Answer 2

Hi Jackie,

I’m writing to tell you about my holiday. We hired bicycles and on the first day we cycled beside the Grand Union Canal, which was built in 1793 to carry goods from the Midlands to London. It was very relaxing. The next day we cycled around a lake. That took a few hours but there was a small sandy beach and a little shade where you could sit under. We camped there and the next day we hired a boat. The only problem was there was a lot of thick mud at the side of the lake which we got stuck in. We weren’t in danger because the water was shallow, but there was a risk of not being able to get the boat out. On another day we went for a walk to the top of a hill. It wasn’t very high but we had a lovely view. We came down the other side and stopped in the village at the bottom for lunch in a really nice café. I’d recommend it.

See you soon.

Love, Maria
