0:00 / 0:00

My name is Anna. I am 22 years old. I live in a small town near the sea. In summer, the weather is usually hot and sunny. I love going to the beach with my family and friends.

Last Saturday, I went to the beach with my sister, Emma. We got up at eight o'clock in the morning. We had breakfast at home. I ate bread, cheese, and an apple. Emma had eggs and some orange juice.

We left home at nine o'clock. The beach is not far from our house, so we went there by bicycle. It took about twenty minutes.

At the beach, we found a nice place near the water. Emma likes swimming, but I do not swim very well. I sat on the beach and read a book. Later, we played volleyball with two friends.

At one o'clock, we had lunch. We ate sandwiches, fruit, and ice cream. After lunch, we walked along the beach and took some photos.

We went home at five o'clock. We were tired, but we were very happy. It was a beautiful day, and I want to go to the beach again next weekend.
