Today is a special summer day. As I headed to my friend's house for a birthday celebration, countless sweatdrops dripped down my neck like the water flowing down a window on a rainy day. The scorching temperature suffocates me and the blazing sun burns my skin, adding more intensity to the relentless heat. After some time, I notice that everyone begins to walk more franticly—a worker transporting loads of goods rushes to his destination. A strolling mom sprints into the house, like someone running away from a monster. Looking up, the dark clouds loom in the distance—streams of rain cascade from the heavy clouds, looking just like silk. I immediately realized the previous surrounding skyscrapers had blocked my view of the menacing clouds. I darted to the nearest eave with all my power. Right away, the thunderstorm hurled at me. I didn't know whether to be relieved or angry. The wind cooled me down like the ocean wind but the rain was about to soak my whole body. "Rumble!" The thunder shakes the whole city and the lightning blinds my eyes as I am taking shelter. Wallawallawalla! The heavy rain splashed from the edge of the roof like a waterfall. Behind, I heard rapid footsteps from inside the house. Unexpectedly, a little boy opened the door and handed me an umbrella. "Here's an umbrella to protect from getting wet," he said. "Oh, thank you so much, bro. You are so kind. I'm going to a party now and you came at the right time to help me," I replied filled with gratitude. "No problem, I'm glad that I helped you!" A few minutes passed by and the heavy rainclouds floated away at last. "If I see him without an umbrella in the future, I'll give him one as well," I thought.

"I want to stay here forever," I said. Rimcrest is the best viewpoint for a perfect sunset, especially in the winter. After endless days of rain, the clouds finally separate and the sun reveals magnificence in front of my eyes. As the tiny sun slowly sank, I took pictures of the scenery I would never forget. Along the horizon, bright clouds floated in the breathtaking atmosphere. Above, the shiny clouds dotted the sky, adding to the beauty of this world.

We must protect our planet. People should appreciate the precious gift that Mother Nature gives us. Why would we destroy it?

Today, it is one of the coldest afternoons I have ever experienced to the point my nose feels like they are frozen. The heavy raindrops pounce on my umbrella and freezing wind blows chill into my body even with 3 layers of jackets. As I'm walking back from work in the pouring rain and bitter wind, a bright red sign catches my attention. Not the red light or stop light. Behind the window of a cafe, a sign says "OPEN" with bright red letters. Right under, it boldly reassured, "Enjoy a cozy moment while drinking delicious cafe." Looking through the window, a person sips their coffee while reading a newspaper. I couldn't fight the urge to rush in, once I open the door, the warm air of the cafe rushes onto my face. I feel like I'm in a completely different world, where the warm atmosphere and the rich scent of coffee welcomed me.

Today, it is the coldest afternoon I have ever experienced. The rain pounces on my umbrella and the wind blows through my five layers of clothes, into my body. As I walk along the street of the town in the pouring rain and bitter wind, a bright red sign catches my eye. It isn't the red light or a stop sign. It is the cafe, which says "OPEN." Right under, it reassured, "Enjoy a cozy moment while drinking delicious cafe." Even though my house was only about ten minutes away, I need to take a break from this grueling weather. I can't fight the urge to rush in. Once I open the door, the warm air of the cafe rushes onto my face. I feel like I'm in a completely different world, where the warm atmosphere and the rich scent of coffee welcomed me.
