The Snow What a big snow I have never seen! What a beautiful snow I have never When I went out for school from home， I was doomed to get a Everything seemed unlucky to I left the umbrella at home; I couldn’t unlock my bike and a big truck held up the traffic， which took me above 5 minutes to pass the At last I met Charlie and we were both late for the maths If it happened the day before， we would go to our seats without saying But today we were forced to stand outside in the cold wind because of the head teacher’s bad I didn’t want to say It was So I began to stand with C After a short while， we both felt so cold that we couldn’t speak a The world seemed very I suddenly found there was a lot of thin ice dropping from the “Ice!” I shouted to Charlie who soon became excited the same as We expected for the snow but nothing The ice turned white and turned to snow We were immersed in it without any From little to big， the snow changed out of my With the wind blowing heavily， the snow beat on my face， hair and covered all over my We couldn’t help shaking in the We opened our mouths to taste the icy snow， stood still in the snow， and enjoyed the wonderful scene I did believe the snow was not only a scene but a great wonder as It bought me much more than it It was too great and too beautiful that I couldn’t How fantastic it was! With the snow dropping on my body， I didn’t want to move though it was so If you lived in the north， you might think it was But the following thing was more A bird， a beautiful parrot， like an angel， flew from the sky onto Charlie’s shoulder and then flew to my I didn’t know how to express my feelings， only enjoying The parrot didn’t seem to How fantastic， I The snow became smaller and smaller after Maybe we lost something， but we got something， I didn’t know what it I only wished to believe it would bring me good I would never forget that 这是我见过的最大的雪！也是我享受过的最漂亮的雪！ 当我走出校园的时候，我被这景象怔住了。每件事似乎都对我很不幸运，我把伞忘在了家里。我不能骑我的车，交通很拥堵，它花了我5分钟过马路。最后我遇到了查理，我们都误了数学课。如果这发生在前一天，我们就可以不说任何话回到座位上。但是今天因为老师的坏心情而被迫站在外面的寒风里。我什么都不想说。那是无用的。所以我开始和查理一起罚站。 过了一会儿，我们都发现我们冷得不能说一句话。世界似乎很安静。我突然发现有薄冰片从空中落下。“冰！”我朝着和我一样激动的查理大叫。我们期待着雪的落下但是什么都没发生。 冰安静的慢慢变白成了雪。我们沉浸其中不说话。慢慢变大，雪大得超出了我的想像。风越刮越大，雪吹到我的脸上、头发上、覆盖了我身体的每个角落。我们在雪里不能动弹，我们张开嘴尝尝冰雪，依然站在雪里，自我陶醉在美妙的雪景里。我相信这不止是雪景，它是极为美好的。它带给了我更多。它是如此的美好以至于让我不能想象。太美好了！雪下在我身上，尽管我很冷但我不想移动。 如果你住在北方，什么也没有。但自然更真实。一只鸟，一只漂亮的鹦鹉，就像天使一样飞过天空停在查理的肩膀上，又停在我的肩膀上，我不知道如何来表达我的感受，只是陶醉其中。鹦鹉没有走的意思。这是多么美好啊！我想着。 下课后雪越来越小了。可能我们失去了什么，但我们也得到了什么。我不知道它意味着什么。我只是祝愿它能给我带来好运。我永远也不会忘记那一天。
