Although I had walked in very deep snow almost two years before, I had never tried snowshoeing before. A snowshoe is, actually, a large plastic frame
3、(框架) which you fix to your own shoes. The snowshoe increases the surface area of your feet, therefore making you less likely to sink in the snow. At first, it felt a little strange a bit like wearing flippers(脚蹼) when you swim! I felt quite uncomfortable to start with, and it was difficult to climb
4、over the fallen trees with the snowshoes fixed to my feet. However, I like hiking and am used to walking in mountainous areas so I soon got used to it. I loved walking through the forest and seeing all the trees covered in snow! At times, walking uphill in the snow was hard, especially when there we
5、re rocks under the snow. That said, once we reached the top it was worth it! The mountain we 来源:学科网Z-X-X-Kclimbed was called “Le Tanet” and it was 1,292m high. Thats higher than Snowdon, the tallest mountain in Wales! The sky was a bit grey, but the views were fantastic. I managed to get some great
6、photos. After taking lots of photos, we started the descent. In some ways, going down the mountain was harder than going up. it was easy to slip in the snow.At the bottom, we had a hot drink in a small wood house. It was surely needed after a few hours of walking in the cold! Before we went home, I
7、had a go at sledging, which I had never tried before! It was great fun!Overall, Id really suggest snowshoeing as an alternative to the more well-known winter sports. Besides being a lot cheaper than skiing, it is easier and is considered to be a lot safer.1. The author soon got used to walking with

Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil. There are many ways in which large p
12、ieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layer of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and crack(裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock brea

These rub the larger ones, Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces. The heat of the sun also help to breaking up rocks. Whe
14、n the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.6. According
