乡村宁静的小屋图片 [宁静的小屋高中优秀英语作文]
a peaceful cabin
my sister and i spent last christmas day at our aunt's cabin①.
although it takes only half an hour to drive there from our home. we don't go there very often. to me the place is like another world. it is very peaceful. my aunt owns 20 acres② of woods with a little stream running through it. the cabin is surrounded by hills and the stream flows before it. the cabin is very small, maybe only half the size of a classroom, just big enough for a couple to live in. water from the stream can be used for washing only, because the people living upstream ③ often made the water too dirty to drink. drinking water has to be brought in from another place.
there is no electricity there, and therefore oil lamps are used in the evenings. there is a small wood-burning stove that looks like a fireplace. we are very comfortable in the evenings with the glow④ of the fire and the light of the oil lamps. there is no telephone or television set. no one bothers us, so we can enjoy a very quiet life. i think it is very romantic. i especially like to go there in winter. when big snow flakes ⑤ are falling outside, we are warm inside the cabin. now it's only a good memory for me, as my aunt left there a few months ago.
