Last holiday, my friends and I went to the beach near from our city. We went early in the morning and arrived there at 8 a.m. luckily, that day was sunny. The beach seemed so beautiful under the blue sunny sky. It was great to feel the sand grains beneath our feet and the breeze blowing our hair gently.

At noon, we started to feel hungry, so we decided to head to the nearest food stall. The fish looked fresh and there were a lot of seafood menu listed here. We ordered grilled fishes. The dishes were delicious since the seller made them from fresh ingredients. We filled our bellies to our heart’s content.

We stay until the sun set because many people said the view was so outstanding. They were right, it was amazing. We took great photos as a keepsake of our beautiful moments here. We went home happily and fully recharged, ready for our daily routine, going to school the next day.

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.
