4. Sample paragraph
During my summer holiday last year, I decided to visit Ba Ria – Vung Tau with my family and some friends for a few days. In the early morning of the first day we set off from Hanoi by car. On the way there we enjoyed the wonderful weather with sun and breeze. When we arrived at noon, we immediately took a cab to the hotel because we all felt tired. For the next two days, we did a lot of sightseeing because the city was beautiful with many tourist attractions, such as the statues and pagodas. We also went to the beach for swimming and sunbathing. On the last day, we paid a visit to my friend’s family who are locals there. They treated us with an amazing lunch. Then we all had a rest and in the afternoon took the coach back to Hanoi. That was a wonderful journey and we all felt relaxed and refreshed. ">
