A Day at the Beach (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:32s
Tim and Sam go to the sea. They see a big boat and decide to row it. They take turns to rub sun cream on their arms and faces so they won’t get burned. After some time, they run along the shore, chasing the waves and laughing loudly. When it gets dark, they feel sad because they don’t wanna leave. Sam says, this was fun. Let’s set a day to come back soon. They nod, pack up their things, and head home already dreaming about their next adventure at the beach.
