Use a mindmap or draw pictures to help you be creative. Then, write your text.

Useful vocabulary Last month I was on vacation with my family, we went for a walk to the beach. First we looked for a good place to spend it. After that we entered the sea, it was very fun we played game, we made sandcastles, while I was walking on the beach I found a sea snail. In the afternoon we went to eat ceviche, it was delicious. When we left the restaurant we saw a concert that I was playing then we stayed to see each other. At night we returned to our house the journey was very heavy because we were very tired, when we arrived we were all sleeping. We showered for dinner. We finally put a netflix movie but nobody finished watching it and in the end we all went to sleep.
