Mysterious Cosmos

英语写作课的作业，写的不好，花了我很多的时间，留下来纪念下。

When I was a child, I liked to read an encyclopedic book named a hundred thousand why. The most interesting topic in this book I thought was about the cosmos. Every times I read them, I seemed to fly away from the Earth and went to the new and mysterious world in a far distance which is an unimaginable figure to today's astronomical technology. In a cloudless night, I would go to the building roof and raised my head to see that wonderful, grand, magnificent star field and beautiful, romantic, comely Milky Way. I would imagine that what that very far away world was like and whether or not there was life liked us. In the face of grand star field and many shiny stars I would felt that our lives and our Earth were so tiny and negligible and would be destroyed by a little accident easily. It just became a part of my life, liked eating and sleeping.

Soon, I was not content with just raise my head and use bare-eye — I wanted a telescope. I told my mother what I wanted and my mother refused it. That was in my expectation because an astronomical telescope was expensive not like a common toy. But I really wanted a telescope, I felt I was addicted to it. So I told my mother whether she could buy me a telescope if I had passed the exam which meant I would not take part in the high school entrance exam and could go to high school directly. My mother still said no because she thought that telescope would influence my study and made me backward. My mother still thought the telescope wasn't good for me, but I insisted. I told her why I wanted a telescope and told her that she should be happy because I just wanted a telescope not a game machine or smart-phone and the like which did influence my study. Eventually she gave up, and promised me if I had passed that exam she would buy me a telescope. Oh yeah, it seemed that there was a chance that I would own a telescope.

Months later, I passed that exam fortunately, thank god. Our family was happy about that because I was admitted by the best high school in our city in advance. So, my mother bought me a telescope on the Internet. Some days later, a large paper box which contained my hope and happiness was sent to my home. I was too impatient to wait to tear the paper box and found my beloved gift:though I had imagined what it was like many times, I was still astonished by its length and size — the tube was much longer than my arms, its diameter was just a little less than my palm, and its weight was much exceeded my expectation. There came another excitement when I assembled it:it was the largest gift I had ever got and it was a beautiful and imposing apparatus even just a little shorter than me!

After long and impatient wait, darkness came and stars began twinkling. I was impatient to carry my precious telescope to the building roof and assembled it quickly. Stars were glittering while my heart were beating and my hands were shaking. I was so excited that couldn't focus well. Eventually I saw those beautiful shiny stars through my telescope. Then galaxies and nebulae were all into my eyes clearly and I buried myself into the mysterious cosmos.

Nowadays when I am free and accidentally a cloudless night come, I will still go out and raise my head to see the grand and magnificent star field. I have took part in the astronomy organization in university and see, watch, observe the strange, mysterious, desirable cosmos through the telescope with my friends.
