sang while rowing the boat.

After we had lunch in a small restaurant, we returned home. I really hope to go there next spring!

昨天我和妈妈去了城东40公里远的东湖。我在那里玩得很开心。

我们早晨7点钟离开家，驾车去那里用了大约一个小时。然后我们到了那个湖。啊，这湖多大啊!湖的周围是绿树红花。我们上了一只小船开始划了起来。天气晴朗，微风拂面，我一边划船一边唱歌。

在一家小饭店吃过午饭后，我们回家了。我真希望明年春天再去那里!
