TAPE SCRIP
My name is Lan. Now I am going to tell you about my summer vacation. Last year my parents and I
went to Vung Tau by car. The weather was nice and sunny. In the morning I went shopping with my
mother and sometimes I got up early to see sunrise. In the afternoon my father and I sunbathed on the

beach. We stayed there for three weeks. It is an interesting vacation because a holiday on the beach is
healthy and pleasant. Then we returned home on Sunday.
