i love travelling. when i was young, my parents always took me to other places to visit, such as beijing, zhuhai and guilin. but as i grow up, there’s such a heavy study-pressure that i can hardly afford time and energy to travel. fortunately, i can “travel” to a lot of far-away attractions in the fantastic world of books and tv. recently i have learnt about rio de janeiro from books. i feel excited and want very much to travel there.

　　rio de janeiro lies along the coast of atlantic ocean. it’s brazil’s second largest city. firstly, i love the climate in rio de janeiro. sea climate is comfortable and it never gets too dry or too wet. secondly, i love the beautiful beaches. i always form a picture in my mind of being at the seaside. i imagine myself walking on the beach. the sunshine is mild in the late afternoon and i feel the soft wind moving across my face. i can see the sun moving slowly below the sea level, just like a hot, red ball falling into the water. some seagulls are flying above the sea and others rest themselves on ship-boards. i take off my shoes. soft sand flows through my toes.

　　little waves sometimes run towards me and wet my trousers, just like naughty children. i enjoy this feast for both my body and spirit. now i know that the beauty of nature is the greatest beauty in the world.
