Today I went to the beach. The sea looked so beautiful. It made me think of great family holidays when I was a child. We always went to the beach for a week in the summer. I remembered playing games with my sister and crying when I couldn’t have any ice cream. Oh, and I remembered finding a huge jellyfish (水母)on the beach.We ran away quickly because we were afraid of it!What thing from your childhood do you remember?

I remember going for long walks in the countryside. I guess I was only eight or nine in the winter, my mom made a big meal, and I still remember the wonderful smell! When we got home, I always couldn’t fall asleep.

What a great story! I remember going to the beach, too—on Christmas Day! My family lived in Australia when I was young. We always got up early. After we opened our presents, we always went to the beach and played games there.
