Suggested answer:

The picnic to Dai Lai Lake with my classmates last

week was the most memorable one for me.

We gathered at the school gate and set off at 8.00

a.m. It was a beautiful Sunday with sunshine and
clear sky. We were all excited about the barbecue and
the games on the camping site.

While we were cycling on the road chatting gaily

with each other, my bicycle suddenly stopped. I
found that the tyre was flat. I was so worry because I
was on the road. My friend and I had to walk for
about 15 minutes. Luckily we saw a bicycle –
repairing shop and the man enthusiastically fixed it in
the very short time.

We reached the lake a bit late, but we still enjoyed

the picnic. We played a lot of games and had a
wonderful time together.
