Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up，my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house．Walking together，my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned．lessons from his experiences．He always told me，“You should have goals like climbing the mountain．” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed，we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy．I really got a lot from mountain-climbing．It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience（耐力）．
