My First Flight 我第一次乘飞机旅行

Last summer I took my first airplane flight from Yantai to Xi'an.

　　Five minutes after I boarded the plane and was directed to my seat by a stewardess the plane took off. Then from the public address system came the sweet voice of a stewardess to welcome us abroad. Meanwhile magazines and newspapers were distributed and coffee was offered. When I felt cold， I was given a blanket. When I felt airsick， I was given a paper bag. It was really nice.

　　I sat by a window and could enjoy a splendid view outside. The land was like a colored chessboard， dotted with linelike highways and railways and speck-like buildings. The white belt-like rivers were gleaming in the sunshine. Far away I could see lot of cotton-like clouds which were very beautiful. I felt quite excited.

　　About an hour later， we made a perfect landing. So I got to my destination fresh and uncrupled.

　　我第一次乘飞机旅行

　　去年夏天，我第一次乘坐飞机从烟台飞往西安。

　　我登上飞机由一名空中小姐领向坐位，五分钟后，飞机就起飞了。紧接着从扩音系统传出了空中小姐那甜甜的欢迎乘客的声音，同时发给大家一些杂志报纸，并送上咖啡。我觉得发冷时，有人递上毯子，晕机时，有人递上纸袋。那感觉真不错。

　　我坐在窗户旁，可以尽情欣赏窗外壮观的景色。那地面就象带色棋盘，线一样的高速公路和铁路纵横交错，其间点缀着棋子一样的楼房。白丝带似的河流在阳光下波光粼粼。远处还可以看到许多棉花一样的云朵，漂亮极了。我真是兴奋不已。

　　大约1小时以后，我们安全着陆了。我就这么精神饱满，衣冠整齐地到达了目的地。
