Write about what you did last weekend:

Last weekend I went to Sochi with my family. We went by car. Sochi is in the south of Russia and is a popular seaside resort. We stayed in a hotel by the sea for one night. On Saturday and Sunday I played in the sea with my family. In the evening we walked around the town and then ate at Pizza Hut. We had a really fun time.

On Sunday I went to visit my grandparents in the town of Volzhsky. I like my grandparents because they always give me a present when I visit them. My grandfather doesn’t work now because he is retired. He is in his late seventies. My grandmother is in her seventies too. We went to indoor water park by car. It took more than two hours/about 20 minutes to drive there. I was tired when we arrived and a little bored. While my parents chatted with my grandparents, I played with my cousins. Then, after lunch, we went to visit a waterfall. We played in the water and had really good fun. It was dark by the time we got back home. I enjoyed myself.

Yesterday I went to the city center with my father and younger brother. We visited the Zoo. We walked around and saw many animals. My favourite animal was the camel. It has a very long neck. My brother was scared of the snakes. He doesn’t like them. After lunch, we fed the fish and then we went on a boat on the lake. That was really fun. We stayed at the zoo for nearly 3 hours. When we went home we were tired so we slept on the bus.
