recount example

On Saturday morning, my sister and I decided to take a train to the
city because it was a beautiful sunny day.

Firstly, we packed a small bag with some delicious snacks and walked
to the train station.

Next, we arrived in the city and walked around. We saw some
beautiful sights and took lots of photos!

Lastly, we walked back to the train station and headed home. It was a
great day!

Happy Writing!
