Saturday, 21st September
In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was sunny today. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o'clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran but we could find no place to hide.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could put up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to put up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o'clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us were very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the thing I've learnt from this trip is the importance of team spirit.
