Read the text "OUR HOLIDAY".

We didn't go on holiday last August because Dad had too much work. We stayed at home. We sometimes visited Granny and Grandad in the country at the weekend.

Then one evening, we were sitting near the fire. It was cold and dark. Suddenly, Dad said to Mum: ‘We didn’t have a summer holiday. Let’s go to a warm country for ten days!’ ‘That’s a wonderful idea!’ said Mum. So we bought tickets to Jamaica!

We arrived there late on Saturday night and took a taxi to our hotel. It had a big swimming pool and the beach was a hundred metres away.

The next day, Mum and I went snorkelling. We were swimming in the warm water when we saw some dolphins.

Dad and my sister stayed at the hotel. They swam in the pool and read books all day.

We did other things too. We went sightseeing, and in the evening we listened to reggae – that’s Jamaican music. It was too hot to go hiking in the Blue Mountains, but we went on a boat trip on the Martha Brae River. Our guide was a friendly man and he told us about the animals and birds we saw.

It was the best holiday of my life!

Tick the statement "True" or "False"

    Matt stayed at home last August because his dad had too much work.
