It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a/an season, while for me, it is an annoying season. Tired from preparing for Postgraduate Entrance Examination, I decided to have a along the Yanjiang Road in my university.
“Autumn is a lonely season and life is . The days in this season always get me down ”, I was in deep thought when the sound of a guitar into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. I was so surprised that I ran to see what it was. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was in playing her guitar. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.

Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. During the rest of the days in the season, life became interesting and I could __ the courses carefully.
