EXAMPLES

PASSAGE A: PERSONAL RECOUNT

A week ago, my boyfriend and I went to the beach. We headed from home at 2 PM and

finally got there at 4 PM. It took so long but I enjoyed the ride. We were so hungry when
we got to the beach. We decided to buy some foods before strolling around the beach.

At half-past 4, we started to walk around the beach. I was so happy to be there with my

boyfriend. He holds my hand and we talked about many things. He told me about his
family and school. I told him about my cat and we talked about anything until the sun was

going to set. It was very beautiful.

We enjoyed the sunset and he gave me his jacket to protect me. At 6 PM, we went back
home. On the way we stopped for dinner. We ate burger and ice cream. We finished our

trip by 9 PM and he went back home safely.
