MY WINTER STORY
When my dad whispered, "wake up" in my ears, I woke up in a hurry. Why? Because our family was going on a family ski trip to the Gangwon province. So we ate our breakfast quickly and then got into our car. And off we went! We were on our way to a ski resort. As soon as I arrived in Daeguallyung in Gangwon province, I went to the Yongpyong ski resort. When I first saw the ski slopes they were all white because there was a lot of snow. I've never seen this much snow in one year! Excited, I went up the ski slope and came down. The feeling was so great! So I did it again and again. It was fun! While I was going down, I could feel the wind brushing against my face. It was cold, but it seemed that going down so fast on the white snow made me forget all the cold. Then, after a while, I tried a slope that was much steeper. I thought that if I kept challenging myself, then one day, I would be able to ski on the most difficult and dangerous slope!
I have been skiing ever since I was in second grade, and I have always thought that skiing was a fun and exciting sport. There are not many outdoor sports to play since it's too cold in the winter, but skiing is a good sport. So, if you have a chance, then I think skiing can make you feel refreshed and you can spend the cold winter active in the outdoors. I hope that this year, I will go to the ski resort again! I cannot wait!
