1) I went to an activity center in Cornwall. We did lots of things there. Sailing, canoeing and surfing too. I wasn’t very good at that, but it was great fun. My favorite activity though wasn’t in the sea. It was the zip wire. That was amazing. You stand at the top of a hill on one side of a valley. You hold onto a small bar that’s hanging under a long cable. Then you slide down the cable right across the valley to the bottom of the hill on the other side. It’s about 250 m long, great. The best thing about the holiday for me was the fresh air. I live in the middle of Birmingham. It’s a big big city. So it was great to be by the sea for 10 days.

2) The activity center that I went to was in the Lake District. We did mountain biking. Horse riding and archery. I really enjoyed them all. But my favorite thing was raft building. that was really good fun. We had some big barrles and ropes and pieces of wood. And we had to build a raft with them. There were eight of us in each group. It took a long time to build the raft. Then we all got on it and rode across the lake. Our group didn’t win, but at least we reached the other side. Two of the other rafts didn’t. They fell apart. That was really funny to see. What did I like best about the holiday? I made lots of new friends. We had a lot of fun together and we still check to each other on the Internet.

3) I went to an activity center on the south coast of Devon. I had a great time and the weather was nice. We did canoeing and waterskiing and I even wrote a motorbike. Not on the road because I’m not old enough. That was good and I didn’t fall off. My favorite activity was climbing, there was a big climbing wall with things to hold and stand on. I was a bit scared at first because I don’t like heights. But I did it and on the last day we climbed up the cliff by the beach and I got right to the top. I really enjoyed the holiday. The best thing is that I feel much more confident now. Because I did lots of things that I wouldn’t normally do.

4) I went to an activity center in Wales. We did all sorts of things. Swimming, wind surfing and riding on quad bikes and that was great. My favorite thing was the skywalk. It was in a forest, high up in the trees. You had to walk from tree to tree on narrow bridges all along ropes. We had safety harnesses. But the first time it was really scary. But I did it and then I couldn’t wait to do it again. I like all the outdoor activities. But the thing I liked best was the evenings. We got together and sang songs and played games. That was really good fun. We all laughed so much.
