When answering the question "What’s your most memorable trip?" does "gain height", "on the one side" and other parts sound idiomatic? Should it be "that day" or "on that day?"
There were two completely opposite feelings. I had never been on a plane before. On the one side, there was a huge fear of a plane crash, but at the same time great rapture that I saw. It was indescribably beautiful from such a height. Sometimes they look like the sea, where instead of water there is cotton wool. Sometimes their form is a perfectly straight streak and it seems that you are flying over a wide white river. We were flying out from my hometown and on that day the weather was cloudy and gloomy, but when we rose up above the clouds they stopped to seem gloomy. Clouds looked like a white sea above which the sun shone. When failures happen in my life, I often remember that day, and no matter how gloomy it is,
the sun is always shining somewhere above and you just need to try to gain height.
"Gain height" is used in both figurative and usual meaning.
