I had always planned to take a tour of Yosemite, and I finally fulfilled my dream last December. I cannot help but express how much I enjoyed my tour of Yosemite.
As the best-known scenic spot, Yosemite National Park is actually a natural wonder. The park is located in the middle of the Nevada mountain range and it is well-known for its huge rocks, great waterfalls and fantastic valleys.
I really need to thank my tour guide, Tony. He was very helpful and he told me a lot of interesting facts about the scenic spots we saw. As I couldn’t drive, the tour guide was also my driver. He picked me up at 8 o’clock in the morning. He was a professional and experienced tour guide, so he tried everything to make sure that I had an interesting and relaxing tour. As he was driving, he kept on telling me about the wildlife and the unique scenery in this surprising land.
Bridalveil Fall was our first stop. The best time to see it is in summer, but I didn’t go there in the hot season, so the waterfall was not as good as it could have been. I still took a photo of myself standing in front of this terrific waterfall before leaving for my next stop. When I first saw El Capitan, the largest standing sandstone structure in the world, I knew why it was called “El Capitan”. The huge structure dwarfed(使矮小) everything around it. Though I was used to seeing skyscrapers, nothing had prepared me for this.
I felt so happy and excited after I came back from Yosemite. I haven’t had this feeling for a very long time. Happiness usually comes when we do activities that accomplish something, which is a deep feeling of joy that often lasts a long time. So I decided to go out for a trip constantly to make myself happy and relaxed.

Beijing (Xinhua): When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)!It’s Curarpikt!"
At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that’s exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying (角色扮演) "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《猎人》)by Yoshihiro Togashi.
"I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15?year?old girl. "I’m moved by his sad story and I’m attracted by his courage and personality."
In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind?hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture(掳获)the people who killed his tribe(部落).
Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series(动画片)of Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt"in a cosplay show.
"I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It’s really exciting to see young people wearing the make?up and costumes of characters that you’ve read about and are familiar with."
"But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."
Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October.
"It’s a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.
But she never talks about her hobby with her parents.
"They think it will distract me from my studies. I don’t want to upset them,that’s my secret hobby," she said. "It’s also why I don’t dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others."
