Preparation
My last holiday
My last holiday was a five-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. I know Prague well because I lived there when I was at university, more than ten years ago.
Instead of staying in a hotel, I stayed with one of my old friends. It was so much fun, and a little bit like my old life. I wanted to do all the same things I did in my university days, so I visited the university. It has changed a lot and looks more modern. I also went to the supermarket near my old house. I loved seeing all the different foods. I was really happy to find my favourite cheese and chocolate biscuits but they were a bit more expensive than I remember!
We did some touristy things too. We walked up beautiful Petrin Hill and around the castle. The views of the city are amazing up there. We walked across the historic Charles Bridge. My friend's flat is very near the TV Tower so we saw the famous baby statues climbing up it. Those things haven't changed, of course.
Tips
1. Try to make your writing interesting for the reader. To do this, you can make it personal with your own memories and experiences.
2. Use adjectives to add detail to your descriptions.
3. Write clear and simple sentences and organise your ideas in short paragraphs. Give each paragraph a different topic.
4. Use so, but, and, because and other linking words.
We had our summer holiday in the west cost of Korea. We stayed in a beach hotel near the city center, We stayed for 2nights and 1day in a deluxe room with side seaview on the 10th floor.
On the first day, rain poured down in torrents, we couldn't go swimming in the beach so we decided to just go to the nearby indoor pool. We had no luck on the following day it rained a lot so we just stayed in our room binge watch the entire season of 'Descendants' to keep my daughter amused. It was such a shame, we couldn't make most of our holiday. However on our last day the weather was wonderful, we visited a famous traditional market, there were lots of scrumptious snacks, lots of tourist and long queues. It was fun though. Thinking about our trip makes me feel nostalgic.In fact It was our first family trip together, I guess it wasn't that bad at all. Well I think I just to remind myself to look at the bright side of everything
My last holidays was in April. Normally, we have long holidays in April in Myanmar. April is Myanmar new year month. We get nearly 7 or 10 holidays so we travel or doing good things or offering traditional foods with our neighbors. Most of the elder people go to monastery or famous pagoda to offer arm foods to the Monks or keeping sabbath.
Since ı work too hard ı only can once a year vacation and this isn't enough for me. When people work hard some times their brains don't work when this happened you should rest. Last year this time ı went 4 days camping with my friends. That is my last holiday we really enjoyed during the holiday.
I wish I went to Prague, Czech Republic, with my husband, because there was our fist trip eight years ago. It might bring even more romance to our relationship.
My last holyday was three days in Havana city. I didn't stay at a hotel becuase they're so expensive. I stayed at my family's house. I spent a great with my family. We visited a few interesting places there. We visited the most famous musuem in Havana city, it's called The Revolution's Museum. Because the museum has the whole history of our country. I had fun a lot. I hope to come back soon.
My last holiday was in in a city with a lots of population. I don't think I enjoy it.
My last holidays was a one-week trip to a town near Barranquilla, I spent the New Year's holidays there.
The place was a bit calm, but entertaining. I really missed my family and how I couldn't visit them, I was in the company of some friends
My last holiday is in a room.
It is a beach and we ate a lot of seafood, that is really a great memory
