it is was autumn, the snow was already   (begin) to fall in Tibet. Our legs were so heavy and cold   they felt   blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles? That’s what we looked like! Along the way children    (dress) in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found    was so cold that our water bottles froze.   , the lakes shone like glass    the setting sun and looked wonderful. Wang Wei rode in front of me as   She is very reliable and I knew I didn’t need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us, we were  (surprise) by the view.
