Sample answer
about 123 words · 1 minuteLast summer, I went to the beach with my family for a weekend trip. The weather was bright and sunny when we arrived at the shore. The ocean water was blue and warm, and the sand felt smooth under my feet. First, my brother and I built a huge sandcastle with towers and a moat around it. Later, we jumped into the waves and swam together. In the afternoon, my parents rented a big umbrella, and we ate cool ice cream while watching the seagulls fly around. We stayed at the beach until sunset to watch the sky turn orange and pink. It was a wonderful day because I love being near the water. That beach trip is one of my happiest memories.
