Packing the Wrong Clothes
Marco
My family went to the sea last weekend. The internet said the weather was going to be hot, so I only packed thin shorts and T-shirts. I didn't bring any jumpers! But when we arrived, there was a terrible wind and it was freezing. I couldn't go swimming at all. I had to wear my dad's big coat the whole time, and I looked really silly. Next time we go to the beach, I will definitely put some warm trousers in my bag!
Sofia
I went camping in the forest with my friends for two days. I hate carrying heavy bags, so I decided to leave my thick jacket at home. During the day, the sun was bright and warm. But when night came, the temperature dropped very fast. It was so cold inside my tent! I had to sleep in three thin shirts and two pairs of socks to keep warm. I learned a big lesson. I will never go camping without a good sweater again.
Lucas
I visited a famous city with my school last month. Usually, it is very sunny there at this time of year, so I packed my summer clothes. Sadly, the weather changed completely. It rained every day and the air was like ice. We walked around museums and parks for hours, and I felt so cold. In the end, I went to a shop and bought a really thick jumper. It cost a lot of money, but I had to get it!

Keeping your money safe in the city
The Shoe Trick
Are you walking around a big city today? It is a good idea to keep your paper money in your shoes. You can fold the money and put it under your foot. Do not put coins in your shoes, because they will hurt when you walk! Also, remember to wear a clean pair of socks. This is a very safe place, because thieves cannot easily check your feet. You only need to take your shoe off when you want to buy something.
The Secret Jacket
When you visit a busy town, do not keep your cash in your trousers. Instead, you can use a jacket with a secret place inside. You can ask an adult to use a needle and thread to add a small pocket inside your coat. Put your money in this new pocket and close it carefully. Nobody can see it from the outside! It is very easy to open when you need to pay for your lunch or buy a bus ticket.
The Money Belt
Do you want to feel safe on a busy street? A money belt is a great choice! It looks like a normal belt that holds your trousers up. But, if you turn it around, there is a long zip on the inside. You can open the zip and put your paper money in there. It is not big enough for a phone or a thick wallet. But it is perfect for cash. You can wear it under your shirt all day.
