My First Flight-我第一次乘飞机旅行,My First Flight-我第一次

My First Flight
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 cane 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。
