Nature
Nature is really important to human. When people get in touch with the nature, it helps relaxing. I live in a crowded city in Taiwan, which is Taipei. Living in the city, we do not have a lot of real parks in Taipei. Parks in Taipei are really small. Although we do not have that many parks, Taiwan shows a good nature side of the world. When Taiwan was first founded, it called the Formosa, which meant a beautiful island. I remember when I was a child; my family would take car trips to some popular nature attractions.
I remember when I was a child; I loved to catch little fishes from the beach. My family would take the weekends and went to some beaches. In the morning, my parents would prepare for the trip, my father took care of the drinks and my mother took care of the snacks and fruits. During the trip, we would listen to music and share our interesting stories. When we got to the beach, I was always the first one ready. I did not catch fishes with fishing poles but catching nets. I would just stay on a big rock and started to catch fishes. There was one time that I caught a jellyfish and a crab and after a few days I caught them, I saw that the crab was inside the jellyfish.
There were some other weekends; my family would go to the mountain to enjoy the famous hot spring in the area. I personally did not like going to hot springs but I loved to have massage in the spa. They were cool experience because we got to have the hot springs and spa outdoor, so we could enjoy the nature. After the hot springs and spa, we sometimes went for orange, apple, or strawberry picking. We had a lot of good times on the mountain.
On long vacations, my family would take some time to go to the countryside to visit my grandparents. I always loved to visit my grandparents because the air there was not polluted like the city. Another reason I liked to visit my grandparents was because they had fish farm, so once again I could fish in their fish farm. I also loved the food that could only be found around my grandparents’ house. When I was in the countryside, I was carefree; I did not have to worry about the people around me like how it was in the city. I could do whatever I wanted.
Nature has been really important to my family and me. Although I live in the city, we would still take the weekends to go out of the city and to the nature. I believe that nature can help me relax more and teaches me a lot of things. Nature is what made out of the world we are in right now so we should take good care of the nature.
