a Friday evening
waiting at the bus stop
a car stopped …Then write the story,
use your notes help you : It was a Friday evening. I was waiting at the bus stop
after school when a car stopped and the driver opened the door. It was my father. “Quick, get in!” he told me. I was very surprised, but I did as he said. At first, I was worried that
something bad had happened. Then I noticed my mother. She was also in the car and on the back seat, there were some bags of clothes and some food. My father was driving the car, but he was not driving home. He was driving out of the town. “Where are we going?” I asked. It was a warm evening and lots of people were walking alone the road. It was the last day of term. Did my parents have a big surprise for me? We were going somewhere special — but where? The next I can remember is falling asleep. When I woke up, I saw the tea, we were at the beach. My father was smiling. “Here we are,” he said. The summer holiday starts now!11 Work in pairs. Discuss and revise
