A.  Andrew

Today our teacher asked us where we are going on holiday and what we are taking with us. I’m going to the beach with both my parents. I don’t need my passport. It will be very hot, so I am taking my swimming costume and a big towel but not an umbrella. I like my blue towel, it’s my favourite colour. My friend told me to take my camera because you can sometimes see dolphins. I will also take my seater as it sometimes gets cold at night.

B.  Peter

My teacher asked me about my holiday. I’m going to a house in the mountains with my uncle and aunt. It will be very cold all the time, so I will take my favourite blue scarf and gloves. My aunt said there will be a lot of snow. We are going there because my uncle likes snowboarding. I am excited because I will go on a helicopter again. We are going to the top of the mountain. I must take my trainers and a good hat!

C.  Ben

I told our teacher that I’m going on holiday to the forests in Germany with my father and my brother. This will be the first time I go on an airplane. We will go to the airport two hours before the flight. My mum says it rains a lot in the area we are going to. So, I’ll take my blue raincoat which has a picture of a dolphin on it and possibly an umbrella. I will also take my yellow boots and, of course, my passport.
