Last week, l went to the lake for fishing. It was the suitable time for fishing because I had nothing to do. I went there with my friends.

Arriving at the lake, I directly went to the best spot to get a giant fish. It was under the big tree at the bank of the lake. I threw my hook as far as I could then I waited for the fish eating my bait. It had been 15 minutes and I finally saw the sign that there was a fish eating my bait. I tried to pull it up and I succeeded. I got a three kilogram fish.

I got so many fish that day even though I was so tired. I was so excited. I think I will visit the spot again in the next holiday.

Last weekend, my friends and I went camping. We built the camp next to a small river.

It was getting darker and colder, so we built a fire camp. The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing meals. In the afternoon we went to the river and caught some fish for supper.

At night, we held a fire camp night. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of us performed a standing comedy.

On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home. It was wonderful experience in my life.

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.

Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, “It’s two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!
