My journey began on November 1st 1997. On the first day, there was icy wind and bright sunshine 24 hours a day. But on the third day, I lad to struggle with the stormy weather and the growing stronger wind. So I could travel only for two hours a day and I had to put my tent up before the wind became strong. Luckily, my tent and I weren't blown away by the howling storm . The storm came on November 12th, which was my birthday. That day. I put the candle on the cake that was thawed over the fire. A few days later. I had fallen into a very deep hole and was hanging on the rope, and then I decided to increase my workday to 12 hours on the 22nd day of the expedition. The next morning, I hurt my leg in a bad accident with the sled. With my hands and knees I put my tent up. I had to make a decision whether I should wait to get better or give up. At that time, because of my family. I made a right choice. I will never regret. It's an experience I shall never forget and shall value for the rest of my life. 　　Part 3 　　Dick and Becky have a farm, a shop and a tea-shop in the west of England. They live on the farm. The shop is in a small town, eight kilometers away. The tea-shop is next to the shop. On the farm, they have four cows, six pigs, ducks and chickens .They grow their own fruit and vegetables, too. Their two children work on the farm when they are not at school. 　　The vegetables are taken to the shop. If they are not sold, they are used the next day in the tea-shop. Not all the food in the tea-shop is sold or eaten. So this taken to the farm and given to the chickens or the pigs. The chickens are not in cages ; they run all over the farm. The muck from the pips is put on the garden to make the vegetables grow better. The eggs from the chickens are sold in the shop. Milk from the cows is also sold in the shop. Dick and Becky also sell cakes in the shop. “But we don't make them ourselves. ”Becky says, “we don't have enough time. ”
