The weather was very clear at that time. My family and I decided to go camping last holiday. My father prepared the tent and other equipment. My mother prepared the cooking and eating utensils. I took my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport equipment. When everything was ready, we left for the camping site in countryside.

There were many campers when we arrived at the camping site. Unfortunately, the good location near the river had been occupied by ither campers so we had to look for another place.

Finally, we found a good place near a big tree. After setting up the tent, my father and I went fishing. We joined other people sitting on the rock near the river.

In the evening, my father and I made a fire. Then, my mother cooked the fish that we have caught. I could say that it was the best fish I had ever tasted. After that I went to go sleeping. Sleeping in the tent was a very wonderful experience. Finally, we went back home in the afternoon.

A Trip to the Zoo Yesterday my family and I went to the zoo to see the elephant. When we got to the zoo, we went to the shop to buy some food to give to the animals.
