Vanessa’s Challenge Question
Use the space below to write a few sentences answering this question:
What
happened on your last vacation? Tell me about one interesting experience.
Sample answer:
Last year we visited my sister-in-law in Pittsburgh. While we were
visiting her, we decided to go to a park with water fountains for children to play in. My
youngest son wasn’t walking yet, but he could still enjoy the water. While my oldest son
was running around in the water fountains, we heard a scream of joy. We turned and
saw that my youngest son was walking and laughing! He was walking for the first time!
What a special vacation!
