Mini story
I love going to the beach. Every weekend, I go there with my friends. We like to swim in the ocean and ride the big waves. Sometimes, we bring a picnic lunch and eat sandwiches and fruit.
One day, while we were at the beach, I saw a cute dog playing in the sand. I wanted to pet it, so I asked my friends if we could go closer. As I approached the dog, it wagged its tail and licked my hand. I felt so happy that I gave the dog a big hug.
After spending a few hours at the beach, we decided to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. I ordered a delicious steak with mashed potatoes and a glass of orange juice. My friends ordered fish and chips and a bottle of wine to share. We all enjoyed our meal and talked about our fun day at the beach. I can't wait to go back next weekend!
