built sand castles. Some of them played with their balls. We also saw some people

CAMPING
On Saturday night, my friends and I camped on a hill nearby. We choose a
flat land to set up a tent. It was on the bank of a lake. We found that the lake was
not too deep, but the water was clear and fresh. We saw many fish on it, so we
fished there.
After sitting up the tent, we took our picnic jar and had a meal together.
We rolled out mat to sit on the ground. It was a nice having meals in the open air.
Then we walked into a swift waterfall. We could see how wonderful it
was. Unfortunately, we left our camera at home. We couldn’t take any
photograph.
Suddenly, my friends slipped off. He hurt his leg. We gave him a band aid
that we took from the first aid kit. Finally we decided to go back to our tent.
Next morning we went home. It was tiring but we were happy.

queue.

swing. We walked to the swimming pool and swam there.
Finally, we had a rest under a big tree. It is on the edge of a river. We had

Let me remind you my experience during an earthquake last week.
When the earthquake happened, I was on my car. I was driving home from my
vocation to Bali. Suddenly my car lunched to one side, to the left. I thought I got flat
tire. I did not know that it was an earthquake. I knew it was an earthquake when I saw
some telephone and electricity poles falling down to the ground, like matchsticks.
Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the rock.
Even I could not move my car at all. There were rocks everywhere. There was nothing I
could do but left the car and walked along way to my house, in the town.
