二、补全短文
Dear Kitty,
Last week I went to Hawaii with my family. We had a wonderful time. 1 The beach was fantastic and we played volleyball there. The hotel also had a nice swimming pool. 2 So we went swimming a lot. We had breakfast and lunch in the hotel. The food was great. 3
We also went to the mountains. The bus trip there was relaxing. 4 The next day we went shopping for clothes. Hawaiian shirts were pretty. In October, the shops were very crowded and clothes were a little expensive there. 5 We took many photos. Everyone had a good time!
Yours,
Grace
We ate lots of delicious fruit, like bananas, oranges, and pineapples. We stayed at a hotel on the beach. The weather was warm. We often play basketball after school on the playground. The mountains were very beautiful. But the people there were very friendly. Hawaii is a good place to have fun.
