I wake up yesterday morning and I get out of bed at about seven in

the morning. It is a beautiful day. The sun is

shining and a breeze is blowing gently. I decide

that I want a walk with my dog that afternoon

after I finish doing the housework. At around 3

o’clock I start by walking down my road. I push

open my gate and close it behind me. I walk for

miles and miles along a country road. I even visit my aunt and enjoy a

cup of tea with her. Along the way I pass a young man selling fruit.

‘How much are the apples?’ I ask. ‘£1 for a bag,’ he say. I pay the man

and I continue to walk. I eat all of the apples except for one, which I

drop on the ground, they are delicious. After a while I meet another

man, this man have a dog. The dog is a puppy, it have a brown coat.

‘What is his name?’ I ask the man. ‘His name is George,’ say the man. I

walk for a very long time, soon the sun begin to go down. It is a

beautiful sunset. I get home at about 6:30. I is very tired, so I go to

bed at 10:00. I put on my pajamas and go straight to bed. As soon as

my head hit the pillow I fall asleep. That is the best walk of my life, I

love it. The next day I call my mother and tell her all about it.
