I want to share with you an interesting story that I heard on the TV. Last summer, in the middle of August, I remember I was playing volleyball with two of my friends on the beach. After we finished playing volleyball, one of my friends suggested to go to the Arwad island. My other friend Ahmad accepted the idea but for me I apologized because I felt very tired and decided to come back to my home. But unfortunately, nobody of us told their parents that they were going to the Arwad island by boat. So, after I went back to my home and lied down on the sofa, I remember I turned on the TV and changing the cameras on the TV and suddenly noticed an important news about two boys are lost in my city and their names are similar to my friend or the same names of my friends. Suddenly, I noticed that they were searching for my friends and coastal guards started using boats in the sea because their family thinks that they were got lost in the sea or sank. I remember this story was really interesting and exciting because nobody know where their art accepted me. So, I felt a little bit of excitement and nervous because I had to go to their parents and told them that they were in peace and they went to Arwad island to change their mood just.

My other friend Ahmad accepted the idea, but I apologized because I felt very tired and decided to go back home. Unfortunately, none of us told our parents that we were going to Arwad Island by boat. After I went back home and lay down on the sofa, I remember I turned on the TV and changed the channels. Suddenly, I noticed an important news story about two boys who were lost in my city, and their names were similar to my friends' names. I realized that they were searching for my friends, and the coastal guards started using boats in the sea because their families thought they had gotten lost at sea or had sunk. I remember this story was really interesting and exciting because nobody knew where they were except me. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness because I had to go to their parents and tell them that they were safe and had gone to Arwad Island to change their mood.
