A Trip to Victoria Falls
Nature is full of amazing wonders that surprise every person who loves the outdoors. Last
summer, I took a trip to Victoria Falls with my family. It is one of the most famous waterfalls in the
world, 41 on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
When we arrived, the loud sound of the water greeted us first. It was like thunder, so we called
it “The Smoke That Thunders”. The water falls down from a high 42 , creating a huge
cloud of white mist in the air. The scene is truly breathtaking.
My dad told us that the falls is about 108 meters high and 1,708 meters wide. Its amazing 43
makes it one of the largest waterfalls on Earth. We took a boat tour to get closer, and the mist wet our
clothes, but we didn’t mind. We saw many colorful birds flying above the river and some fish
swimming in the water below.
The guide said that Victoria Falls 44 millions of travellers every year. It is not only a
natural wonder but also a home to local people. They depend on the river for water and life. Theyalso told us that nature is precious, and we should 45 it instead of damaging it.
During the trip, my sister said she wanted to be an 46 when she grows up. She hopes
to 47 more natural wonders around the world, like deep forests and deep oceans. My mom
advised her to study hard and learn about geography and biology first.
We also learned that some natural wonders are facing 48 , such as pollution and over-
tourism. If we don’t protect them, they may disappear forever. That’s why we should take action to
keep nature safe.
On the way back, we talked about the trip happily. I realized that exploring nature can 49

Are you allowed to climb trees or go camping by the river? Most of the students reply with“No”. It’s not surprising at all. Although research shows how good it is for children to play outside,
they still spend more time staying indoors. In fact, outdoor play has a positive influence on children’s
development.
Over the last fifteen years, schools have started to realize the importance of outdoor time. It
leads to the development of many programs that take learning outside the classroom. One of these
programs is Forest School which has increased in popularity over recent years.
Forest School is an outdoor learning program that pays much attention to outdoor play in
wooded spaces. In the early 1990s, a group of English educators went on a trip to Denmark. They
noticed that open-air living was helpful for students. Upon their return from Denmark, they
developed their first Forest School. Today the Forest School Association (协会) has more than 1,500
members.
How does outdoor play stimulate learning? In Forest School, children are provided with
chances to explore the natural environment and experience risks and challenges. Recent research
shows that some changes happen to children. They are able to develop skills they have learned at
school in daily life. They work more closely with their classmates. They are more physically active.
And they know how to move safely in the wild.
The World Health Organization has advised that children should have more chances to play in
nature to grow up healthily. Forest School will help them fall in love with the great outdoors. It is
also helpful for them to develop skills and creative thinking. All make preparations for later life!
