The sample writing
Last weekend we all went to Ba Vi for a camping holiday. We went to school at 4:30 a.m because the bus would leave the school at 5 a.m. The first thing we did at the campsite was putting up the umbrella tent. Next we went around to watch wildlife in the forest. Some went fishing and swimming in the lake. Then we went back to our tent and prepared lunch. We cooked food over an open fire. After having lunch, we took a rest. In the evening, we put up a big fire to prepare for some activities. We sang and danced around the camp fire and also played some games . We left the campsite at 4 p.m the next day. Although all of us were tired, we had a good time to live together.
IV. GAME: WHO IS THE FASTER?
There are 7 mistakes in this paragraph. (Each sentence has only one mistake). Find out and correct them.
Once in London, we decided taking a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the tour, we will buy some sandwiches and ate them in a small park. In the afternoon, two of us go shopping and the others went to the theatre. We meet again at 6:30 p.m and the others went to a small restaurant. The meal is really good but, unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected. We have to get a taxi to the coach station. Luckily, we get there just two minutes before our coach left.
