Sunrise

導讀：日出之美，不僅在于它的絢麗多彩，更在于它讓人奮發向上，充滿希望。

It is said that the scene of sunrise is beautiful， but I had never seen it before. It was so hot one night that I didnt sleep well. Early next morning I got up and came to the balcony to relax. It was cool outside. I looked up at the sky with some stars twinkling there. Everything around me was dim. I stared at the east， where the sky was lightening. After a while， the stars disappeared and the buildings， trees， streets in the distance could be seen faintly. Slowly， the horizon in the east was becoming reddish. The red color extended continuously and was becoming thicker and thicker. At last the sun showed its face a little， gradually into a half flaming ball， and whole ball appeared， shining brightly. Everything around me was clear. What a beautiful sunrise I saw！ I really feel that it is a symbol of hope and new beginning in our life.
