RECOUNT TEXT

       Last week, my friend and I rode our bikes to the beach. It was only five kilometers 

from our houses.

      It was  quite windy and there was hardly anyone there. It surprised us because 

there were always many people coming there on the weekends. So, we had the beach 

on our own. We bought some hot chips, rode our bikes, played in the water and  sat 

under the trees. We really had a great time.

One day, I had to teach a new English class. I read the list of

new students’ names. It was kiddies’ group since they were about

9 and 10 years old.

That was the first day of The Spanish carnival, so I wanted to

wear the most appropriate suit for the children’s class. Most kids usually

dress up at carnival I thought. It would be more interesting if their teacher

was also in carnival spirit. That was why I decided to wear my teddy bear

suit and bring cuddly toys in my box

And that was what I did. I walked through the door happily. The director

watched me completely astonished. I smiled and looked straight at her.

With a man beside her, she said, “ Good afternoon. I’d like to introduce you

to Mr. Mendez, the director of Delta company. He is one of the participants

of English course that you will teach today.”

Oh my God! I nearly died! The secretary apologized to me for wrong

On Thursday 24 April we went to the Botanical Gardens. We walked

down and boarded the bus.

After we arrived at the garden, we walked down to the Education Centre.

The third grade students went to have a look around. First, we went to

the first farm and Mrs. James read us some information. Then, we looked

at all the lovely plants. After that we went down to a little spot in the

 Botanical Garden and had a morning tea break.

Next, we did sketching and then we met the fourth grade students at

the Education Centre to have lunch. Soon after that, it was time for us

to go and make our terrariums while the fourth year students went to have walk.

A lady took us into special room and introduced herself, then she explained

After we had finished, we met the fourth grade students outside the gardens.
