2016年初中英语日常训练：A park near my home

 　There was¹ a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said² there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found³ it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I found that the two ways were different from each other.

　　The left one was wide⁴ and clean.

　　Though⁵ the flowers weren’t so beautiful, they made⁶ me feel good. I decided⁷ to take this path⁸. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It looked like it had⁹ not been cleaned for months. Grass grew everywhere. I couldn’t make up my mind¹¹ for a long time.

　　Ah¹²! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps¹³ the most beautiful garden I had ever¹⁰ seen¹⁴. Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would¹⁵ have felt different. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying¹⁶ a word. I knew they didn’t believe¹⁷ me. They couldn’t even¹⁸ remember that path because it was so small.

　　My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life¹⁹. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
