On a rainy day in late August my family and I set out on a new trip. We traveled by car to Girdwood along the Turnagain Arm and were lucky enough to see Beluga whales on the way.
We parked at the Hotel Alyeska. We then traveled by van(小型货车) to the Portage station where we got on the train that would take us to the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop. It was a 20~25-minute train ride to Spencer Glacier where we got off the train and took a van to the lake.
We went across the lake in the kayaks. It is about 1.5 miles across the lake to the face of the glacier(冰川) . It was an experience to boat among the icebergs and to see the face of the glacier get closer and closer?
We were excited to begin our hike on the glacier. It was such a thrill walking on the glacier. It rained most of the day but it was still such a beautiful trip in a lifetime experience. After about two hours on the glacier we headed back to the kayaks. The guide took some pictures before we started back across the lake.
We were tired as it was an active day but we were also excited about the amazing trip we had at Spencer Glacier! Rain or shine, it is a journey I would love to do every year!

When you wake up every day，once again to see this beautiful world，when your parents，teachers and friends give you help，will you know how to be grateful？And when you feel unlucky and make mistakes，will you still be thankful?
Yu Dan，a professor at the Beijing Normal University，made a report about Gratitude Education(感恩教育)．It will affect Chinese people，especially the teenagers.
Nowadays，some teenagers only care about things outside.They often behave badly.For example，they fight with each other，use phones in class，be rude to their parents and teachers and so on.Most of them don't know love，respect and gratefulness.
Being grateful or thankful is very important.(A)It_is_impossible_for_anyone_to_be_lucky_and_successful_all_the_time_as_long_as_he_lives_in_the_world.We should learn how to face failure or bad luck bravely and try to deal with it.As we know，“Life is a mirror.When you smile in front of it，it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it.” If you are grateful to life，it will bring you shining sunlight.If you always complain about everything，you may own nothing in the end.
I think the teenagers should be grateful to life even when we are unsuccessful or unlucky.We have many reasons for being grateful.For example，being grateful is a way to communicate with adults.And it is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.
If each of us has an attitude of being grateful，we'll lead a better and more beautiful life.So remember，being grateful forever.
