My whole family was involved in the event. | have a brother and a sister so of course they came as well as my Mom and Dad 25IELTS Speaking Success Speaking Topics The theme park was really amazing. There was a huge roller coaster which | remember was really scary but still excellent fun. One particular thing | remember is the ghost train, My younger sister was not allowed to go on the ride because she was too young and she was really upset and jealous of me and my brother! I think it was lucky she didn't though, It was really realistic - there were real people in there who were actually dressed up as ghosts and they jumped out just when you weren't expecting it - it made us jump so many times! How | felt really depended on what | was doing. Obviously | was excited the whole day, but | remember that | felt really exhilarated when | was on the rides such as the roller coaster, and scared but still excited on the ghost train. The reason that I remember it so well is that | had been so desperate to go to the theme park and Id been talking to my friends at school for ages about how | wanted to go. So it was So great when | found out that | could. Also | remember it so well because all of our family was together. My Dad was pretty busy most of the time with his work so we didn’t always have much time to do things together when | was younger. So for these reasons, it was a really special occasion that I'l never forget. 4, CAC TOPIC THUONG GAP TRONG IELTS SPEAKING PART 2 Céc chil dé duge uu di nhit trong IELTS Speaking Part 2 thudng lién quan dén céc sy kién, trai nghiém c4 nhdn. 6 chii dé ln trong dé thi Speaking Part 2 la: Describe a place, a person, an object, an activity, an event.
