SAMPLE: A Journey I Remember – A trip with family
Good morning friends!One of the best journeys I remember is a trip I took with my family to Ooty. It was during the school holidays, and my parents decided to take me and my brother on a small vacation. I was very excited because I love traveling.
We started our journey early in the morning by car. The weather was cool, and my father played music in the car. On the way, we saw green fields, tall trees, and many small villages. My mother told us stories, and I also played some games with my brother. The road had many curves and hills, and I enjoyed looking out of the window.
After a few hours, we reached Ooty. The place was very beautiful. I saw big mountains, colorful flowers, and tea gardens everywhere. We visited the Ooty Lake, where we went boating. It was so much fun because I felt like floating on water. Then we went to the Botanical Garden, where I saw many different kinds of flowers. My parents clicked many photos of me and my brother.
In the afternoon, we ate a special meal at a hotel. I enjoyed eating hot dosa and chutney. After lunch, we went to a small market where my father bought me a toy car, and my mother bought some chocolates and tea packets.
My favorite part of the trip was riding the toy train. The train moved slowly through tunnels and mountains. I waved to people outside, and they waved back. I laughed and enjoyed every minute of it.
In the evening, we returned home. I was a little tired, but my heart was full of happiness. I told my grandparents everything about the journey when we reached back. It was a wonderful day, and I will never forget this trip with my family.
Thank you! ”
