【趣談英語】Theme park trip


  Read Lara's diary about her trip and do the exercises to improve your English skills.

  Yesterday was fantastic! We went on our end-of-year school trip to the theme park. I had to get up so early though as the coach picked us up from school at 8 am!! Not funny!!!

  Can you believe that Dan nearly missed the coach? Typical! He was running down the street shouting and luckily Mr Andrews, the teacher, saw him and stopped the coach. The journey was awful – there was an accident on the motorway so we were in a traffic jam for ages, so we got to the theme park really late and there were already huge queues for all the rides. :(

  The rides were brilliant! I went on the Abyss and Xtreme which is totally crazy! It goes so fast and I felt really dizzy when it stopped. And guess what? Luisa Martin was sick all over herself! Disgusting!!

  After lunch we went on the water rides – my favourite! We got so wet and it started raining too! They took a photo of us on the ride and I had my eyes closed and was screaming with my mouth wide open. Such an embarrassing photo and then Kiara bought it and showed everyone – how embarrassing!

  It was a really good day – so much fun and I can't wait to go again!!
