Last summer holidays I went to Norway. It was fantastic!!! The countryside in Norway is amazing!!! There were big lakes and there was a waterfall. There was a bench in a path next to the lake. There were some mountains and glaciers over there. There was a small village in the valley and there were two cruise boats in the lake. There were some flowers near the lake and there was a path in a beautiful wood. There were many trees in the wood, but there weren't any animals. The weather wasn't sunny or hot, it was cloudy and cold!!! It was great!!!
See you soon,

My last vacation was in summer and I went to Guadalajara. I went to a hotel, There was a very cold pool and near there the river Tajo where I bathed with my brother and my parents, it was fun and I've been going there for two years.

There were also many animals, I took care of a stray cat.
