Pronunciation

eagle-ˈiː.ɡəl/

Last week I went to Xingjiang for a hiking trip/camping.  We had to cross the Tian mountain and there were many wild animals, you can see eagles flying in the sky and marmots digging holes. There are many sheeps and cows and the dogs are running/wondering around them. In the night we sleep in the tent, you can’t sleep well because  sometimes it was raining and some shepherd dogs were sniffing around you and growling. During the trip we had to cross many rivers, the river is shallow but it is rush, sometimes I can’t stand steadily and my team members would help me. Even though this trip is tired but I think it’s worth the effort.
