A Wonderful Day

It was a sunny Saturday morning. There were some white clouds floating in the beautiful blue sky. I went to the beach by bus with my family and my friends. When we got there, we were as hot as a toast because it was such a hot day.

After that, I walked on the sand which was soft and white. We found a place to put down what we had prepared. The place was under the shady tree, so we would not sweat a lot. The palm trees were swaying in the breeze. We were extremely excited.

Next, I built a sandcastle with my little brother, Aiden. We used our buckets, a mould and a spade to make it. I also used the watering to help us. The sandcastle was very beautiful. After a while, a wave washed our sandcastle away. We were upset. My little brother burst out crying. I tried to comfort him. My parents bought us some ice-cream. Both of us felt glad again. When I was walking at the beach with my friend Hazel, I found a pretty seashell. It was fantastic for us to find a little crab inside.

In the evening, we went home by taxi. Although I was tired and drowsy after spending the whole day at the beach, I felt glad. I hope I will go to the beach again.

Ben and his family went on a picnic at Seaside Park last Sunday. They went there by bus early in the morning. They prepared a lot of delicious food such as hamburgers, ham and cheese sandwiches and chicken wings for lunch. Ben brought soft drinks and snacks too.

After lunch, Ben and his family took some photos after lunch. Then they played hide-and-seek in the park. When Ben was looking for a place to hide, he found a maze. He went inside alone because he was curious.

Ben got lost after he went into the maze. He was scared, so he cried loudly. Luckily, Ben’s parents found him because they heard him cry. Ben would not play in the maze again because he was afraid to get lost again.

A Camping Trip

      Last Saturday morning, my friends and I went camping on Lantau Island. We all felt excited.

It took us an hour to go to Lantau Island by ferry. After we arrived there, we pitched our tents on the beach. Pitching a tent was not easy, so we felt tired. Then we had our lunch. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery while we were eating sandwiches. After lunch, we swam in the sea and played ball games. We had a good time.

In the evening, we had a barbecue. We cooked chicken wings and sausages. After that, we watched the sunset at the beach. The sea breeze was comfortable and we were relaxed. At night, we built a campfire. We sang songs and played games around it. Then we got into our sleeping bags and had a sound sleep.

We got up late the next morning. After breakfast, we packed our things and left the campsite. We all enjoyed the trip very much and we would like to come again in the coming month.

An Accident

     Last weekend, I went shopping with my mum in Mong Kok. When we were waiting for the bus, an accident happened.

My mum and I were holding a lot of things after shopping. A boy wanted to cross the road in front of us. He was playing games on his mobile phone and did not notice a car was coming. Suddenly, the car rushed to him at a high speed. The boy was knocked down by the car. Then the driver got off the car and took a look at the boy.

I was shocked because the accident happened in front of me. My mum was calm and she dialed 999 for help immediately. The ambulance came soon. The ambulancemen sent the poor boy to the hospital. I learnt that I should pay attention when I was crossing the road.

A Trip to Thailand 

      I went to Thailand last summer with my family. We went there by plane.

The weather was hot and sunny in Thailand. We visited the most famous temple in Bangkok which features a soaring 70-metre high spire decorated with tiny pieces of coloured grass and Chinese porcelain. It was amazing.

We also did some water sports. We went to a beach and played on a banana boat. The sand was fine and the water was clear. We could see a lot of fish in the sea. We took a lot of photos at the beach. My family and I enjoy the exciting activities very much.

The next day, we went to Chatuchak Market. It is a popular local market where we could buy many clothes and souvenirs. I bought some necklaces for my friends. My mother bought a lot of clothes and accessories. All of us were happy.

      I want to visit Japan next summer. I want to eat more delicious Japanese food and enjoy the hot spring in Japan.

The Flag Day

Dear Mark,

Yesterday I sold flags for Hong Kong Charity. It is an organization which helps the people in need. I sold flags next to Mong Kok MTR Station at ten thirty in the morning. There were not many people near the exit.

First, a pretty woman walked towards me. However, she did not look at me and left without buying a flag. After that, I saw a man. I asked him politely, ‘Could you buy a flag, please?’ The man refused to buy any flags and walked away quickly. I was frustrated because no one bought flags from me.

      Then I walked around to find more people to buy flags. I asked them politely and people started to approach me and buy flags. They wanted to help more people in need. All my flags were sold within an hour. I felt tired buy satisfied because I can help the charity. Therefore, I would like to sell flags in the future. Would you like to join me?

                                                Yours,——

                                                            Stephen
