An Unforgettable Trip

Describe an unforgettable trip, be it wonderful of awful. Tell the interviewer as much as you can about:
When and with whom you've had it
Your travel experience
What you've learnt from it.

这是一个描述性的纪实题目，无论是wonderful还是awful，具体个人色彩的原汁原味的表达才是能体现出unforgettable。特别注意见闻中的细节往往能体现出你的个性和与众不同。

Candidate 1：I remember that was 2006 when I had my first visit to Suzhou on my own. Suzhou, a famous cultural city with a history of more than 2,500 years, features over 200 ancient gardens. The small private gardens are especially renowned nationwide and reflect architectural styles of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In two days, I hurried through six scenic spots. The river in spring was gracefully pleasant with its unpleasant with its unparalleled beauty. The pavillions threw their shadows in the water. What's more impressive were the blooming peach flowers vying(与……竞争，争夺) with each other in showing their beauty. When I walked for half an hour in the sun and suddenly saw a stretch of bamboos I could not help crying out, "I'll go and sit there." After another hour's work, a murmuring stream came into my view. The water was so clear that I could see through it to the bottom. The pebbles(鹅卵石) under the water were visible and even countable. I put my aching feet into the stream. Oh, the water was running across my feet. It was cool but not cold. I could not but admit that it was a most pleasant and comfortable moment.

Life is just like a journey. What is more, you have to hurry on the way, braving the scorching sun and burdened with luggage, while crossing over the mountains and slops. Then you feel rewarded by a short rest. If only I could walk less and rest more!

俗语有云上有天堂，下有苏杭。Candidate 1描述了自己的短暂苏州之行，把雅典的苏州园林，别致的水榭亭台描绘得生动细腻。崭新的旅途，新奇的发现，美丽的心情，别样的体会。结尾人生与旅途想比较，人生如旅行，旅行是人生。人在旅途，就这样一路行走，一路感受，一路成长。

Candidate 2：It was the holiday of the National Day in 2004 when Dad drove Mum and I to Mount Pan in Tianjin. As it was the first holiday since I entered the high school where I lived apart from my parents for a whole month, it was expected to be exciting and wonderful, and indeed, it was. Through I've traveled many places with my parents since I was a little girl, that trip was the warmest, most wonderful and relaxing one because we felt free to talk about anything we like. We climbed the mountain the next morning, and actually it was not so beautiful as we would expect of one with trees, flowers, a great peak or other amazing things, but it become the greatest trip for all of us. At that time, I shared with them my feelings and thoughts of new life in the high school, and they treated me as an adult. That trip was more than a holiday, for it was a time when I felt being deeply loved; it was a time when I felt I was living in a great family full of love, warmth and happiness. All of us cherish that fantasitc trip in our hearts.

或许这是一个女孩走向独立生活的第一次旅行，言语间流露出Candidate 2对这次旅行深刻而又美好的回忆。高中之前，被认为是孩子，而进入高中之后家长给予其更多的独立生活空间和平等表达的机会，这一切都使Candidate 2感受到了成长的喜悦，正是这种喜悦给Candidate 2最深刻的印象，最后通过对爱的理解烘托了主题的表达。
