many people don’t like to stay at home on holidays. they want to go out to see something different or do something exciting. so people from the country come to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. during the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. it’s very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets. many people take cars or buses for traveling.
last may day, my family went to the country by car for our holiday. there was too much traffic on the road. so we had to move very slowly. it took us about an hour to get out of the town. after some time, we came to a hill. it was green and beautiful. we thought this was a good place for a picnic. so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drink out of the car. we sat down and began to eat. suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. we had to run back to our car and have our picnic in the car. then we drove back home. what a sad trip!
