Practise reading the text:
We had a grand holiday last year. My husband and I took
the children to the seaside for a month. We have five children.
John, the eldest, is 12 years old, and little Mary, the baby, is only
two and a half.
John has been to the seaside several times before, but this
was the first time the other children had been. Naturally, it was a
great event for them. For weeks before we were to go they
talked of nothing else and were very busy getting their things
ready. Finally, the day came when our holiday was to begin.
John was a great help in looking after the other children and so
was Betty, who is nearly eleven. It was a fine morning. We were
up very early as we wanted to leave home soon after breakfast.
We made the journey by car, and we took some refreshments
with us so that we could stop for lunch when we found a pleas
ant place in the country. We reached the seaside town, where
we intended to stay in the early afternoon, and as soon as we
arrived the children were asking if they could go down to the
beach and see the sea. After that we spent many hours of each
day on the beach. The children made sandcastles and bathed.
John and Betty, who are quite good swimmers, had a swim every
morning with their father while I sat with the others. Several

times my husband and I went to the theatre in the evening and
once or twice we went dancing.
