 Camping in the Mountains
Erica's Diary - May 26, 2021
Today we are at Yellowstone National Park, so I am very happy. Our family comes
here every summer for vacation. We really love being outside. We go camping in
the forest, and we sleep outside. We are under the stars. We have a campfire at
night. It is in front of our tent. There is a lake. It is next to our campsite, so we can
go fishing and go swimming. There are many tall trees. They are above our tent,
and we can see a waterfall. It is between the mountains. Also, there’s a small
shop. It is behind our campsite, so we can go shopping. I buy snacks for the family,
and my mom buys gifts for my grandparents. It’s very beautiful here, but it’s very
hot. We go hiking in the morning. It is cool in the morning. At night, we sit around
the campfire with other families. I made a new friend named Olivia last night, and
we had a lot of fun. Yellowstone is my favorite place for vacation.

Erica’s mom: I see. Where is your brother?
Erica: He’s here. He is under the water with the fish.
Erica’s mom: Is there a waterfall between the mountains?
Erica: Yes, there is. I like the waterfall. Now, I want to paint some birds above the waterfall.
Erica’s mom: That’s a good idea. What’s behind those trees?
Erica: Oh, that’s a bear.
Erica’s mom: A bear? I don’t remember a bear in Yellowstone!
Erica: There was no bear. I only painted it.
Erica’s mom: Oh, okay. Who is that by the river?
Erica: You don’t remember? My friend Olivia was with us too.

 PREPOSITIONS IN SENTENCES
 We can use prepositions after am/is/are and before the noun.
For example: a bear is behind the trees.

 We also use prepositions before important nouns.

 We use “in” before a city, province, state, country, or continent.

For example: Chile is in South America.

 We use “on” before the name of a street or the floor of a building.

For example: the bookstore is on University Street.

 We use “at” before an address or the name of a building.

For example: we live at 1123 Booker Street.
