Para1
It was at ten o'clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three!
1. How does the Time Traveller first know he has travelled through time
He saw the clock move forwards.

Para3
It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.
2. How does the Time Traveller feel when travelling through time
It felt strange and unpleasant.

Para4
I had a strange urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn’t matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air.
3. Why is the Time Traveller worried about stopping the machine
It has the risk like machine stops unexpectedly; being forced together with something else and explode
4. Where does the Time Machine arrive when the man finally stops it
In some mud in the rain.

Writing
It was 10 p.m tonight and I gave my time machine a last check, which is shaped like a watch. I pressed the time botton of “Tang Dynasty” and chose the destination-Chang’an. A moment later, I felt dizzy and fell asleep.
When I woke up and opened my eyes, I found myself lying outside the Chang’an city gate.Then I walked into the city. It was really a lively city with splendid architecture. People around me were dressed in magnificent Tang costumes. Feeling hungry and curious, I went into a hotel. I said to the waiter like “Da Xia”in the novel :“A plate of beef and a bottle of wine!” I was waiting for the dishes when I heard a man reciting the poem:“A tranquil night”. I asked him:“A good poem! Who wrote it ” The man answered:“Me.” I couldn’t believe my ears-I came across Li Bai! Then I had a good talk with him and learned a lot about Tang poetry.
After one hour, the bell of my time machine rang. It’s time to go back to my age! I pressed the button of “return” and in a few seconds I was lying on my bed. What an amazing experience!
