it is said that the scene of sunrise is beautiful, but i had never seen it before. it was so hot last night that i didn’t sleep well. early this morning i got up and came to the balcony to relax. it was cool outside. i looked up at the sky, the sparse stars twinkling there. everything around me was dim. i gazed 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!
