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.

My last holiday was last year. I went to Chile to visit my family for six weeks. I stayed in my parent's house. Always is nice to visit my family, but also takes a few weeks to feel at home again. Many things changed in my natal town and in my country that I have to adapt to again. The family grows with new nieces and a nephew, so almost all the attention goes over them. I had the warmest family time and enjoyed catching up with my brothers and sister because we don`t use to call much often by phone. We had a great time together that I appreciate because was just before covid.

Hi, my last holiday was very funny and just wonderful. I visited Wishingthon state with my friend. we did camping in the forest, it was a little cold but in october the season give lots of different colors in the trees. It was very beautiful. After, we saw the snowy mountains, we drove under the snow while one hour and we finished in the desert, with a beautiful sun. It was some incroyable different views. I loved walk in kirkland erea, between the trees and the road. To spend a time with my friends at the restaurant or in some bar.

My last holiday was spent in Denia which is in Spain. we went there with my four friends. We stayed at a home during 7 days. I had really good memories. That was the first time i went to Denia. It has amazing beach near the house. the house is small but it has huge balcony and from thw balcony you can see the beach. one day we went a restaurant for lunch and i ate the best vegetarian hamburger in my life!! It was amazing so i recommend it everyone. Every day we went to beach and had lots of fun. 3 days we went to fun fair and we had wonderful funny time there. Denia is a small city but its pretty good to do summer holidays. For sure it depends if you have a house to stay or you have to stay at hotel. for me i prefer to stay at house.

The last holidays for me was go back my home town. It was so exiting for me because I didn't go back home about tree years. So, I wanted to see my mother and my younger brother and I missed them at that time. When I was in my home, I met with my kitty. He was grown a lot. He was big and he didn't remember me. But I still loved him. He was so cute for me all the time. My mother cooked good curry for me. I still loved to eat my mother's cooking. She is the best chef all over the world for my family. I couldn't eat her cooking for along time because I was away from my hometown. Now also, I am away from my home. As my hometown is a countryside, I can't get any opportunities for jobs. So, I work away from my hometown. We could see many green fields, if we drove outside from town. It was very pleasure. I visited to central of town. It was a little bit changed. I think it looks more modern. And then I went to the night market in my town. It is very popular in my town. In night market, we can eat traditional food and dinner as you like. I was so amazed to hear the prize for food because it was a little big more expensive than I remember! But It was still fun for my favorite foods to eat. I am so pleased that flavor of foods was still good.
