Scott’s Winter Holiday

Scott’s Winter Holiday

Winter break was coming soon, and all Scott wanted to do was to go snowboarding. Unluckily, Scott’s parents had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带邮轮). But Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend’s house to snowboard every day at the local mountain. So he kept talking with his parents about it, but they would not change their minds. Family time is important, and it is a tradition that they spend winter break together.

When Scott got on the ship with his parents, he walked around to check everything out. He couldn’t believe how great everything was. The dining room looked like a palace; the game room had all of his favorite games. Then Scott saw the surfing pool (冲浪池). It wasn’t a big pool, but it had big waves, and the people who were riding the waves made it look like a lot of fun.

Scott asked his parents if he could put his swim shorts on so that he could try surfing. They said, “ Of course.” And much to Scott’s surprise, they wanted to try surfing too.

When Scott and his parents had their swim suits on, they headed back to the surfing pool. Scott’s dad went first and only lasted about five seconds. Then it was his mom’s turn. She actually made it five seconds longer than his dad did. When it was Scott’s turn, he was excited and nervous. Then the waves started. It felt similar to snowboarding but different at the same time. On his first ride, Scott rode for almost 30 seconds. He enjoyed himself a lot.

By the time the weeklong cruise was over, Scott had new friends he planned to keep in touch with, a new hobby, and great memories. He told his parents that it was his best holiday ever.
