Creative Writing 4 (Easter holiday)
You may stick some pictures of your travel instead of drawing.
Q: What did you do at Easter, Ms Zoe?
A: At Easter, I went on a trip to Bali in Indonesia with my husband because it has been a long while since we traveled together and we both worked very hard so we wanted a relaxing vacation together. We swam in a waterfall, visited a temple and went trekking on a rice terrace. The rice terrace was super beautiful and the waterfall swim was very exciting. We also swam a lot in the hotel and went sunbathing for the whole day at a beach. It was a very relaxing and fun holiday because we had so much fun at Bali.
What tense do we use in this writing when we recount past events?
