Passage 1
from Away in the Wilderness
by R. M. Ballantyne
On a beautiful summer evening, not many years ago, a man was seen to ascend the side of a little mound or hillock, on the top of which he lingered to gaze upon the wild scenery that lay stretched out before him.
The man wore the leathern coat and leggings of a North American hunter, or trapper, or backwoodsman; and well he did deserve all these titles, for Jasper Derry was known to his friends as the best hunter, the most successful trapper, and the boldest man in the backwoods.
Jasper was big and strong as well as bold, but he was not a bully. Men of true courage are in general peacefully disposed. Jasper could fight like a lion when there was occasion to do so; but he was gentle and grave, and quiet by nature. He was also extremely good-humored; had a low soft voice, and, both in mind and body, seemed to delight in a state of repose.
Passage 2
My favorite pastime is camping with the family. I like to sleep in a tent and roast marshmallows by the campfire. Going out into the woods early in the morning when it is quiet and still is my favorite time to be out in nature. When I go camping, I leave all of my video games at home. I would rather spend time exploring or go on a hike.
Spending time outdoors discovering nature is something that everyone should do. The great outdoors has so many amazing things to discover, such as different animal species.
