Last Saturday, David and his classmates went on a school trip to the mountains. Before leaving, the teacher told them, “You must wear comfortable shoes, and you mustn’t forget to bring water. You should also take a hat because the sun can be very strong.”
When they arrived, the students were excited. Some of them said, “We can see the whole town from here!” Others asked, “___ we climb to the top?” The teacher replied, “Yes, but you have to stay with the group. Nobody may go alone.”
During lunch, David realized he had lost his sandwich. Luckily, his friend said, “You can share mine.” After eating, they walked through a forest. The teacher reminded them, “You mustn’t touch the wild animals, but you may take photos.”
At the end of the day, everyone was tired but happy. On the bus home, the teacher said, “You all did very well today. Next time, we should bring more water. And remember: we must always respect nature so that we can enjoy it again.”
