Sun Moon Lake (日月潭)





This past Chinese New Year's holiday, I went to Sun Moon Lake (日月潭) with my parents and girlfriend. I really like the lake because it is peaceful and beautiful. When we arrived there in the afternoon, it was cold and foggy. We couldn't see the lake because the fog was so thick. We went from our hotel to the "town" and had lunch. There weren't many people there so we enjoyed our time together in relative quiet.
If you have ever been to Sun Moon Lake, you will know that it is a special place. On a clear day, you can see across the lake to the other side. At night, you can see the lights, feel the fresh breeze blowing over the calm water, and smell the freshness of the mountain air. If you are venturesome, you can take a boat across the lake to the other shore or just paddle around. There is also a path that circles the lake. The total circumference is fairly large though.
One thing I don't really like about the lake is the lack of good restaurants. All the restaurants are family run and not very good. If worse comes to worst, you can go to 7-11 and get some familiar food from there.
Despite this, it is still a great place to visit for a weekend. I highly recommend a trip to Sun Moon Lake.

really delicous.I hope Ican go

Hello teacher Rolin:
I am Wendy.After reading the article,I think Sun Moon Lake is
really interesting.I went there before,it was a sunny day.So we could see the lake easily.That is
more beautiful than any oher lakes,
I think.
I went to GRUM when I was an elementary school student.The sea
there is calm and clean.I can see
many different kinds of
fish,grass,or seastar.If I can I
will go there again.

Wow~your girlfriend is very pretty.
Sun Moon Lake is also my favorite place.I went there many times.The lake is the most beautiful I ever saw.I evny you guys can go there feel relax during Chinese New Year.I had to prepare my test and can't go anywhere.When I saw the view I can foret any stress I had and enjoy the scenery bymyself.But one thing I hate is the lake is become dirty maybe we should protect it and kept it clean.

Dear Roion,
The Sun Moon Lake is so beautiful.In fact,I had been there once.I really got shocked when I saw the wonderful view.The lake,the mountains,and the blue sky formed the niciest pitures.The air there is very flesh.And the one more thing I think is wonderful is the sun rise there.
I really hope I can go there again because the Sun Moon Lake is so beautiful that no thihg can beats it.Maybe someday the whole class can go there together.
your student,
David Chang

Hello teacher Ronin,
Your sun Moon Lake travel seems very nice. Sun Moon Lake is a name that I known since three years old. Its story, its view and lots lots of it are full of my childhood, but I never visit it. Everyone have been to Sun Moon Lake says great. Every picture that from Sun Moon Lake is so beautiful. After I read your article, the though that I want to visite it is getting stronger and stronger. Maybe I will go to Sun Moon Lake tomorrow and bring some pictures and journal back.

I think PE class is the most useful class for me in this year.
Because I know how to play many sports,like basketball,soccar,swimming and badminton.PE class always makes me relax,I can do anything I want in this class.I can't play those sports before,but now I can play them.Although I can't play them very well.

The other class is science class.I can do many experimentals after I learn this subject.And I know many knowlege,too.I don't know them before,but now I know them!PE and science class are useful for me
