Hi Dave,
I’m writing to recommend a camping
holiday in Wales! I had a great time with the
people there. I’m glad that my friends came
with me. We went by bus. That was fun! At

the camp, we got up every morning at eight
o’clock, we had breakfast and then the
activities started. We did lots of things, like
trekking and climbing. I liked climbing best.
I didn’t go swimming much, because the
water was too cold for me. In the evenings
after supper, we played games and sang
songs. I got home on Wednesday –
unfortunately! Why don’t you think about
coming with us next summer? It’s great fun!
