Recount Text

On my last holiday, I went to Paris. I went to cool museums and sat in nice gardens. A friendly waiter taught me some French words and even lent me a book. I tried reading a bit, but I didn't understand anything. Every day, I thought about sending postcards, but I forgot. On the last day, I woke up early and bought thirty-seven postcards. I stayed in my room all day, but I didn't write any cards!

On Saturday night, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year, and a lot of people were there under the big clock. The clock was supposed to ring twelve at midnight. We waited for fifteen minutes, but then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big hand on the clock didn't move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's two minutes past twelve! The clock stopped!"

I checked my watch, and it was true. The big clock didn't welcome the New Year. At that moment, everyone started laughing and singing.

Last weekend, my family and I went to the beach. We built sandcastles and collected seashells. Even though it was raining when we were on our way, the sun was shining when we arrived, and the water was warm. I played in the waves with my little sister.
