Hi, guys Do you like going to the beach? Do you ever go to the beach? Last weekend
my friend and I were very bored after one week of holiday. So we rode our bicycles to the beach. It’s only five kilometers from my house. First, we
looked for sea shells. Then we run into the water and tried to catch some fish. After that we sat down for a rest. Before we went home we bought some
fish from the fishermen. We were very tired but we felt happy. It was a wonderful experience.
