C
Michael went back to Fullerton, his hometown. His visit to Fullerton was very
special to him. He was born and grew up there, but it was a long time before he went
back.
He went to the places he hadn't been to in years. He walked through the park and
remembered the days when he walked through that same park with his friends. He passed
by the field where he and his friends played baseball every day after school. And he
stood in front of the movie theatre and thought about all the Saturday afternoons he spent
there, watching his favourite movie Heroes and eating popcorn.
He did things he hadn't done in a long time. He had some home-made ice cream at
the ice cream shop. He rode on the merry-go-round(旋转木马) in the park, and he
went fishing at the lake. For a little while, he felt like a kid again.
He saw people he hadn't seen in years. He visited several of his old neighbours. He
said hello to the owners of the candy shop near his house. And he also went to see Mrs
Riley, his tenth-grade Science teacher.
Michael's trip back to Fullerton was a very nostalgic experience for him. Going back
to Fullerton brought back many memories of days gone by.
