1. 01A Day at an Onsen

   Hello, everyone. Last winter, I visited an onsen for the first time. An onsen is a Japanese hot spring. Today, I want to tell you about my day.

   大家好。去年冬天，我第一次去了温泉。温泉在日语里叫“onsen”，是日本的天然温泉。今天，我想跟大家讲讲那一天的经历。

2. 02The Rules

   Before I went in, I learned the rules. First, you take off all your clothes. Next, you wash your body. You also keep your towel out of the water.

   进去之前，我先了解了规矩。首先，要把衣服全部脱掉。接着，要先把身体洗干净。另外，毛巾不能放进水里。

3. 03The Hot Water

   The water was very hot, about forty-two degrees. From the outdoor bath, I could see snowy mountains. It was so beautiful.

   水非常烫，大约四十二度。从露天浴池可以看到被白雪覆盖的群山。真是太美了。

4. 04After the Bath

   After the bath, I drank a bottle of cold milk. Many people do this in Japan! Then I took a short nap. I felt very relaxed.

   泡完澡之后，我喝了一瓶冰牛奶。在日本很多人都会这样做！然后我小睡了一会儿，感觉非常放松。

5. 05Try It!

   If you visit Japan, please try an onsen. Don't be shy about the rules. Just relax and enjoy! Thank you.

   如果你来日本，请一定试试泡温泉。不用因为规矩而感到不好意思。好好放松、尽情享受吧！谢谢。
