*Tapescript:
The weekend picnic I enjoyed
most was just a few week ago.
My class decided to pay a visit to
the Botanical Garden.
It was a glorious Sunday. We
assembled at the school gate on
time and travelled to the
Botanical Garden by bus. It was
a long way to our destination and
we sung merrily all the way.
The Botanical Garden was a very
beautiful place. We made a short
effectivley
tour round the garden and took
some pictures of the whole class.
Then we played a lot of games
on a spacious piece of grassland.
One of the boys brought along
his guitar and we sang our
favourite songs. We laughed,
talked and danced, too. After a
delicious meal with various kinds
of food that we brought, we all
took a rest. Some of us slept very
soundly because it was so
peaceful and quiet there. In the
afternoon, we went on playing
some more games. Then we
packed up the leftovers and
started home. We all felt happy.
