MY LAST VACATIONS IN CARTAGENA

(teacher's example)

Last year during my vacation time I went to Cartagena, I stayed for a week in my sister's house. There, I visited many interesting places and I met many people from different countries. I travelled with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed the trip. We visited San Felipe de Baraja’s Castle which is a historical fort that Spanish people built many years ago. We also visited the “Ciudad amurallada” and the “Centro histórico” of the city; that was a very exciting experience because we learnt very much. One of the things I liked the most, was the sea, the weather was very sunny and hot. We swam a lot during our last days before returning. When we came back, we told to our parents about the experience and we were very happy for our holydays.
