READING COMPREHENSION
Last week, my friend and I rode our bikes to the beach. It was
only five kilometres from our houses.
It was quite windy and there was hardly anyone there. It
surprised us because there were always many people coming there
on the weekends. So, we had the beach on our own. We bought
some hot chips, rode our bikes, played in the water and sat under
the trees.
We really had a great time.
