A year ago, our family went to Norway. It was a memorable trip we took in the last five years. There are five people in our family, and we went to Norway to take a flight, book a restaurant, and also a hotel. We went to the mountains. Norway is popular for its mountains, which is why we went there in winter. We went skiing in the mountains and played snowballs with my brothers. We also visited the sea and saw dolphins. It was the first trip we took as a family, and it was memorable. It was memorable because during the trip, we encountered some interesting moments. For example, there was one person who knew English in our family, and that was me. We approached the hotel manager to ask about some rooms we wanted to book. I went to the hotel manager and inquired about the available rooms. The hotel manager responded in a strange way, and I didn't understand at all. That's why I needed to ask another person. The next person had a nice English accent.
