WRITING: Here is my story

A. The following is what Sandy experienced on her vacation. What kind of vacation she had? Where
did she go? What did she do there?

During the last summer vacation, I got an opportunity to visit Sheila; and it was very
remarkable. Only a month before, my uncle, who is an officer in the A.P. Forest Department, was
transferred there. He invited me to spend my summer vacation there with him. It was the month
of May, when it was very hot in the plains. I along with my friend, Rakish, went to Sheila. We went
there by train which passed through many dark tunnels.
As we reached Sheila, my uncle was already there to receive us. He at once took us
to his house. We were simply charmed at the conducive climate of Sheila. There was no more heat

of the summer. It was rather cold there and we had to be careful about wearing our clothes well.
At Sheila we had a routine for alternate work and rest. We, both the friends were very weak in
studies. Particularly, we abhorred English as a foreign language. We wanted to make up our
deficiency in this subject. We had brought our books with us. Fortunately for us, my uncle is an
M.A. in English Language and Literature. He helped us a lot in our studies. At the end of a month
we realized that we no longer dreaded this foreign language.
We took regular exercise and had morning walks at shiplap. Occasionally, we went
for sight-seeing. The green trees, colorful flowers, dancing springs and float¬ing clouds and
occasional showers kept us refreshed. One day before our holidays were to be over, we returned
to the hot plains. But the memory of Sheila is still fresh in our minds.
