My last holiday

My last holiday was a five-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. I know Prague well because I lived there when I was at university, more than ten years ago.

Instead of staying in a hotel, I stayed with one of my old friends. It was so much fun, and a little bit like my old life. I wanted to do all the same things I did in my university days, so I visited the university. It has changed a lot and looks more modern. I also went to the supermarket near my old house. I loved seeing all the different foods. I was really happy to find my favourite cheese and chocolate biscuits but they were a bit more expensive than I remember!

We did some touristy things too. We walked up beautiful Petrin Hill and around the castle. The views of the city are amazing up there. We walked across the historic Charles Bridge. My friend's flat is very near the TV Tower so we saw the famous baby statues climbing up it. Those things haven't changed, of course.

Tips

1. Try to make your writing interesting for the reader. To do this, you can make it personal with your own memories and experiences.

2. Use adjectives to add detail to your descriptions.

3. Write clear and simple sentences and organise your ideas in short paragraphs. Give each paragraph a different topic.

4. Use so, but, and, because and other linking words.

My last holiday was a month in my grandmother's house. I lived there1 year ago with my grandmother when i was a student at high school. This is a peaceful country, it's not noisy and busy as city where i'm living and studying. There are lots of trees and field surround my hometown which makes me feel so comfortable. I had an unforgettable holiday in there because i had a balance and healthy life. i often got up early at 5:00 am to walk morning with my friend and everyday i always play volleyball at 5:00 pm then i came back home and had dinner with my grandmother. Sometimes i and my friend hang out and we have many moment i never forget. But i'm so lazy so my grandmother often do housework but it's quite easy. Although i don't tell with her that i love her so much but i really love my grandmother, she is like the second Mom of me.

My last holiday was five-day trip the Baltic Sea in Poland. I stayed in private house where I rent a room. The weather was perfect all days, heat and sunny. I swam a lot and I walked along the beautiful beach, there were a lot of people. I loved seeing the Sea, the views are amazing. I also went to the restaurants but there were a bit more expensive. I loved this holiday and would recommend it to anyone.

My last holiday was a three-days trip to the north of Iran. Perhaps it is interesting in you if you know though my country is almost in the desert and low wet region, there is a very beautiful and green jungle between the north of Iran and the south of the Caspian Sea. Hi teacher, Is this sentence correct? " There is a very beautiful and green jungle between the north of Iran and the south of the Caspian Sea. "

Hello shahhoseini

Yes, that is grammatically correct and quite clear. It is fine as you have written it, but I would probably make a couple of small changes if I were writing this: 'There is a beautiful, green jungle in the north of Iran, just south of the Caspian Sea.'

All the best
