📖 Passage
Last summer, Tom and his family went to the mountains for a short holiday. The weather was so hot that they decided to escape the city. The trip was such a good idea that everyone felt relaxed. Their hotel was not big enough for many guests, but it was very comfortable. Every morning, Tom used to go hiking with his father while his mother stayed at the hotel and read books. In the afternoon, they were going to visit a lake nearby, but sometimes it was too rainy to go out. Both Tom and his sister enjoyed playing games in the hotel garden. Either Tom or his father usually told funny stories in the evening, so the whole family laughed a lot. At the end of the holiday, they were all so happy that they promised to come back next year.
