Fly away Home
Lost!
Still dizzy, head throbbing, I put down my red ball-point pen with a sigh after
finishing correcting the last sheet of composition. It was not easy to
calibrate your sense of English to the right track after having examined papers
full of grammar mistakes, which also caused your stomach to ache, for
almost four hours. Mind still meandering, I thought a walk would be
a good choice for a rest of my mind. Browsing, navigating, wandering in
the convoluted passageway of the English section at the seventh floor of Wenzao
Library is relaxing. One after another, I scanned every title
randomly. While my thought was still floating in the air, I came to the
bookshelf filled with paperbacks published by Pearson Education and my
attention landed on a book, Fly Away Home.
As soon as I opened
the first page of the book, I stared at it with my mouth agape. It struck
me that it is this book (although not the same one), which gifted me the
epiphany to make sense of the English words, for I used the same method to
write down every word I had looked up. In addition, it was not only the
first and only English book I had when I was a beginner to learn English but
also took me to a brave new world. Immediately I took this shot.
Following is
my childhood memory. I was at the airport. Sitting next to me was a
teenager who was reading an English novel. Upon this sight, I made a wish
that one day I could be a person who understand the contents of English books,
as well as a person who can travel around the world by speaking English
fluently.
Closing the book, I
felt my mind was clear again. Suddenly, hunger attacked me and I noticed
it is almost five o'clock, about dinner time.
Putting the book back to the shelf, I went back to pack. Seeing through
the transparent-grayish glass, I hoisted my bag to head back. Smelling
the old-yellow-wrinkled-book scent emanated from every masterpiece here, I
thought the reason and purpose for my Fly away Home. Again, I am back.
Wish your dream will come true someday!!
