Example:
Last weekend I went to Punta
del Este with some classmates and two teachers. We went there by coach and
the journey took three hours. We went there to know the place and buy some clothes: During the journey, we played games, I read an interesting book, we ate some sandwiches and some friends slept all the way. We arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning and it was hot and sunny. Punta del Este is huge and it was full of tourists. It is full of restaurants and hotels. There are many casinos. I went to my room, I had a shower and then we went to the shopping centre. We bought some clothes, we had lunch and after lunch we went to the beach and we went back to the hotel at 8 o'clock in the evening. At 9 o'clock pm we went dancing. On Sunday, we visited some shops, we bought presents and we took photos. We were walking in the street when we saw Keanu Reeves!! He's a famous film star and he was very friendly. He signed some autographs! We came back home late at night, after dinner. We were very tired!! |
