My First Trip to Hanoi

My name’s Nam and I want to tell you a funny story about my first trip. Last
weekend I went to Hanoi with my family. We took a cheap flight and we stayed in a
hotel in the city centre. I packed all my clothes and my computer in a bag. My dad
asked me not to check it in but I did. We got our luggage at the airport. When I

opened my bag, it was full of books and girls’ clothes. The bag looked exactly like
my bag but there were skirts, shoes and lots of books and magazines. I phoned the
airport but they didn’t know anything about my bag. Therefore, I spent three days
without any clothes and computer. My brother gave me some of his clothes but they

were too big and I looked terrible! We also visited some famous places in Hanoi such
as Hoan Kiem Lake, Tran Quoc Pagoda and I took some photos of my family. On the
last day of my trip, my bag suddenly arrived at the hotel. I was very happy to see it
and I didn’t have to pack. Anyway, we had a great trip.
