A Walk on the Seashore
Not very far from my house lies seashore in the south. We can go there on foot in about ten minutes. In summer evenings when the sun is setting, my father likes to take me with my sisters to have a walk along the seashore. Though we do not like the loneliness of the place, we are glad to enjoy the coolness of sea breeze and the beautiful scenery of the nature.
The beach is rather rough with many big and small stones on the surface. The sand is also very big in form and brown in color. At the time of low tide, we can see the reefs appearing out of the water. It is not fit for swimmers to come here to bathe, so it is quiet all over the year.
Moreover, when the tide is low, we may see some poor boys of the nearby villages. They carry bamboo baskets on their backs or under their arms. Running on the solitary beach, they are trying to pick up the small crabs among the rocks. They take them home for food or sell them for a little money.
On the sea, we can see the distant fishing boats sailing back to the harbor to anchor there at night. The setting sun looks like an immense yolk. The sky turns into orange red and the surface of the sea is glittering like a sheet of gold leaf. The waves beating at the rocks sound like music. After all, a walk on the seashore is always enjoyable.
