Dear Linda,
How’s it going? I’d like to telling you about my trip to the beach with my family last weekend.
We set off at six in the morning, hoped to enjoy the sunrise. When we arrive, there were already many people there. The beautiful sunrise impressed us very much. After that, we joined in those who were picking up shells. The most excited thing was swimming in the sea. We enjoyed the waves, that always carried us back to the beach. After having some delicious seafood, we bought souvenir for our friends. However, we took many beautiful pictures. It was five o’clock in the afternoon that we started to return by boat. It was such wonderful day that we had great fun.
How was your weekend? Please write to tell me.
Yours,
Li Hua
