A day by the sea
Hello!
1.Do you know what? Last Wednesday, I had a fantastic trip. I went to the seaside for the first time. The local “Secours Populaire” organized a trip to Berck Plage, a town on the Channel with a beautiful beach. I live near Meaux, a town east of Paris. With my mother’s salary we can’t go on holidays; it’s too expensive.
2.We got up at five o’clock. Our bus left at 6 o’clock. My two brothers and my sister were very excited. At first everybody sang, but after an hour the young children were very tired and slept again. With Momo, my Nigerian friend, we listened to music. Finally we arrived at 10.
3.Immediately we ran to the sea; it was enormous, dark green, I thought it was blue! It was hot and sunny but the water was very cold, too cold for me. I didn’t want to swim but Momo splashed me and I was wet so I became courageous! My sister Sonya didn’t go in the water, she played in the sand, made sandcastles and looked for shells. The beach was crowded. There were about 1200 people.
4.At picnic time, Dylan and I ate the sandwiches prepared by Mum but my brother Kevin preferred buying chips and “fricadelles”, a local “Ch’ti” speciality.
5.After lunch, I swam for an hour, then we played beach soccer. We lost all our matches but we had fun. The girls didn’t play, they sunbathed but as they didn’t have cream, many were red like lobsters! We left Berck at 6 and came home at about 10, tired abut happy.
6.What a fantastic day! I would like to go to the seaside again. Thank you Secours Populaire. What about you?
PS: Momo helped me to write in English
