Last Saturday was my friend Jack’s birthday. A group of us went with him and his parents to the seaside. It was an awesome day.
1First, we went for a walk along the pier. We could see the sea through the gaps in the wood under our feet. It was a weird feeling.
After 2 we went to a fun fair and had a ride on a gigantic rollercoaster. It’s 60 metres high! While we were queuing I got really scared – I think Jack did, too – and when it was our turn his mum couldn’t even watch! The train carried us up quite slowly –
and 3 WHAM we dropped straight down. It
was terrifying, but also amazing fun. I wanted to do it again, but the queue was too long.
4 we went on a water ride round a big lake. That was brilliant, too. We got very wet, but luckily it wasn’t a cold day!
5 that we were quite hungry, so we went into a park and had a picnic.6 we all went for a walk along the beach.

Holidays in the UK
Are you taking a tent, staying in a country cottage or relaxing in a five-star hotel? Make sure you read our travellers’ tips!
I’m not sure about the weather. What clothes should I pack?
You don’t say when you are going, but you can be sure the weather will be different every day. It’ll probably rain, so take an umbrella and take some comfortable shoes for sightseeing. In the summer, you’ll need sunglasses and sun cream, but take a jumper, too because it might not be very warm in the evenings. In the winter, you might have sunny days, but it will be cold and it may even snow.
My family and I are staying in a B & B. What will the food be like?
‘B & B’ means ‘bed and breakfast’. You won’t get lunch or an evening meal, but you’ll enjoy a good breakfast, usually a choice between ‘continental’ or ‘full English’.
You certainly won’t be hungry after a ‘full English’ of eggs, sausages, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms, as well as toast and marmalade!
It sounds boring, but British people love talking about the weather. Conversations often include phrases like ‘It’s a lovely day, isn’t it?’ or even ‘Nice weather for ducks!’ So, if you want to start a conversation there’s always something to discuss!
A lot of cafés offer ‘All day breakfast’ on their menus. As well as the eggs, sausages, etc. look out for something called ‘bubble and squeak’ – it’s fried cabbage and mashed potato!

Stranger than fiction:
Remember, the two men hadn’t met before. Was it all chance, or had the brothers communicated in some strange way before they met? Nobody really understands it.
Identical twins look and often behave exactly the same. It’s not surprising – they share the same genes and they grow up together. But what happens when they’re separated and lose touch?
When he was nine, James Lewis discovered he had an identical twin. Different families had adopted the babies when they were one month old. The hospital hadn’t told them their new sons were twins. Thirty years later, James managed to find his brother. Amazingly, they had grown up only forty-five miles apart. James’s brother was also called James – but that was just the first of many weird coincidences. When they finally met, these are some of the things they discovered:
the amazing story of James and James
Both men had married women called Linda.
Both men had then got divorced and had married women called Betty.
One man had named his son James Alan, the other had named his son James Allan.
James Lewis had once owned a dog called ‘Toy’ – and his brother had given his dog the same name.
Both men had worked at a petrol station and a burger bar.
They had had the same illnesses and they had gained and lost weight at the same points in their lives.
They enjoyed the same sports and hobbies, drove the same kind of car and went on holiday to the same place.

‘Have a wonderful time and don’t come back with a broken leg.’
‘Don’t worry, Mum, I’ll be fine. I’ll text you when we get there. Byeee … ’
Don waved to his family as the coach drove away from the school. Then he turned to his friend Harry.
‘I can’t believe it, after all this time. It feels like I’ve been saving for this ski trip forever!’
‘I know. I dream about washing-up! But it’s worth it. This is going to be awesome.’
They had both worked hard to pay for the trip. Harry had found a Saturday job in a local restaurant and Don had worked for his parents in their corner shop. This was their first ski trip and they were very excited. Their friend Sarah leant forward from the seat behind.
‘Not long now. A whole week in the Italian Alps! I can’t wait!’
The friends soon discovered that skiing wasn’t as easy as it looked. By the end of the fourth day they were aching all over and exhausted – but happy. That evening Harry was talking to Don and Sarah.
‘You’re a natural, Don. You’ll be in the advanced class soon!’
‘I don’t think so, but I’m having a fantastic time. Anyway, I’m off to bed now. I’m so tired!’
Sarah followed Don to the door.
‘Are you OK?’
‘Yeah, why?’
‘Oh, nothing. Sleep well, then.’
‘What was that about?’
‘Surely he’s told you? There’s been a fire at the shop. Nobody was hurt, but lots of stuff was damaged. I think it was quite serious.’
‘How do you know that?’
‘My parents live in the same road. My sister texted me.’
‘Oh, how awful! I’m sure nobody’s told him. I guess they don’t want to spoil his week. He’ll want to go home if he finds out.’
‘Oh no. Now what? Are you going to tell him?’
