My Last Summer

Hello, I'm Isaac and now I'm going to tell you about my summer. I've done a lot of things, such as going to the beach or playing tennis tournaments every week. School finished on the 19^th of June. That day we went to the beach with all my friends by bus. We had lunch there and in the afternoon we returned at home. I was very happy because the school had just finished.

During July I spend some relaxing weeks at home and going to play tennis in the morning. I spent the afternoons watching TV or playing some computer games. All the weekends of July I went to Roses.

In August I went to Roses with my family. There we went to the beach every morning. One day we went also to AquaBrava, an aquatic park. It was amazing! We all had a great time! There are a lot of cool attractions to go. Some of them were the Anaconda, the Amazonas, the Black Hall or the White Hall. I liked the Anaconda the most. It is a fast slide, but to get into the ride we had to queue a lot of time. That was my favourite day of the summer.

Finally, in September, I spent the last two weeks of my holidays at home, in Banyoles. When I finished my holidays I had to go to school again. I didn't like it.

I think that my summer has been wonderful although I haven't done any trip to another country.
