Unit 8 - Write about an experience

In 2011 my family and I went to do rafting in Sort. It was very fun and exciting because we lived toguether for a weekend.

First, I'm going to explain to you what rafting is:
Rafting is an adventure sport that is practiced in a river in a plastic boat. You can go therre with four or six people. These people have to paddle hard and the river current is what moves this boat.
Normally, this sport is practiced when the river flow is high to move this boat easly.


Second, I'm going to explain to you this fantastic weekend.

First we left Girona, and we drove for four hours. When we arrived in Sort, we had lunch and during the rest of the day we visited this town. That first night it rained a lot.

The next day we started the sport very early and it was cold. We climbed the mountain by bus. And my family and I, went down river with a monitor.

This descent was very funny and unforgettable.

And finally, the last day we went to the swimming pool in the hotel.


I want to repeat this lovely adventure!
