🌟 A DAY BY THE SEA

Read about Mia’s day.

Hi! I’m Mia. I’m spending the weekend in a small town by the sea with my family.

Today the weather is sunny and warm. There isn’t much wind, so the sea is calm. In the morning, we go to the beach. I swim in the sea and my brother plays beach volleyball. My parents sit under a beach umbrella and read their books.

In the afternoon, we walk around the town. There are some small shops, a café and a beautiful park. We have ice cream and take some photos.

In the evening, the weather gets cooler. We have dinner in a restaurant near the sea. I love this place because there are lots of things to do!
