I am Dave. Some of my classmates are talking in the classroom.

Jill: My grandparents live on a farm. I went there with my sister. We stayed for seven days. The weather was usually sunny, so most of the time I played outside with my sister. On the farm, I milked cows, fed chickens and rode horses. I had a lot of fun. I think my trip was great.

Mark: I went to Shanghai with my parents. I wanted to visit some museums, but my parents wanted to go shopping. I didn’t like going shopping. So I stayed in the hotel and watched TV all day. It was really a boring trip.

Anna: I think the best place for a holiday is the beach (海滩). I went to Sanya with my brother last year. The sand there was white, and it looked very beautiful. We built (建造) a big house with it. We swam and enjoyed the sunshine. We ate many kinds of seafood. They were delicious. The trip was great. I hope I can visit there again one day.
