2. My last vacation
My last vacation was very fun and fantastic. First I went the mall with my cousins. We went
into the cinema and played in the games. We rose the Mega Lona, but we don't ride in the
bumper cars. Then I went to my grandmother's birthday party and we danced and drank all
night. Finally with my parents we spent the last weekend watching TV. I had the best
vacation ever whit my family.
